Title: Games Similar to VMK
New-Kid - April 10, 2008 02:18 AM (GMT)
Ok everyone, with VMK closing and all I thought I might inform you about some other online games that are SIMILAR to VMK.
First, is
Pizzle Pirates I breifly played it and I think that real cash is involved somhow. It's a pirate-themed game that is focused around gambling based mini-games.
With cash, houses can be bought and rooms can be made.
Stars: *** and 1/2 out of 5.
Second, is
GaiaOnlineOk, this one is really made for Anime fans but it DOES have elements that VMK had. It's mostly a 2D graphic system. You DO actually get to buy your own houses and stuff. I believe it has some decent minigames but since I've logged on a total of 1 times I can't say.
Stars: ****
Goonzu
A friend of mine metioined that he played the game, however, I can't find the URL for the North American version of the site. I'll post more on that if or when I find out more...
HabboWell, if we wanted to make another VWDW we should do it here. It's a pretty neat game, with ALOT of elements from VMK in it. If your into the game's style, this is definatly somthing to check out. EDIT: Unfortunatly, you need to BUY coins with real cash...
Stars: ***
NicktropolisThis is basically a Paramount/Nick version of VMK. The game is more 2D than VMK and the mini games were sotra boring. Then again, this is just a quick glance.
Stars: ***
Pirates Of the Caribbean Online
Well, I personall don't care for it. It's a good game, sorta like VMK except the fighting part. The graphics looks good, voices (as far as I can tell) are genuine, and the clothing system is pretty good. I really like the sailing part, but like most other games it gets boring if you don't have many friends.
Stars: ***
SmallworldsPersonally, I LOVE this game. Thanks to Friend for posting it! You get to make your own little virtual person, design your rooms, and even have your own puppy! You can play cusom music (I think), change the coloring of your "place", you can even play YouTube videos on these little TVs! I higly suggest checking out this game because in my opinion, it ownes VFK. Unfortunatly, since there's no dictonary people will and are abusing it...
Stars: **** 1/2
Build-a-Bear Ville:
What's there to say about it? Boring. Designed for youger children, not really the ideal replacement for VMK. I suppose kids'll enjoy it... but not me. I guess it's still worth a try.
Stars: **
Millsberry:
Remember that game that you always see ads for on Post cereals? Well I tried it... it's text based. There is no walking engine, and appears to be no chat system. How can they call this an online game?? It's boring as all heck. I suppose this is less of a review and more of a warning.

Avatar Legends of the Arena:
Based on Nick's # 1 series, you create your own bender (choose from Air, Earth, Water, and Fire) and just duke it out with other players in the arena. Not much to the game, but then again it IS free. Pay for what you get, right? The main way of leveling is playing through about 50 training missions until your ready to handle the higher level players (I recomment being at least level 7 before entering the arena.) When you select to play online it pits you against three players from around the world. If you haven't seen
Avatar: The Last Airbender yet then I'd hold off on playing this game.
Stars: *** 1/2
VFK:
A home for the homeless VMKers (at least that's what they thought.) A total rip off of VMK (it's the idea!) probably made by the same people who made VMK itself. What's the problem? It's not addictive. It has alot of the stuff VMK had - room customizing, different worlds for exploration, magic pins... some more magic pins, but not that same magical feel that VMK had. The only thing I feel playing this game is remorse for VMK's closure. The avatars don't make you wanna hug them, and the walk... is better left unmentioned. Overall, not really that good, but people are making it their new pad. Make your own coice on this one.
Stars: ** 1/2
Lively
Along with Smallworlds, this game probably opened as part of the "VMK Closing" craze that appears to be hitting the internet. Enter "Lively" a not-really-lively SN MMO sort of similar to Small Worlds. The game itself is pretty solid and suprisingly detailed for a free game (this is Google - they have money.) Unfortunatly, Lively will be shutting it's virtual doors to the gamers December 31st (build up a comminity BEFORE you ruin their lives! :glare:) Overall, it has potential, but it's current version (STILL IN BETA) is flawed. Don't waste your time getting addicted to it. In fact, there ISN'T time to get addicted to it!
Stars: * 1/2
Fusion Fall
CN's new MMORPG. Not really like VMK, more like WOW and that sort of stuff. The game's pretty cool, intergrating characters from the CN universe into the game (THE EDS!!) It's glitchy at this point, but that's just because it's in beta. The game is currently closed off to the public, but there will be another preview weekend on Dec 27, 2008. The graphics are fantastic, so I'd assume it will be pay-to-play. I think it'd be worth it!
Stars *** 1/2
If you have any other online games that you know of that are similar to VMK please post them.

