Auto Assault Preview

GameSpot brings us an updated preview of NCsoft and NetDevil's Auto Assault, after spending some more firsthand time with the vehicular MMORPG. A little something to get you started:
Auto Assault is set on a post-apocalyptic Earth where three races battle for supremacy. First, there are the remnants of humanity, who survived by living underground but now are returning to reclaim the blasted surface of the planet. Then there are the mutants, who used to be human before they were mutated by the strange alien contamination that destroyed the planet. And finally, there are the biomeks, the cyborg faction that relies on technology, as well as transforming vehicles, to survive. You can create a character (or a stable of characters) based on any of these three races and adventure online aside hundreds, or thousands, of other players.

The entire character-creation system has been revamped since we last saw it, and now it looks as though it's close to final. The system gives you plenty of control to tweak your character's appearance, and you can adjust your body style, the scale or size of your character, his or her skin color, as well as their primary and secondary color.
