MapleStory is a very unique MMO, and that's part of what makes it so fun!
- Tons of things to do in this massive (side-scroller) world
- Excellent item designs
- Great environment designs
- Nearly perfect game design
- Addicting O_o
- Simple to learn
- Very welcoming and friendly community
- Appealing art style
- It's free! (well... most of it)
- Very unique (how often do you see a side-scrolling MMO?)
THE BAD
- NX Cash (There's no way I'm gonna pay real money for some pixels!)
- Easy to get lost if you die and are unfamiliar with the land
- Leveling system gets very, very slow
- Could go more in depth in some areas of the game
FINAL VERDICT
If you're looking for a free, fun, and addictive MMO, this is definitely a great choice. I'd say it's one of the best MMO games on the web for free, aside from RuneScape. Even though the download is over 1GB, it's worth the hours of fun you'll have playing this game. Great game overall.
