A Cute, Side-Scrolling MMORPG?!? A MapleStory Review by Katie

MapleStory is an awesome MMORPG to get into, especially for beginners. It is a side-scrolling MMORPG (confusing, right?!) but this means that the controls are very easy to use. The game is in a very cute chibi anime-like style, and the enimies are even kinda cute. It is a little pixelated and the actual gameplay doesn't look like the picture or the video, but it still looks adorable nonetheless.

MapleStory's music is very happy but it can get irritating at times so I usually turn the volume down. There is no real story line to this game, you pretty much just level up and walk around the MapleStory world killing things and making yourself look awesome. Once you reach level 8 you can choose to become a Magician, or when you reach level 10 you can become a Bowman (me!), Warrior, Theif or Pirate. You go through the necessary training for your chosen vocation, and then you're ready to join a guild if you desire, and go kick some cute monster butt.


MapleStory is a free download and free to play on http://maplestory.nexon.net/Intro/ but it doesn't work for Mac computers unfortunatly.



Overall, I would recommend you check out this game. If anything, it's free and you can uninstall it if it's not your cup of tea. I play with a group of friends (basically my whole apartment building) which makes it a very fun and social thing to play, so if you're going to play, do it with a group of friends if you can. I know a huge variety of people who love this game, and I'm sure you will, too, so give it a shot!

My question to you is, what is your favorite MMORPG? World of Warcraft, Runescape, Jade Dynasty? Why?