New-Kid - April 10, 2008 10:06 PM (GMT)

Toon Town is hardly anything like VMK. It's got a similar turn based fighting, sorry, GAG system that the Final Fantasy series has. I don't like the look or feel that POTCO is presenting but I'll take a look at and review it sometime.
Ranch - April 11, 2008 11:01 PM (GMT)
This reviewing will come in handy in about a month bro.. good lookin out!

It's no problem, Ranch. I'm actually having fun doing it. :)
Jessiestudio - April 11, 2008 11:40 PM (GMT)
ok being serious this time i would like to know if you could review the harry Potter game talked about in another post Thanks :thumbsup:
SKKaty - April 12, 2008 12:02 AM (GMT)
I just signed up for it to see what it's all about.
MadAboutMickey - April 12, 2008 01:31 AM (GMT)
I'm tempted to ask you to review Webkinz :P I more like the idea of you having to go to Hallmark to buy a little stuffed animal, though!

My friend's sister plays that game. I'll ask her to show it to me next time I see them.
Friend - April 12, 2008 02:00 AM (GMT)
Webkinz rocks!!! I have an account - feel free to add me as a friend - name there is "dumbogal"
MadAboutMickey - April 12, 2008 02:22 AM (GMT)
Yea, both my sisters play it already, I really don't need it reviewed. I just thought it would be funny to picture you playing it. It's very girly!
New-Kid - April 12, 2008 02:37 AM (GMT)
What..? You think I'd actually paly it? NO WAY! I've seen this game before! It's grlier than... I don't know but something girly!
nicks_ahoy - April 12, 2008 11:49 AM (GMT)
I wouldn't call it girly but definitely not what we would be looking for in a game for all of us minds to play in. The game was obviously meant for small children and the features are basic. You could build rooms but there are no teleporters to link them with other people's room. On top of that the games pay very little KinzCash and most of it's very expensive. Plus you need to take care of your virtual pet.
Jessiestudio - April 12, 2008 04:33 PM (GMT)
well i dont know about you but i take studio to get feed at the blue bayou at least once a week :P
MadAboutMickey - April 12, 2008 05:44 PM (GMT)
^^
lol! MadAboutMickey requires churros three times a week :P
Jessiestudio - April 13, 2008 08:19 PM (GMT)
:blink: she does not look like she ever gains any wait or exercises how ever does she pull it off :blink:
MadAboutMickey - April 13, 2008 11:41 PM (GMT)
Her secret: She never eats real churros, only virtual churros. That way, she never gains weight! She's going to start a new diet. "Pixelated and Pretty" :rofl:

Pinkcat - April 15, 2008 05:11 PM (GMT)
Webkinz is pretty fun.....my kids play it, it has lots of mini games that are cute and fun.
POTC online ROCKS if you like role playing games with quests to complete. Several of us play and have a great time together.
MadAboutMickey - April 15, 2008 10:43 PM (GMT)
Yea, I might try POTCO...I just don't like that you have to pay to get full access to the game.
nicks_ahoy - April 16, 2008 02:18 AM (GMT)
My question is do you need to pay to use voodoo because when i stopped playing that was what I was after
Pinkcat - April 16, 2008 07:30 PM (GMT)
Yes I believe so. You need to pay the upgrade to use more advanced weapons.
Jessiestudio - April 16, 2008 10:16 PM (GMT)
yup i love pirates but it gets really boring if your not with a team. and in order to use any weapons other then a basic gun or basic sword one must pay for full access
PartyLite - April 18, 2008 01:37 PM (GMT)
Have ya'll checked out Wonderland online?
It actually looks good! (and free) It is anime - which has never been my thing - but I may let that slide...
Here is the site

Ok, here are a few screenshots of Nick's VMK copy:
You get rooms that are fully customizable:

There are lots of shops...

In fact, going to Bikini Bottom transforms you into a fish:

My name in the game is NewKidaye, I took these when I was playing an unregistered player.
MadAboutMickey - April 19, 2008 01:32 AM (GMT)
Hmm...that actually looks kinda cool!
New-Kid - April 19, 2008 01:34 AM (GMT)
There's also a multiplayer trivia game which I totally owned in... until the Zoey 101 and Icarly questions came up...
MadAboutMickey - April 19, 2008 01:37 AM (GMT)
Oh, you mean you don't watch Zoey 101? It's like, the most fab-u-luss show EVA!!! :P :rofl:

Now, let's not get off-topic, Studio :P As lava as Jamie Lynn Spears may be, she's pregnant and engaged. At 17. I'd give up if I were you...
Anyway, could you review POTCO for us? I might sign up but I'm not sure.
