    5 Stars One you started, you won't stop Review with images 18/08/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Durability

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can't Think

    Runescape One you started, you won't stop I have been playing runescape for around 1 year now and I have really enjoyed it. I first noticed this game when my friend was playing it .it really intrigued me and I knew when I got home that I was going to play this myself. I have been playing for a year and now I am level 93 and I have worked really hard for this. It takes a lot of time and effort to be a successful player on runescape. Many of my friends have got a runescape account, it is getting more and more well known by the day. Once I had my account I found myself playing this for hours on ... more

    4 Stars RuneScape, my new fantastical addiction! Diamond review Review with images 30/06/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Can keep me hooked for ages...

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Where do all the hours go?

    Between lessons at school I'd often sit with some friends in the computer room, trying out java games, shooting games, even a Mafia role play once. I'm glad I didn't discover this game til recently otherwise I'd never have gone to lessons ever again! It's main charm is the freedom you have to roam the fantasy world, fighting goblins, getting money, doing quests and building up you're character's skills on the way. It is SO satisfying to have the little flourish of music and sparks over your head that mean you have advanced a cooking level, fighting level or metal crafting level. What you do in ... more

    5 Stars Where have my knights gone? 29/06/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free online gaming

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very addictive - could cause loss of sleep

    I've been playing Runescape for quite some time now ... probably 10 months or so. I have played computer games for the last 23 years, ever since I had my first computer. Nothing could have prepared me for this game however. I still can't quite work out why I am so addicted to this game. It must be a combination of curiousity mixed with freedom to do what you want combined with the fact that you are playing amongst thousands of other players. If you have ever played games like Diablo by Blizzard then you will already have a certain recognition of this type of game. The difference being the ... more

    5 Stars MMORPG that wont break the bank! 07/12/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Massively Multiplayer, Free to Play

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be repetative, full of immaturity

    If you're a gamer theres no doubt you've heard of these big name games: Everquest, Ultima Online, Guild Wars, City of Heroes... they all promise Multiplayer Online gaming with thousands upon thousands of other players. What they dont tell you (at least not to start) is that alongside paying upwards of £30 for the game you must also fork out anything from £12-£20 each month just to continue playing! The problem is the premise is attractive isnt it, who doesnt want to indulge in a bit of alter-ego creating and progress to become the best of the best in an online world. Compettetively playing to ... more

    5 Stars RuneScape - The Massive Online Adventure Game 25/09/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fun, useful for fighting boredom!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Immaturity

    RuneScape - The Massive Online Adventure Game Generally I don't have a problem with game addiction and there are very few games that have actually eaten away at my hour's without including 'Halo' but I feel RuneScape have really succeeded into making there game an MMORPG (Massively Multi-playing Online Role Playing Game) the game not only has the 'helping newbie' factor so that people playing by them selves can understand the game it also has one of the biggest variation I've ever seen in a game, skills to level, quests to complete and ego's to build RuneScape has it all. The players of ... more

    3 Stars RuneScape (PC) 28/12/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, addictive RPG entertainment with a vast world to explore.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Weak sound and visuals detract from the experience somewhat

    RuneScape is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) that was initially released in 2001, and is the creation of British development studio Jagex. The setting of RuneScape clearly draws inspiration from a number of different places, most notably medieval England. However, this is combined with a clear element of fantasy; the player must battle great sorcerers and slay mighty mythical creatures such as dragons and giants. Such an open and flexible setting really works to the game’s advantage, allowing the developers to play around with the story and concept to great effect ... more

    4 Stars A great online adventure 17/02/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great fun, easy to play and lots of things to do

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No aim to the game

    This is probably an unusual choice for me as I do not play role playing games very often but I came across this on a online free play games site called www.miniclip.co.uk when trying to find some online children’s games in the school holiday and unfortunately became slightly addicted. ~What is Runescape~ Runescape is a 3D online environment, a world full of wizards, goblins, and imps. You design your own character and complete quests and skills to make the character stronger in order to be able to take on more powerful monsters and receive greater rewards. All the other characters that you ... more

    5 Stars Swords and Sorcery for the masses 10/07/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages An immense game that is growing all the time

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The number of players can be annoying when training in popular areas

    As a Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game (MMORPG), Runescape seems to have few equals in addictiveness, value or popularity with a playing community regularly numbering over 100,000 online. To explain Runescape in its entirity would take more time than most people are willing to read an op for, therefore I will explain as much as possible whilst only touchijng briefly on most aspects of the game. Signup and Character Creation: Signing up for the game is simplicity itself, the main personal information Jagex (the owners of the Runescape game) require is your age, after which you ... more

    I first spotted Runescape when i was at a friends house, i watched him play it for a while and found it very interesting, so the next time i had spare time i switched on my pc and started runescape.
