Mu Online News & Events & Guides

Mu Online is a 3D MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Role-playing game) developed by Webzen. It is set in medevial times, and you may choose from three classes: Dark Knight, Dark Wizard, and Elf. You may also create a Magic Gladiator, a mix between a Dark Knight and a Dark Wizard, but you must get a character to level 220 before you can have access to him. There is no character creation system, every class member looks the same. You control your character with your mouse, and use the "Q", "W", and "E" keys for shortcuts in the use of items (health and mana potions, etc.). Now, on to the review.....

Mu online zen has excellent 3D graphics for a MMORPG of its kind. It has very detailed character models, and (for the most part) good background scenery. The buildings in Mu are well-textured and very solid looking up close. The backgrounds have some very cool ambient effects, such as grass swaying in the breeze. All the monsters are well animated, and some are breath-taking. The spell effects are excellent (especially the Dark Wizard's lightning spell), usually very well animated and beautiful. Combat styles are usually very entertaining to watch, although some are pretty stupid. Overall, Mu's graphics deserve 8/10, because although they are good for the most part, some of the smaller things (such as chairs) look kind of sloppy. 

Mu's sound is extremely annoying. I couldn't get the BGMs (Background Music) to work, and even if I had I don't think they would have helped much. The monster's screechings and wailings are absolutely the most annoying stuff I've heard in a game. You try and play a whole day with budge dragons, hounds, and liches screaming at the top of their lungs. It almost drove me insane, so I rarely had the speakers on while I played Mu. The weapon sound effects are decen though, as are your footsteps. Mu's sound gets a 5/10 because although the monster sound effects are loud and annoying, the rest is pretty decent.
