Mir2 review: the Godfather of MMOs
Have you heard Mir2 gold? "Mir2: The Legend continues" is a classic MMORPG with outstanding credentials. The game runs on the traditional isometric bird's eye view system much like other ancient role playing games. Although you may think that this is just another fossil that is ready to hit the tomb, I would like to say that there is more to this game than meets the eye. Despite the presence of its descendant, the game still appeals to most people. Exactly how good is a game for people to keep playing it even after the arrival of its own sequel? Elitism? Fanboy-ism? Or is the game really that good? It is rather puzzling to know that unlike console games, the new releases do not necessarily require people to play their predecessors for them to understand the game's plot and etc. Will the game shower me with disappointments, or is it really as good as they said it was? Let us take a peek shall we?
And you thought this would have been easy by now
Other than the visuals, one of the first things that caught my attention was the controls. Being the modern day gamer than I am, I placed my hand over my keyboard thinking it somehow shares today's MMO controls. I guess I was wrong, as I then found myself stuck on a clicking fest. Yes, it turns out that the graphics were not the only that was outdated. The game immerses you in a world of scrolling and clicking. This would have been bearable back then, but we are not exactly living in that kind of world right now. Still, it was rather amusing how it took me back to the old days when the mouse was the only thing that separates you from certain death. Yes, the game has PVP but the thought of you randomly clicking on opponents would only come down on to who hits harder or who has more potions.
