Overall Game Rating – 3/5 ok-ok, so-so

This game looks mighty fine from the screenshots that was included in their main site – http://rappelz.gpotato.com/. It looks like a beautiful game and you can even download the trailer from their website!

Game Engine – 5/5
However, I’ve downloaded the game and was not impressed by it. One thing that I should salute was in fact that your machine’s specs don’t need to be top end to play the game. You can actually set what graphics quality you want to play in and in the highest resolution, you get every details such as moving grass, swaying trees and intense details on every object. When I decrease it to medium to low, these objects started to disappear and I can only see a plain terrain. For their game engine I give it a 5/5 – Good Work!

Game Download – 2/5
On the other hand, downloading this game was pretty slow – though I did it in one day with my computer turned on the whole time. The file size was a whooping 1.3 GB. That’s huge! Mighty huge! The thing that turned off my excitement was you’ll need to update the game and their update server is DARN slow! There were files that need to be downloaded and I’m seriously not impressed with their update server. It took me another 6 hours just to update the game – not to forget the difficulty to even connect to their update server. I had to try multiple times before they start updating the game. I’m pretty frustrated, I give u 2/5 – very bad you need to buck up.

Game Play – 2.5/5
Game play was alright you’ll get to choose 3 races and many classes under them and each has their own skills and special abilities. You can choose your character’s face and body features but the clothes are kind of lame as there’s limited choice. And secondly, attacking the monsters is kind of lame as its automatic. All you need to do is select a monster and press the attack key. I prefer Ragnarok Online and RYL attack features compared to Rappelz. You have complete control on how to attack and what to attack and it is real time. But I have to say that the game is kind of laggy. I know, I know – it’s free. But attacking a monster is pretty difficult and this decreases the ‘feel’ of the game. For this I give them 2.5/5 as they did a moderate job.

With all the hype and marketing strategies, I felt that GPotato did an excellent job. But I wouldn’t stick long to this game as the game playability is kind of not so attractive to my tastes. Don’t get me wrong, it’s just me and it’s a fact that there are many people who enjoys this game very much.
