About Wiz 101

Published by thatgirl under game reviews, gaming Edit This

I was predisposed to like the new Wizard 101
game. It’s not exactly a secret that I love Harry Potter, and the game
promises to be a wizard school MMOPRG. The game is adorable from the
first loading screen. They’ve got a Wizard 101 gallery
on the website, but it doesn’t do justice to the fantastic sketch
drawings and handwritten notes, or the cheery game characters.

I was asked not to post screenshots, (edit 8/25: that’s changed, my W101 pictures are here)
as the game’s still in beta, so you’re just going to have to believe me
that one teacher is a qipao-clad animated cow. And there’s an attack
leprechaun! Even the menu screens are draw like classroom doodles. If I
could post just one screenshot, it would be the stick figure cartoons
on the map and in the margins… a girl and a boy who are always getting
into mischief. Also, I would put a pair of glasses on the girl!
