Review: Maple Story

This weeks Review is on the FREE multiplayer online side-scrolling anime game Maple Story. I ran across a review of this game a month or so and could not resist the free aspect of it. I figured my kids and I could play this together, we have 3 computers set up and this was some low end requirements so why not? We quickly found that Maple Story was fun, cute, and addictive. You get a choice between 4 classes and some basic looks to choose from. (You get to 'buy' other looks later, this and other things are how the company makes their money). The sidescrolling aspect isn't bad, takes you back to the 'Mario/Zelda' days but with fun anime style. You have keyboard commands to put different facial emotion expressions on your characters face and of course, chat with chat bubbles over your head with all the other players. You get to make groups and just go around killing things and getting loot and experience, and when your done doing that, you do it again, and again, and again. With very little as far as quests to hold your interest this can easily turn into the first downside you may run into. But if Free and Anime hold your attention well enough then this is the game for you. I give it a 6 out of 10. Great graphics, ease of play and computer requirments. Decent community, unkown customer support as I did not check it, I find it to be an all around fun game. -D
