My Review Of The Game

Eckox

As the games in close beta there will be things I'll give pass to because I know when the games goes open beta these problems will be fixed.

Now on to the Review.

Graphics 6/10: For a 2.5d game the graphics are good, nice and colorful, every thing looks perfectly drawn, how ever the graphic animations are a different story, most look broken, or slow, when I cast an Ice ball It looks like the matrix when Its going towards the mob, I don't know if this problem can be fixed due to the developers having to redraw every animation.

customization 5/10: When I first logged into the game there was about 10 clones of me, every one looked the same, I believe that there should be a option that when you make your character you get to choose the hair style and color, not wait untill you get 50k to do it later on in the game.


Sound 3/10: What sound? apart from the music that lasts for 1-2 minutes and the menu sounds thats It, Its all silent untill you cast a skill or spell, for an update I believe that there should be environment sounds (So if your in a desert you hear the sand blowing or vulcher noises or If your in a woody area you hear bird effects, trees rustling etc, character sounds(walking, getting hit and dieing, and monster sounds, (not just for boss monsters but for all monsters) theres really no excuse for not having these.

Game play 8/10: The game play on the other hand is good, loads of quests to do and the grind  is kept to a minimal, with a in game bot this clearly erases grind from the game, but the down side with the bot is that there won't be much of community talking to each other since most people who choose to use the bot will be away. So far I'm level 24, and the quests have not been too difficult to complete.

Summary: Magic World Online 7/10: With this review I am not bashing the game because I believe that the game has potential, theres plenty to do with quests and professions and a theres a lot of class builds to choose (16 in total), the game play is easy so you won't need to be a expert with mmo's to play the game, I hope that some issues do get sorted out because the game can more a lot more better then currently is.

I agree with your reveiw , but for myself i don't care about the graphics, just put in sound please! No game should be complete without sound, i don't care about foot steps, all i want is enviromental sounds, and monsters sounds, i am not asking for much, just the common things in most games.

Thanks for the review. I hope you will experience more gameplay while you lvling up.
For the sound effect, maybe... you need to buy some Bandari's CDs...
As there's no plan for more sound effect atm...
Sorry...

If you really wanted to change the sound, background music and such. . . you could just replace the sound files with ones you like. . . make sure they are named the same as the originals and ALWAYS backup the originals incase it creates issues

Eckox

How are we supposed to add monster noises, character noises and environment noises when theres nothing to replace the sound with?

I actually prefer less sounds.  Every other game I have played in the past ended up just becoming annoying.  I end up turning my music off as well as sound effects.  But thats just me ;) lol

Same here

After being disappointed by many games sounds i usually end up with sound off after just few hours playing that game so it doesn't really bother me.

OmegaHitman

Same for me i turn the music off but keep the sound effects on low

Klinder

Was about to write a review myself, but i so agree with you.

Havent played it for long but so far i love it, and this days i jump from game to game alot. Mostly 3D games tho.

This game really got me going =)

Mounts, Crafting, In game Bot :O
What else do you need?

Really wish the customization of you char would be better and ofc the sound.

Rather have some music on then the game sound.

Genius

ItsUpItsUp you're back!!!!   Are you gonna play again??

Schilda

need more costumisation(sorry if this spelled wrong..correct me x3) on the characters, I totally agree..
sound? this is one of the key of good games, you can feel the anxiety and stuff through music...

overall i love this game xD but there is always room for improvement

Voltin

I agree that there should be more customizations for a new character, and ALOT of work on the graphics... i dont care much for the music, i think its ok!
