I really hate to have a bad review of a game. But seriously, if I have to compare the game with the pioneer of 2D side scrolling MMORPG, Maple Story Mesos, Ghost Online is just a me too product of the genre. I still don't have a chance to play Dragon Gem, the other title of this genre. But if this title is not far from it's competitor, they will be dead.

Graphic

Many people said that Ghost Story is better than Maplestory Mesos. But how come? The graphic is not as fresh as Maple Story Mesos. Even the opening and login screen is very plain. And since I have played Maple Story Mesos before, obviously I will compare Ghost to Maple. Including the login screen. One thing that I like about Maple is the fresh color of the environment, and they build it since the login screen. But Ghost failed to give me one.

Also, the character is not as cute as the predecessor of the genre. Wel the theme is about ghost. So I can understand the "dark" environment that they built. But why don't they emphasize the cuteness of their character? They even replace the face emotion with emoticons. When you play Maple, and you express your emotion, it is going to be displayed right away in your character face. And now, in Ghost, they replace it with emoticons! One of the main factor that attract people to play 2D side scrolling MMORPG is because they are CUTE!

I have chosen my character face as a serious type one. But if he want to express a laughing emotion, a paradox scene is what we get. A laughing emoticon with an emotionless face. NOT CUTE at all. Well although at some points the graphic are quite fresh, but overall, they fail to bring us the cute sense. That's what I thought about the graphic.
