Okay... So I've played Perfect World (in total) for probably between 1-2 hours. Definitely not enough to write a full review, but I do have some thoughts.

It seems to be what RuneScape tried to be. In that meaning, I mean that it got the concept of RuneScape and completely owned it. It leaves you in a nice open world and lets you do as you please. There are four races to choose from: Human, Elf, Untamed, and (I forget the name) some sort of Fish creature. Then there are about 2-3 classes that are exclusive to the race, so (if I did my math right) there's 12 different ways to play the game. If I did that math wrong, someone correct me. :D

The Human is a basic person, mainly for basic sword-slashing gameplay.

Untamed is like some half-human-half-beast thing. They look awesome.

Elves are taller creatures with wings. Mainly for ranged combat (either bow and arrow or magic). They can't fly very far or fast, but it can be used to get some places or maybe escape from an enemy.

And the Fish thingys are basic, but can turn into fish when in water.

I'm enjoying being a human.

The world is HUGE. And the exploration is nice, since everyone can jump pretty high. I like to climb on top of buildings and just mess around.

I've noticed some occasional lag, but nothing to deteriorate from the game.

The game has an obvious Asian style and culture. Many of the towns have Asian architecture implemented into the game, and many of the NPCs' names are ones like "Ling" and "Yaon".

The community is a pretty vast one. Especially in the towns. Though, with a world this huge, it can be hard, at times to find other players out there. It's best to meet some people in the towns and then go and mess around.

The game has (so I've heard) over 2000 quests.

You can get pets if you find eggs, then take them to a zooligist who will hatch them and give you a baby pet to raise, and some of which can be mounted (when older) or fight in combat with you.

The Character customization is in-depth, to say the very least. It nearly brings you to The Sims level of character customization. Very very in-depth for an MMO.

So, overall, the game is looking fun. I don't think it's something that I'll be glued to or anything, but a nice time-killer when I have nothing else to do.

It's completely free, though the download took me about three hours, and I'm running on DSL (via Wi-Fi, but still...). Just a heads up, if you're planning on downloading it, to be ready for a long download time.

If you are interested in downloading it, you can visit their website here.

As always, thanks for reading.
