    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.
  2. The game is about variety, in a fantasy setting, and everything experienced embraces the game and seems geared to make the game player feel at home. Free Realms is an enjoyable adventure.
  3. 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.
  4. It's an effortlessly light and addictive indulgence - just don't expect it to nourish you.

    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. Expand

    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, 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
  3. 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. I can see kids enjoying this, but as far as I'm concerned this is a complete waste of time and I don't ever see myself returning to it. Expand
