I played it for a bit when it came out and that's a pretty accurate description. It's kinda of intersting at first, but then it quickly just becomes a level grind. While you can switch classes and eventually sub-class, it also requires you basically start at the beggining of the grind again. I don't know if they've made it any more entertaining since then, but I kinda doubt it. However, Tetra Master which was basically a side game they packaged with it was kinda fun to play on-line :)
