This review is partly reproduced from Andaleon's MMOsite Blog.

One of the highly-populated, highly-immersive MMORPG games to date, Runescape, still never ceases to amaze even after so many years. The game is expansive, stimulating, and addicting. It's seriously one of the best games I have ever played.

Forsooth, brilliance is thine!

Runescape does what every amazing game should do: iron out bugs and glitches, smoothen the gameplay and graphics, while continually offering new content to improve the already incredible game. And to think this masterpiece is actually browser-based.

For players of Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights, Runescape would feel very familiar - point-and-click gameplay, the default isometric view, numerous different locales, and dozens of hours of gameplay. Then, you'll reconsider the thought... Runescape isn't as similar as these games! Runescape is an entirely different gaming universe! Within the first few minutes (or hours), you'll find that this game stands tall on it own as a fun MMO with an amazing story and unique gameplay.

Runescape partly has the looks of a typical MMORPG. Aside from the usual MMO standards like item and party system, the story also starts out as your usual "makings-of-a-hero" fate. You set off as a lowly peasant, a new hero-in-the-works, swamped by mundane quests from the local townspeople. It isn't until you've achieved higher levels and explored much of the world that you are forced into that epic medieval war of good versus evil.
