    This game doesn't really live up to it's name, it's about as free as Wizard101. You can play for about five minutes and then you have to pay a monthly membership. This game is completely loaded with DLC it's not even funny. I bought the "lifetime membership" which is really buying the full game, and the game still isn't anything near what else you get get with the money.

    As a burnt-out veteran MMORPG player, I'm enjoying the hell out of this title. Do yourself a favor and check it out. It may be a bit rough around the edges, but there is so much to see and do, it should keep you entertained for a long time.

    SOE has placed a surprisingly large and engaging MMO online free to play. Although it obviously targets the 9 to 14 age bracket, I found myself logging in again and again. Try it. And if you have kids, this is a must-play.

    Fun, entertaining, no matter what age I promise you'll like it. So much to do, it's a little hard to get bored. Money and long wait updates are annoying, but, at least give it a try.

    Put me in the burnt-out MMORPG player category. This game hit me like a breath of fresh air! Great mix of casual, fun activities wrapped in a fairly expansive world. I'm too busy having fun to worry much about whether I have the best weapon possible or whether I am wasting my time crafting or grinding. I mean, jeez, cart racing, demo derby, pet training, collections, card battles, Put me in the burnt-out MMORPG player category. This game hit me like a breath of fresh air!

I'm too busy having fun to worry much about whether I have the best weapon possible or whether I am wasting my time crafting or grinding. I mean, jeez, cart racing, demo derby, pet training, collections, card battles, puzzle minigames, board games, cooking mama, exploration quests, postman jobs, good old-fashioned kill the cave full of monsters quests, and more! My six-year-old can play in whatever way he wants, and we can both have fun. Totally worth the optional 4.99 monthly fee. Expansions may push this to 9 or 10!… Expand

    Great game to play with your kids, so much free content that you don't really have to shell out for anything if you don't want to. Enough depth to keep adults involved as well.

    Wow i played it thought it was pretty cool. the one huge problem about this game is the games name. Free Realms. guess what its only free if you give up 80% of the game features. and then the card game system if paying for the game was not enough now you have to buy packs of cards for ingame use. jezz if you are going to say a game is free please make it free.

    New update released in December turned this semi decent game into a mindless, repetitive hack 'n' slash grind fest. Alternatives to combat abound in the game world, but they lack depth and the majority of the mini games are identical - 'bejewled ripoff'. The chat system is utterly useless due to one of the most heavy handed word filters in any MMO.

    Free to play? Yes. Fun to play? No. I more than a little shocked that this turned out to be so awful, it's filled with stuff to do like questing, playing games, or just hanging out with people online. The problem is it's all just so boring, and my entire time playing Free Realms all I wanted to do was stop. Not to mention it's really laggy.

    It's worth checking out for any fan of casual games, RPG games, trading card games, tower defense games (yes these games are so good that fans of the genre should check it out just for that!) or pet training games, whether you are 5 or 50.

    This pleasant, free MMORPG is off to a great start and holds even more potential as Sony continues to implement new features and additions in the future.

    It's an effortlessly light and addictive indulgence - just don't expect it to nourish you.
