After a while I just muted the game and switched to my personal music player, only because things got a little repetitive. Another feature I loved was the character classes. Some of them are generic, but the possibilities of each class are endless. I loved trying a few characters out, wizards being my favorite due to their elements. I have yet to see a more extensive mage class in a sidescroller- I was impressed. The controls however, I highly disliked. I logged into the game expecting a fast paced sidescroller ala MapleStory… big mistake. The game is actually somewhat slow paced, at least in the early stages in the game. I found it difficult to run and jump at the same time, and running alone was a challenge in itself. My character walked too slowly for my taste. This also made grinding much more difficult for me, and I discovered that there was a lot of grinding in this game despite the quests. On a much happier note, my all-time favorite aspect of LaTale is the customization value of the game. You can be truly unique in this game without having to completely cash out. It was an awesome bonus for me as I love to be unique in MMORPGS. Anyway, if you’re into 2D sidescrollers, you cannot pass this game up. Some may be turned off by the slow combat as I was, though the game in its entity is really great. It is loaded with features and the community isn’t nearly as bad as it was in the previous beta stages. If you don’t mind a little grinding, I highly recommend you give this one a shot!
