Xiah Rebirth Review( By HiddenOne ) -- 11-21-2006

Comparison: This game is great the graphics are exactly what you expect from a game such as this, the sound does leave a bit to desire but if your like me you trun off the sounds and let Windows Media Player take over. The game that most resembles this one or that this game closely resembles is Hero Online. Thats not a bad thing either, stunning 3D atmosphere with alot of quest available make this game exciting especially tyring to figure out how to complete these quest in a timely manner. 3 character option instead of 4 1 female class which is the mage class and uses a fan instead of a staff that most of us are use to. 2 Male characters one is the fighter (fist type) and the other is your average swordsman. This game still in open beta should be on almost every ones to play eventually list.

First impression: First I was thinking this game can?t be all that good, compared with MU Online that I had the displeasure of stumbling upon with its unmovable camera. This game allows you different ways to move the camera, you can use the arrow keys or use your mouse by right click the screen then moving. Also I was thinking this game will have alot to live up to considering all the other Korean MMO?s I have played recently, and stunningly and shockingly I was impressed. And I took back my fatal words, I absolutely refuse to play that game.

Graphics (8)
The graphics are stunning in this game, with its very fullaged trees, alot of mobs in this game, high frame rate too even for a lower vid card like I have in my machine. The skill effects are simplistic which is nice to see in a game for once, no high flames gathering around your character as you charge up you skill to release a devastating blow to the enemy. It is a nice change for once not to see those type of effects, and I am sure the developer took that in mind when he created them.

Sound (6)
I did play the sounds for a bit, as I always do with every mmo I play, the effects are good they allow the growl of the animal as you kill it, but the bmg is consistent with all Korean released games. If only all games would allow you to pick your own music like one I have played then game bmg would be a thing of the past.

Gameplay (9)
The gameplay is very simplistic which added a few points to the over all game atmosphere. A novice gamer could step right in and feel comfortable. No unique key functions or short cuts to let your skills fly, this game is very entertaining and I found it very fun. Keep in mind though as you play the game, that you might find a better way to move around, I did with the WASD everyone who has played any mmo knows that is the basis of all movement in most every mmo.

Community (8)
The community of this game is interesting, kind of like Eudmons Online, they have a mentor system very similar to it. As soon as i got in the game I had 50 request to be my mentor. I took one and was treated to a grand tour of Xaih. I did have one problem though which the game community came to my rescue which is surprising considering most people never talk in a game. But the community is very willing to help.

Value (7.5)
This game is very enjoyable and I am sure most of you will find out. Browser launched which makes it a bit easier since you don?t have to wait for a log in screen. I still play this game from time to time when I am not preoccupied with my other games. And with the uniqueness of getting special upgraded weapons through quest that comes in real handy.

Unique features (6)
The only unique feature of this game is one that is similar to Hero Online, the ability to capture and tame pets. But be very careful they aren?t automatically tamed you got to slowly work that way up. How by tossing it a bone every now and then. I found that your pet is very battle ready and attacks most anything that comes near you. The downfall is that doesn?t help you tame the pet I had 4 pets that ran away on me and 1 that turned on me in the heat of battle and almost killed me.

Personal rating: (7)
I like the simplistic style of game play but I always with most mmo?s still in Open Beta feel that there is something lacking in the game something needed to make it complete maybe an additional class.

Overall rating: (7.5)

Market prospect:

This game is very marketable to first time mmo players, it is a great game to use as a stepping stone to even greater better games. I think this game is a great teaching tool towards a wanting hardcore mmo gamer. But I also feel that in its simplicity is its downfall, most hardcore mmo gamers might find it to simple and want to move on cause of boredom or lack of a challenge. But still I believe that this has to be atleast one on your must try list.
