realistically, EVE is one of those love it or hate it types of games. The biggest thing I enjoyed about it is its sandbox environment, where if say I'm tired of pew-pewing stuff in my Harbinger I could get into my Bestower and do some courier jobs or my mining barge and mine while surfin the web.
The main gripe is that the game takes time, lots of time, with the quickest 'classes' (ie miners) taking around 2-3 months to maximize their skills in their area. Also it can spook newbs because from what I remember what happens after the initial tutorial (program & agent) and the extra storyline arc for some free mods and ships, the player is free to do whatever they want.
All in all, give it a try for a few days, ask questions and such in there.
