Adventure Quest

Most quests have a decent storyline and often very humorous. "Humor" is sometimes cheesy. Some concepts are really hard to understand unless you're a die-hard fantasy fan (which I'm not). Lore that you're expected to know and 9 times out of 10, you don't know anything about it.

Fluctuating graphics quality. Some things look really well made; other things, such as creatures, weapons, armor, etc., look like crap and could have easily been made on MS Paint. Boring cutscenes. For the most part it's always just an exchange of dialogue and maybe a little bit of movement. On the rare occasion something might happen to catch your attention.

Excellent variety of weapons, armor, spells, etc and plenty of unique monsters. The biggest problem being combat- that's basically all the game is and even it often isn't very entertaining. If you don't like the idea of fighting a monster every time you turn around, then you won't like this game at all. Boring combat. It might look cool at first, but that'...

THE GOOD:
-Many different Weapons to chose from, including types such as Melee, Ranged, or Magic
-A good variety of Spells to chose from
-Over 700 monsters to battle
-The Game is constantly updating
-Several Stories going on at once
-Never run out of things to do
-You can own a house
-Several characters with good humor
-Great 2D Graphics
-Turn based
-It's completely Free, unless you want access to everything
-Special benefits to those who pay $20.00 to become a Guardian

THE BAD:
-No Player Versus Player capabilities
-No walking around
-You have to buy your rewards after completing a quest
-Gold takes a long time to earn
-Server Cap. If you're a free player, you may not be able to log in at times.

SUMMARY:
Adventure Quest is another one of those solid Web RPG's. This time, all you need is a web browser and the latest version of Flash Player. It's completely Free and still provides many areas of Exploration. For those who pay the $20.00, countless other things are unlocked. It's a good free game, but you...

THE GOOD:
For a 2D RPG this is a surprisingly good game. The graphics are nice and smooth and you have the option of playing it on low, medium, or high graphics, which most sites won't do for you. Even for a turn-base game, the fights move quickly. And it's easy to get surprised by a new opponent coming out of nowhere. The weapons are cool, the extras are fun and the quests are epic. This game is definitely one to play.

THE BAD:
This, like most sites, allows for free accounts and free play. But to get the most out of the game you have to pay. Even with a free account you can still travel most of the map, participate in the wars, join a clan etc. But you can't enter the guardian tower and you can't get quite a few high level items. Plus there is a server for free accounts. This server is limited to how many people can play on it at a time. With a free account you might get stuck refreshing for a few hours just to get in the game. Since out of 10,000 people, 9,000 could be gu...

THE GOOD:
Well first off it's an RPG, an online RPG at that, it is surprisingly addictive even for a 17 year old like me. I have been playing for a while now and have been witness to what seems like an endless amount of updates, the Artix Entertainment team are truly hard working, creating more equipment and monsters every weak, (X-)Guardians get even more benefits, apart from getting a nice array of extra weapons, shields, armour etc, we get more quests and fun things to do! The graphics are amazing considering it is a Flash Animation product, the amount of time and effort that has been put into scripting this masterpiece is incredible! What used to be a Lunch-break game has seriously evolved into an ever-expanding quality game! Don't miss out RPGers!

THE BAD:
No game is perfect. Although Adventure Quest is good fun and admittedly addictive, it's limited in lifespan. How you ask? Well even though there are plenty of quests and things to buy and do, the monsters... can become, repetiti...

THE GOOD:
Not very taxing on a dial up connection, good variety of equipment, and is humorous.

Can't interact with players during game.

THE BAD:
gets tedious too quickly, (X) guardian ship fee, small servers, can't hold enough equipment, you pay for stuff you win in quests.

Can't interact with players during game.

SUMMARY:
Adventure Quest is an online rpg where you create your own character and participate in battles.

New users get 3 free play throughs and get to see a small part of the game, after this the servers are usually too full to play. after that you can pay a fee of $14.95 and get unlimited access

The game is played through turn based battles, which is actually fun if you play it only for a short time period however you feel no sense of progress and it gets very tedious, sadly this is one of the game's biggest weak points and drags it down because it's a core element.

The humor may evoke a chuckle at times, and some of the situations are truely funny, but this is unfortunately, a ...

THE GOOD:

Beautifully-drawn Graphics

Large community of AQ fans

Lots of secrets to uncover

500+ monsters to fight

Regular game updates and events

Variety of quests

Unlimited Access for Guardians

THE BAD:

Guardianship Fee

Always full servers

Pay gold to raise stats

No interaction with other players

SUMMARY:
First Impressions
Adventure Quest is a fun Fantasy RPG game that you can play in your browser. Although, you play it online there is no possibility to interact with the other players in game.

Graphics
If you are one of those people who like stunning effects and realistic graphic engines then this game is not for you. Everything in this game looks simple. Yet the graphics are a mixture of beautiful art and flash animation. The advantage of such games is that you don't need an expensive PC to play. All you need to play AQ is a browser like Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox and a fairly new version of the macromedia flash player.


Gameplay
One of the best things in AQ in my opinion is the humour they...

THE GOOD:
Loads of monsters.
Great variety.
Loads of things to do.
So *bleep*ing fun.
Amazingly fun.
Good graphics.

THE BAD:
Only one thing - the server is too small, you can only get 5000-6000 free players on at a time.

SUMMARY:
This is a great game, even without guardianship(paying). You should play this game even if you don't want to give a one-time donation of $14.95 (£8.50). A load of my friends, play this game, and they all say it is amazing as well. If you don't believe any of us people, you have to play it yourself. But remember, make sure you have a couple of hours spare on your hands, you will need it. If you become a guardian, you double the amount of fun you can have, because as well as logging on whenever you want, you have extras such as different towns, extra weapons, the guardian town, and much more accessability and chance to have fun.

THE GOOD:
Sick Graphics, Fun,Funny and all togather a great game to keep u occupied.

THE BAD:
Nothhin!

SUMMARY:
Best game ever mad. All those punks who play runescape are nerds but this is a totaly sick game, You Should Check it out. Also The Game had humour and you would always read the profiles and check if it was funny. They also update the game everyday so everyday you have somthing new at your fingertips. I would litterly wake up at 5:00 Am to play adventure quest. IT is perfect in so many ways. If you want to become a guardian you realy should and adds many more new things and just makes the game even more fun to play. All in all i give it 9.5/10. Also The game always has somthing diffrent to fight i eman theyres more the 450 monsters. EVeryday i fight somthing new and everyday i do a diffrent quest and find a diffrent type of sword. I tell you, You get so exited when you find somthing good in that game. I say Play dis game till u drop because trust me, Adventure Quest will blow yo...
