    Parents of younger kids and tweens will definitely want to check out Wizard101 if they haven't already. It's a wonderful game to use to introduce kids into the wider world of MMOs. And while Mom and Dad are at it, they should also call Grandma and Grandpa to get them started too. Wizard101 is that good and that fun for players of all ages. For this particular niche, the family-oriented, cross-generational gamer, there is no better game on the market today than Wizard101.
  2. An ideal starter MMO for children, but challenging enough for adults. Kids will love the cute characters, colorful world, and grandiose combat animations (as well as the Potter-like setting) while their parents may be drawn to the Magic: The Gathering inspired combat card mechanic and online safety measures.

    The most pleasant on line gaming experience for me so far is this Wizard 101 game. You would have to go pretty far back to remember writingThe most pleasant on line gaming experience for me so far is this Wizard 101 game. You would have to go pretty far back to remember writing game code on tapes, but that's where my gaming started. I have tried every genre, all types of games over the years, and still find that the Kingsisle team left out 99.9% of what made other games become uninteresting. You look forward to relaxing with this game. There is no difficulty communicating (don't like that numbers are blocked), and you can make friends, meet up, and do challenges together, or enjoy the game alone. One minus--the gains in one level are offset by loses in another when it comes to weapons, clothing, etc, --but I don't know what would happen if this were not the case and it doesn't, however, make the game less fun, Expand

    Love this game! Started playing in 2012 and still love this game. It's a romp that I feel like more people should experience.

    This game is good for kids and is mostly safe, but within the past few months, this "kid-safety" has gone down. The free trial is restrictedThis game is good for kids and is mostly safe, but within the past few months, this "kid-safety" has gone down. The free trial is restricted to only a few zones, but it's a trial, so if your kid(s) like it, buy them membership or purchase crowns(paid cash currency) to have them cash in the crowns for better items, houses, or zones, although membership is better if your children want to progress further. The graphics and engine are outdated, thus it will look pretty bad. The game is perfect for kids 5-10, and older kids and teens will have more fun in Pirate101 or another MMORPG than this. Overall, it's an okay game. Expand

    This is probably one of the best games I have played and definetly the best MMORPG . Its extremely fun and addictive with beautiful graphicsThis is probably one of the best games I have played and definetly the best MMORPG . Its extremely fun and addictive with beautiful graphics and a great storyline . No matter how old you are I believe you will enjoy this game . However , There is one HUGE problem , Cost. The game is ridiculously expensive ... if you use the pay per zone option like I did it will cost you well over 100 dollars to play all the zones as for membership its less expensive but no less overpriced . So for this reason I do not recommend getting this game because simply put no game is worth that price . Expand

    Not being able to progress without paying makes this game upsetting. Why should I pay to move to another area or city?

    I loved W101. Then I got hacked. I reached out to KingsIsle for help but they said they couldn't do anything. They said that they can onlyI loved W101. Then I got hacked. I reached out to KingsIsle for help but they said they couldn't do anything. They said that they can only help if you've reported this to them within two weeks of the incident. Past that, they apparently don't keep track of anything so if you weren't playing at the time, screw you. So you give these people your credit card, which they store, and if you are hacked, they have no method for helping. There is no security and no support. They will instead tell you to just start over. Instead, I logged into my account and deleted my credit card. Giving them your credit card is akin to handing it to a toddler and hoping they don't lose it. Expand
