MMORPG News - Maple Story Review @ RPG Vault

RPG Vault takes a quick look at MapleStory.

The game is highly accessible, with a solid tutorial, a gentle learning curve, easily understood systems for attributes and advancement, and undemanding hardware requirements. The art direction is charmingly familiar, with a large, colorful, platform-style world containing varied locations to explore plus a diverse range of monsters to fight. There are lots of quests, which allows for a continuous sense of direction and purpose, and helps to support short play sessions. The four base character classes, called jobs, are Warrior, Magician, Bowman and Thief. They reflect the most popular play styles, and each offers either two or three possible specializations. If you decide to shop, you'll find the virtual shelves stocked with many different choices.
