MapleStory

 
    Maplestory is an online multiplayer role-playing game that you download (MMORPG) it's fun for all ages above 10 though most of it's players are in their teenage years. The game is all about killing monsters, collecting items or money to trade. The plot of the story is that theres a non-player character (NPC) that's the leader of these monsters.  
    Playing the game requires doing quests to go up in levels they're mostly a NPC assigned quest such as look for scroll,monster artifact and etc.That's very commonly the type of quest though sometimes if you can find a a partner or group that is maximum of up to 6 this is called a party. You can only create one if your +lv.10 where you are put in a map with monsters leading up to a boss monster.Also a party leader and its members all have to be around 50 levels near each other. As well as an expedition is a larger type where you have to be a +lv.50 because the boss monster is harder to kill.
     Trading is when you gather things like scrolls (which improve characters items they were, or transport) or equipment, and even money and trade with another player.You can get it by buying from an NPC or killing a monster and it dropping it when it dies. Trading is a big part of maplestory.
     The high points of maplestory is that it's a fun child friendly game with a plot and lots of player to player interaction. You can befriend people online and it is totally free and you can train your character to up to level 100-200 which is a lot of time and fun to be had. Also it's in fact interesting and fun it sucks you in and you won't want to leave. 

   You can find the website at http://maplestory.nexon.net/ 

     The low points are that while the game is usually glitch free they might have to do patchs sometimes(when the server has to fix glitches in game) also while the game is free you can buy special equipment and such off of the website and while that's common in games maplestorys only last 90 days which after people want to buy it again. 

These are typical 'Monsters'

      Maplestory had very good graphic quality and some background music. The content of the story was basically to go after boss' which were the upper minions of the black mage which was the protagonist of the plot of Maplestory which in it was called Maple word. To play the game you use the keyboard and steadily go from killing higher boss' as you get to higher level which is the basic purpose of the game as well as going on partys and doing quests.
      So in conclusion MapleStory is a good game that most teenagers could play for hours. Which on the plus side which has a very well written plot and fun to play. For the cons it has all the usual hackers and frequently has glitches. But overall it's a good game so I would give it a 4.5 out of 5.
