I wrote a review about the game Archlord, maybe this will be helpful to our members who wanna be one of our previewers/reviewers.

Developer: NHN Games
Genre: Fantasy
Status: Beta Testing (est. release Q3 2006)
Official Site: www.archlordgame.com

Minimum requirement:
CPU: Pentium III 800Mhz or above
Video card: Geforce 3 2M RAM equivalent or above.
RAM: 256MB or better
Had drive: 4Gb of hard drive space
Software: DirectX9.0c or higher

Recommended requirement:
CPU: Pentium IV 1.2G or above 1.4
Video card: GeForce FX5700, Radeon 9600 or above
RAM: 512MB or more
Hard drive: 4Gb of hard drive space
Software: Directx 9.0C or higher

Graphics: 8.5

Based on Randerware Graphics Engine, the Archlord game world presents fantastic graphics. The architectures in Archlord look like that in Lineage 2, but more magnificent and glorious. Take Elf’s main city for example. The whole city has a unique style. It is divided into two parts – airspace and land, which are connected by a curved bridge. Embarking the sky castle after crossing the long bridge, you can have a phantastic view of the city.

Sound: 9
The developer spared no efforts in music production. All the 30-plus pieces of background music are performed by London Symphony Orchestra and the background music for every city and leveling up place is different from each other. Character’s footstep, hubbub, fighting, etc. are so vivid, making you feel like you are in the game. NPC will utter different sounds and the character’s actions are accompanied by different sounds.

Community: 8.5
The chat system in AC is decent but not outstanding. It includes ordinary chat, party chat, guild chat, whisper and shouting.

When a character reaches level 20, he/she can go to guild NPC and create a guild, requiring nothing else.

The party system must be a highlight of Archlord. Type "/pin name" in the chat box, and you can for a party freely no matter where the party member is. Archlord has an effect bonus setting. If the leader is a mage, party member can get additional 60 MP and HP bonus; if the party is led by a Berserker, party member can obtain 5 additional attack bonus; if a ranger is the leader, party member can obtain additional 5 defense bonus. In addition, when you are in a party, the items dropped from the monsters you kill will be picked up automatically for you.

Gameplay: 8
There are three races and eight different classes we can choose from -- Humans have Archer, Knight and Mage, Orcs have Berserker, Hunter and Sorcerer and players may also choose to play as a Moon Elf Ranger or Elementalist. Each class has its special initial skills and passive skills, but there is a level limitation for learning skills. Players can use different kinds of skills through the weapons belonged to different classes. In addition, players can select different faces and hairstyles freely.

AC has a huge quest system. You can get various kinds of quests from any NPC who carries "!" over his head. The quest rewards include money, experience, weapons, various kinds of upgrading stones, etc.

Besides ordinary trading, AC has also introduced auction system and long-distance trading system. The auction system is similar to that in WOW, where players can see all items that are auctioning, which is quite convenient. In addition, if a player is in a party, he can do long-distance trading with his party members. Click the party member status box in the upper left corner to “user menu”

When a character's level is higher than 6, PK is available. The game world is divided into safe zone where PK is forbidden and free PK zone. The player will receive PK points and be penalized correspondingly if he kills lower-level characters. PK points can be washed off, but at a high price. Generally speaking, the PK punishment in AC is severe.

Upon level 35, the player can buy a mount from NPC. Each race has its special mounts. The player can increase his moving speed dramatically by riding a mount. Equipping knight weapon will enable the player to produce high damage. One thing that I need to say is when riding on a mount, the character will have no additional attribute available. In addition, the mount also has its durability and it has to rest.

Overall: 8.5

Overall, Archlord has quite some highlights. Each race has its unique equipments which are eye-catching. The weapons embedded with different stones will give off different kinds of light. The effect of magic skills in AC is even more dazzling lustrous, particularly, mage’s magic will feast your eyes. Besides, its diversified quests will also attract players’ eyeballs. Among so many Korean games, Archlord is undoubtedly one with outstanding performance. In addition, the strength of its publisher Codemasters can’t be ignored. Believe this win-win cooperation will make AC an MMOG really worth anticipating.

