Reviewed by Lord Rein

Metin2 may not be as well known as some of the other free to play MMORPGs, but it is entertaining and has some of the best combat I've yet seen. When creating a character you must first select one of the three factions, but it won't have any effect on your starting location so don't worry too much about it. Next you must choose from one of the four classes: Warrior, Mage, Asassin, or Sura. The only class here that should throw off a RPG vet is the Sura which is basically a Mage / Melee hybrid in Metin2. Like so many other MMOs, character customization is severely lacking. Characters can be male or female and each have two different clothing sets.

There is no face, body or even hair customization. Even equipped shields and other armor won't effect your character appearance, which dulls the game. Metin2 starts you out in a field surrounded by packs of dogs. Your first instinct may be to attack these animals, but be sure to equip the weapon in your inventory first. Once you start swinging at the dogs, the ease and fluidity of Metin2's combat will sink in. As your character swings his weapon, multiple enemies in front of you will be struck and be tossed backwards. This fast paced multi-target cleaving combat style makes for some fun game play and the auto-loot feature means you won't waste time after each kill picking up gold. Unfortunately, the game's quest system is a bit broken.

The kill quests will instruct you to kill 2 or 4 monsters at a time and sometimes the kills won't register so you'll be stuck with a dead quest. At level 5 you may specialize your class further. For example, the warrior can specialize in defensive or offensive styles. The mid and end game features in Metin2 include the factional PvP system where each side elects a king to lead them in the never ending war between the three countries. Individual guilds can pool their money to purchase fancy guild forts while higher level characters can own mounts. Overall, Metin2's best feature is its combat but the rest of the game is lacking. My recommendation is give Metin2 a try and see if the combat can hold your interest until the end game PvP experience.
