I don't know a thing about this game except that, if you're quick enough, you can get a closed beta invite from Fileplanet if you are subscribed. Here's the game. |

There was a time when even the ugliest of games wouldn't drop below my radar. I do not wish to go back to that.

Is it ugly? I hadn't even noticed. Maybe I'll dl it and look.
-OR-
Maybe not.

Id like to tell you if its ugly or not. However, someone appears to have placed WoW screenshots on the web page instead of this game (which I initially misread as legend of arse, although you would have to be British to follow that really) so its difficult to judge. |

The spelling sometimes confuses people. Well, in my experience anyway. Back to the game, some parts look like dungeon crawling in a neverwinter nights style, although I was being facetious about the screenshots before, to say they have taken inspiration for the graphical style from Blizzard is an understatement. Dick van dyke would understand it, how he pronounced it would be anyones guess though  |

I have to say, I get more google returns from Arsenal Football than I do for arse... about twice as many. ARS beats them all, however. Probably because people would rather read about plants than look at some footballer's great white arse.
Have I stopped making sense yet?

This latest avatar choice made sense to me, boobies are the universal language.

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.

Things are getting out of hand amongst the Arabic nations... um... maybe a better choice of names? or a little more immediate clarity to a first time (uninterested) reader about how you are blending RL myths and your gameworld. Or not. Your choice.  |

Hmmm..looked it over.
They stole their PvP from WoW.
They modified the guildwars price scheme, free game, you pay to get good items for your character. Sounds like a combination between Guildwars and the old EQ legends server.
The graphics look dated though semi-artistic.
Pass.

How can you all miss the real money in that sentence?! Bapomatt, the king of fairies is a monster with the shape of a gigantic goat. Rides a goat which is more gigantic than itself and has a cane in one arm which contains all the magics. A goat riding an even bigger goat holding a cane that contains ALL THE MAGICS. ALL of THE MAGICS. Not just some. Not just a little. ALL OF THEM. There's no magic in the game until someone gets level 95 and defeats the dreaded Bapomatt. All joking aside, why don't these companies, like ya know, HIRE ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLES TO EDIT THEIR SHIT? ... I like this one more than Bapomatt... Manticore which has a tail of a big scorpion and the body of a lion.
No one can endure that poison. No one can endure that poison. That is awesome and uhm, I'm stealing it. |

AHHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
I just logged in Legend of Ares.
And the only think I can't stop doing is laughing.
It's more like an april fool than an actual mmo :)
I wonder if I should resist the urge of wiping it from my hard disk and see if there's actually something beyond the horrible look.

Too obvious. Too low-brow. Must refrain from saying what everyone is thinking...

Ok, my review based on 7 seconds of actual gameplay.
It's like the baby son of the Mu Online graphic Dev joined the li'l daughter of the Ragnarok lead designer for their 5th grade mmo design project.
No no.

I can't even get into the darn thing. The "start" button doesn't work even though I'm using IE (blah) on their site. I'm not fussed about it.  |

Yes, Signe. Took a while for me too to get it working.
First I had to disable any popup blocker. Then I had to let IE (Firefox didn't the trick) install some obscure activeX.
After that I had to re-log as it decided I wasn't logged in.
Then some pathces were (slowly) downloaded and applied.
Finally I was able to hit START GAME and.. oh.. back to log in webpage.
Rinse, repeat.. ERROR # (insert unknown asian characters).
Close the error dialog, select windowed mode from the options, and the *game* finally started.
It didn't last long, though.

That monster database is priceless. I can't wait to try this. Every time I get into a crappy MMO beta I have FilePlanet to thank for saving me from actually buying it.
