Summary:
This game can be really funny to some people and real boring to other people. If you got friends that changes the perspective, because you can hunt with them, party, and even do some mini games.
Maple Story is an MMORPG (Massive Multi player On-line Role Playing Game) this means you get to control a small character and you can walk around, kill monsters, and talk to other people (People who are connected to the game only duh).
Now here?s the pros and cons of this game.
Pros: - You can meet other people - Fun to play while partying (killing monsters with a team of players) - Addicting play
Cons: - Loads of Patches (around 2 every week) - Loads of hackers - Boring when you first start (no one cares for newbies anyway) - BIG Download (you get to download 20 parts of it)
Classification:
Graphics- 8 The graphics are Anime-like, in other words Cartooned. This may look the game is a complete kinder garden as the monsters are cute and also your character is really well made. (With Facial Expressions, and every change of outfit is noticed) The graphics are 2D and are based in Scroll Screen (Like the Super Mario games)
Fun Factor- 8 This game can be really funny to some people and real boring to other people. If you got friends that changes the perspective, because you can hunt with them, party, and even do some mini games (Not Implemented yet).
But when you first start things can be real boring. Take a Mage for example, their Mana Point Regen is so slow that you need around 5 minutes for it to regenerate fully. But when you are an High level it changes, Spells badly hurt your mp and it regens like there is no tomorrow.
Gameplay-9 The game?s controls are really easy to learn and master. They are not complicated and well explained.
As for the game, I think there are no major problems. You get to travel a lot and fight many monsters. The downside is that when you have a job (Warrior, Mage, Archer or Thief) you get to lose experience, which is extremely bad. But you get the fight monsters, pick up items, get friends. In other words you only contribute for monsters extinction just to gain some levels. Problem is that being in 2D there is no way you can avoid monsters without jumping over them, this leads to massive ¡°kill-stealing¡± (other person finishes the monster you were killing thus getting some experience). Since there is no other way people tend to kill whatever is on their way even if other person is killing it.