Title: Online Cream of Fantasies

Game Title: Final Fnatasy 11
Genre: MMORPG
Status: Final
Developer: SQUARE ENIX
Publisher: SQUARE ENIX

Official website: www.playonline.com/ff11us/
Client size: None, you have to buy.
Client download: "

System requirements
CPU: Pentium 3 800MHZ
RAM: 128MB
Video card: Nvidia GeForce or ATI Raedon 9200 Series 32MB
Hard disk space occupied: 5-9GB (Depending on Expansions
Speed: 4X CD-ROM Drive. (Installation Only)

Comparison: Well, it's P2P so yo can't comapre it to a free game (Graphical and Features side) But many say that WoW and FF11 are both well known for graphics and gameplay. It resembles a bit of RYL too. The possibilties in FF11 will never be beaten. If you want a real action game, where all you do is bashing, RYL is for you. I you want a vast world with quests and meet characters that are stunning with beautiful graphics, WoW is for you. If you want that and even more, FF11 is for you!


First impression:

Graphics 9
When I played the PS2 Version, i wasn't that amased. But for PC it's a whole different thing. This game dosn't require much juice out of your computer. So it's very fluid even if it has very good graphics. In fact, they are some of the best i've seen in an Online game. You can see details everywhere, even in the eyes, hair and clothes of you character. Very impressive.
Sound 9
Love it. All your favorite Final Fantasy songs are probably in it. You can even hear the Victory Dance when you level up which i find quite cool. Sounds of the skills are very very good and always match very well. Walking steps, monster cries, monster steps, rain, ships, there is lots of sounds in this game, icould go on and on!
Gameplay 10
Wow! Amazing! Stunning! This game has the best gameplay ever seen yet. Fish, cook, hunt, do anything you like! There are som many different possibilities tomake tour character! More than 12 different classes like: Corsair, Puppeteer, Black Mage, Dark Knight, Paladin, Warrioir, Monk, White Mage, Blue Mage, Red Mage, etc... You can even be a summoner and summon your favorite Final Fantasy Summons!! (Ifrit, Shiva, Carbuncle. etc) Multiclass your character! Have as many as you want and you can use 2 classes at the same time! Ex: Monk level 22 + Black Mage level 11. (Mixes the skills) Deep storyline and easy to understand basic features. If you really want toplay this game hard you need to buy the Guide. It tells how to make Macros, and helps you know the game features that you can't really know yourself. It just has so many! For a FF game it's worth the price. its 29.99 for the game and 3 expansions (Online) and when you play it's 12.50 a month for 1st character, then 1.50 for additional characters. Controls are really easy and if you are an MMO or FF Fan, you have to play this.
Community 10
You won't get bored of it, user friendly community, great partying, Linkshells (Kind of guild or chatguild i should say) Chinese, French and English mostly. Lots of people. But everything is good and everyone gets along very well.
Value 9
Well you can't get bored, because theres always something new to do. IF you tired of level, you can visit your mog house, if your tires of that, you can go fish, tired of that? Explore, you'll be out adventure for years. If you don't like that you can quest. Don't like questing? Go chat on linkshell! Wanna trade? Go to auctions! If tired of all that, change class and start over! Just saying that you can't really get bored since there's so much to do.
Unique features (additional points):
Well I kind of said it all along the review! Like Fishing, the Linkshell, classchanging, hunting and all that!! It's really huge. Probably the biggest game ever made yet. Or at least one of them. If you don't remember the features.. Read the review again! Just Kidding.
Screenshots:

[/URL]

NOTE: The screenie seems to be low quality

Personal rating: It needs a 9.5 Seriously, great game.
Overall rating: 9.4. As I said, it's a very good game.

Please give me feedback, I wish to join the Review team.


Almost forgot!
Im all winded upin Final Fantasy but here's my PI!

Name: Eric
Location: Canada, Quebec
Age: 17
Have been playing online games since I was 11.
Games played. All of the bigger names.. To FF11 to Counter-Strike, to WarRock... Travia, Gunz, Kal, Flyff, Pirate King, Monato Esprit, RAN, RYL, Trickster, Gunster, Nostale... I could name so many...

Review: A review, is a long opinion about all the game's physics and feautures, wether they're bad are good.
(Review aren't all about Games, but in my world they would be)

And if i everjoin the team, of course i'd do the best to keep at the top,to impress people with my reviewing skill I'd stay till i'd have no more games to play. Meaning that i'd never quit.

Thanks Eric
