Website Review: Poptropica

18 09 2008

I will review the popular MORPG, Poptropica.

Graphics: The style is quite nice, and there are very many outfits. The building and other things fit in with the characters nicely. Could be improved by being replaced with photo shop graphics.. :) 8.5/10

Sounds: I can’t really review this part. There isn’t any sound at all… :( No sound effects, no background music… Could have been worse though… There were no sounds at all.. 0/0 I guess…

Gameplay: Very fun to play, but its very easy. Players take control of their character and choose from one of 6 islands, Early Poptropica, Shark Tooth, Time Twisted, 24 Carrot, Super Power and Spy. The game is controlled nicely- you click left mouse and you move the direction your mouse is pointing (cursor is replaced with an arrow.) , if your mouse is above your character when you press it you will jump. This control is different, but I like it. Though the game is very easy, it is very fun. 8.6/10

Replay Value: The first two islands take about twenty minutes to beat each. The last four islands take about an hour and twenty minutes. So about 6 hours to beat if you play it straight. Not that great, and no reason for me to want to play the islands again. (though on their blog they say they are making two new islands.) But there is something good about the replay value. The multiplayer mode- you play against people in a bunch of minigames, trying to get your skill to go up. Its fun to do this- and doesn’t get repetitive fast. I have 3 and a half stars, it takes a while to get that high. So I give the replay value a 7.5/10

Overall- 8/10. Pretty good game. You can play it at
