It's Time For a FIESTA!










First off let me say what an absolutely beautiful game! The graphics are stunning and the music is fast paced and catchy. (One of their themes ended up on a commercial for "Tyler Parry's House of Payne") I loved watching the skills activate, the whole game has wonderfully captivating colors and sound.










The game does however have a few drawbacks. For starters unless you buy a beauty kit off of the website (costs REAL money) your character is stuck with limited faces and blue hair. Also in terms of races they're decided in a pretty stereotypical way. If you choose Fighter or Priest you'll be human, and if you choose ranger or mage you'll be Elven.





Most of the monsters have an "Almost to cute to kill" aura about them which I've only seen in a rare selection of games. They've even gone so far as to give some of the monsters captions that show them asking for mercy which, if it doesn't give you a total guilt trip, will give you a sick kick or two.






Above all my favorite part of Fiesta are the level restricted Kingdom Quests. KQs put you with a large group of other players all around you level (normally resulting in about 3-5 parties per quest) and require you to finish a challenging task within the time limit. Most of these are extremely fun, but are near impossible to do without at least 2 Clerics to protect against the hard hitting bosses.


With a 4.8 out of 5 (9.7 out of 10) I recomend Fiesta to anyone. It's a great game with lots of fun ways to keep you hooked.

Keep up the good work Outspark!
