Mytopia - great concept, could be executed better...

Mytopia has the potential to be great, but it lets itself down..

Visually, the site is great, the design is rich and full of colour and vibrance that just makes you want to play! The first problem i encountered however is that once logged in you are forced to operate in a very small window, that cannot be maximised. I found this very disappointing as it takes away from my gaming experience when i have a bunch of other things that can distract me in the background, i want to get lost in the world!

The town of mytopia in which you land in once signed in is a great little area to navigate around the site, you click through the different buildings to navigate through and play the different games. Once you choose a location, you play the games at that spot and can win gold and silver. You can use your gold and silver to purchase items from the shop. what you can do with these items i'm yet to know!

When in game there are features such as IM chat with other people who are currently playing, and there are also other community features around the site such as discussion boards, invite your friends and messaging.

To go back to the gaming side of the site, there is another point that i find irritating. The fact that you are already operating in a small pop-up is a pain, let alone the fact that another pop-up is produced once you want to play a game, which to me is too many pop-ups!

Overall, I recommend to have a look at the site, but don't imagine you will get too carried away with it. It's a great idea in the time when people are looking to be a step ahead of the competition, but I think this one just misses out!

SCORE: 2/5
