Sword of the New World-Granada Espada Review
I haven't played many MMORPGs, most notably Guild Wars and some of the other lesser ones. I liked the idea of them, but was put off by the slow based combat, taking forever for my character to kill off a mob of enemies. Not to mention the whole monthly fee aspect.
Since this is free now, I gave it a whirl and was hooked. Instead of controlling only 1 character, you control 3 at a time (you can have up to 45 characters). And most enemies you fight die in one or two hits. The catch is, there are dozens of them, sometimes hundreds. It's really like John Woo made a MMORPG. You can even equip some characters with two pistols.
The graphics are stunning, maybe not the best anymore, but it rivals any that came out in 2006. And it runs well, I can max out settings at 1440x900 on my 3 year old computer. It's also got a unique art style, sort of Regency-Victorian-ish.
It's got its problems, though. Like a lot of Korean RPGs, it's grind heavy. There aren't a whole lot of quests in it. And there's not much in the way of visual customization of your characters. Still, it's a lot of fun.
Since it's free now, why should you buy this? Well, for one, the game is rather large (3.7 gigabytes or so) so it saves a big download, and if you buy the retail box, you get 100,000 in game currency, 1000 cash shop gold (which is how they make money these days) and a UPC, which is a playable version of an NPC.
