Everyone knows how many MMORPGs are currently alive and running… But Club Penguin puts a slight twist to their game (owned by Disney) which mainly consists of no actual aim to anything with some random mini games which get you coins that you can spend on hardly anything. This pretty much sums up… Club Penguin!!!
The game does, to be fair, have a marvellous happy appearance with a bright baby blue ocean and a slight darker blue background with white fluffy clouds, rainbows, gems and of course Penguins! This is another advantage to the game, it is about penguins. Everything which is related to penguins… has to have at least a certain level of respect.
However as ye progress slightly further into the game you notice how servers can take up to 5 minutes to load, with some not even loading at all! Naturally the more people populating the server the longer it will take to load but I tested out 20 (7 of which has only ‘2 bars’ of population filled and 4 of them took at least 3 minutes) and the result was that only 6 of those servers loaded within 30 seconds.
Naturally, this game is aimed towards the younger (maybe 5-10) generation but nonetheless even those age ranges would not find this game fun for very long. When a server finally loaded up I was bombarded by awful quality of disgusting music which cannot be permanently muted! This extremely annoyed me as I sat for a minute or two waiting for the options to load up so I could click the ‘mute music’ button, knowing that next time I was to logon I would be faced with the same horrible experience.
Of course, the players of Club Penguin are all young… so they should all be sweet, pleasant and innocent… right?
“you go out with me?†“no your ugly†“Kâ€
Or not… Actually, the players on Club Penguin are worse behaved then a really bad loser at poker. Yes that is how bad they were!
The content is not any better, yes they keep adding more but it’s all the EXACT same!
“Here look, We have more items which are the exact same as the others in a different colour for you to buy now! Go earn some more coins before they disappear and we introduce the same item in ANOTHER colour!!!â€
An old advantage of the game was the secret of the Club Penguins version of the FBI called “Secret Agent Base†which you could only join through a series of hidden clues around the game, this provided some entertainment but however was ruined when it was announced to every player exactly how to get to it and made easier to find also. HOWEVER! Club Penguin offers you a camera to take photos on your world-wide experience and this also puts its rank up severely!
I’m not saying this game is terrible, but it just isn’t up to standards and rips you off with money whenever it can, it just needs something to Break The Ice!!! Club Penguin is, in my opinion, not good enough to be counted as an MMORPG. Perhaps we should count it as a CMMORPG (Childish Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game) but that doesn’t have the same ring to it does it? No I don’t think so. So let’s all leave Club Penguin alone to the little kids who find thrill in sitting in a badly animated coffee shop. And who can blame them? How I wish I was a child again eh?
