Hello Kitty is one of the most enduring animated characters of all time. We've been playing Hello Kitty Online to see how it stacks up to its legacy. See how HKO fares in our latest review.
The game’s graphics consists of 2D sprites in pastel colors in a vibrantly decorated world. The Sanrio style is stamped on everything giving the game a cartoony feeling. Everything is cute, even the monsters. So, if you’re prone to cuteness overload you may want to limit your exposure to HKO. The game does offer only two resolutions: 800x600 or 1024x768. This means that playing in windowed mode is the best option if you have one of the larger monitors available today. Otherwise, the lower resolution of the graphics is very obvious.

I think mmorpg is trolling his loyal fanbase. With hello kitty you guys lost much of your credibility.
Oh my... I admit I thought this game is only a joke (since I first heard about it from South Park's wow episode, and let's face it, Butters isn't the most credible character). Heck, we even use it as a phrase if somebody says or does something stupid: ok, now go and play some Hello Kitty Online Never checked if there's an actual game or not.
I think it's only fair if I try it for the lolz. I will do that. As soon as my TSW subscription is... oh wait.
I think that response there loses you credibility in that you can look down upon something negatively just because its not in 'your style'. A game can be great without needing to cater to your particular demographic and being ignorant just cause its designed for a certain audiance to automatically flame a game just shows a very shallow view you have in determining what is 'good' or not.
Would I play this game? Probably not, but I'd be a fool to mindlessly bash a game I never tried just because of where it was made or its target audience was without giving it a try and seeing just what it has to offer.
and I'm surprised at the lack of common sense some parents have. You should not even be considering letting someone under 13 play an online game. They don't need to socialize outside of school and family, and no matter what controls you think are in place, it's just a dumb decision to allow that, facebook, twitter, etc.
Parents considering mmos for their kids should make a deal with mmorpg.com. One will stop reviewing games aimed at kids, the other will just stop having them.
bleh IDK about you but If i had my daughter or neices play anything, i'dbe this. I could play with them, but mostly its a 'safe place' to learn mmo's(Sure are creeps but at least the game itself can teach mmo stuff without being too harsh)
Like most games, HKO has a target audience.

For you. The entire market isn't made up of jaded bittervets, though. You probably also wouldn't touch Wizard 101 or Maple Story.
As for HKO being embarrassing, I kinda like having a [email protected] email address.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

It serves the market it was designed for well. Although I think there are much better kids games with better parental controls than this game. I certainly would not recommend it for someone looking for their kids to play a MMO type game though.
Like someone said, if you have fun playing the game, then it achieved it's purpose.
I'm sure a lot of us thought the embarassment of saying "I watch My Little Pony" would keep it from getting big. Take a look where that ended up.
Thought I would add that for you,
You were spouting an awful lot of what sounded like Conservative American rubbish as though it was Gospel. If you are a fellow Brit I apologise now, but it sounds so painfully sanctimonious its hard to read.
1. You do not now or ever have to right to tell parents how to raise their children
2. Your incredibly narrow views about social media and gaming seem so out of touch as to be laughable in the 21st Centuary. In my humble view.

He seems to me to be just looking to start a fight..any fight I love using this game as a response for when other ask what game they should play I guess one of these days I should check it out just to not be a "total hypocrite" lol just a casual one

Everything I just wrote was mysteriously absent from my final post. What happened?
tl;dr version:
IMO, forbidding access to online socialization is a mistake. Supervision and guidance are far more effective, and teach children to protect themselves.
