"An underrated game."

Nowadays, everyone plays World of Warcraft. But the thing is, no one ever tests all the online games. They just automatically assume the best game is the most popular one. And their excuse is "If it was so rubbish, why does every play it?" Heres your answer - because they haven't played any other games before. This game, or PSO BB for short, in my opinion, definitely beats most MMORPGS out there. Now let's see... it's free to download and only costs £5.99 per month. A good deal in my books.

What is it like?
It's a MMORPG with fixed maps rather than "Explore wherever you want". You level up, kill monsters, and get better equipment. Maximum level is 200, so it will keep you on your toes for about 1000 hours at least. That is, if you don't get bored.

Graphics: 7/10

In the end, I'd have to say it is so so. Nothing too earthshaking, but enough to keep you playing. There are almost 1000 weapons at your disposal. Many of them legendary, meaning only one or two in the whole game will have them. Many weapons are player based, meaning the weapon will not bind itself to the user until he has killed 10,000 monsters with that blade in the unreleased form. Quite interesting and different to most games.

Gameplay: 10/10

This game is not turn based fighting. I even consider World of Warcraft turn based fighting. In this game, theres no auto attack. Every click is every attack. This way, it keeps you focused on the game at all times. You either love it or hate it. Simple as that.

Sound: 7/10

Average to say the most. Just the usual environmental music, with some fast beating whilst you are dueling a boss. Enough to keep you listening but not enough to keep you humming.

Lag: 10/10

No lag, perfection with little flaws.

Community: 8/10

Not bad, better than most out there believe it or not. Find yourself a good Team, and consider yourself "In".

Overall: 9/10 (Not an average)

I don't take averages, because some parts are more important than others. If anything, it's gameplay that boosts this game to the 9/10 it deserves. Sonic Team, mission complete!

Pros:
*LOADS of weapons
*Balanced classes
*Good gameplay
*Little Lag

Cons
*Graphics could be improved
*Gets repetitive later
