GunZ : The Duel Review

OVERVIEW :
GunZ The Duel is a free online-only Third Person Shooter with RPG elements . I must say that its a very under-rated game . I mean its practicly perfect , only bad marketing left it out of the sunshine .
GAMEPLAY :
In GunZ you gain levels for frags or by killing monsters ( in quest mode ) . The better you play the faster you level . Its a feature i would like in a lot of FPS games . As you feel that your not spending time on nothing , you're leveling your character . It's an interesting system , and it works pretty well .
There are quite a few gameplay modes like : Deathmatch , Team Deathmatch , Deathmatch + Berserker , Assasination , Gladiator , Quest and etc. You can play on for hours .
The combat is great and fast . Hardcore gamers utilize the ability to cancel animations ( yes , like in good-old Street Fighter II ).
The weapon variety is amazing , from pistols and grenades to rocket launchers , uzi's and katanas.
Gaining levels allows you to get better items , so your hours of gameplay do payoff .
The game doesn't feature a storymode , but its no biggie . I mean its like counter-strike , you just don't need one .
To be a frag-master here you need to have a golden aim , a ton of patience and a little bit of luck .
I can see GunZ as a perfect eSport some day .

GRAPHICS :
The game is a few years old , but on high settings it looks great ! Far more then you would expect from a free game .

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS :
Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP, Vista
DirectX 9.0c+
Pentium III 500 MHz
256MB RAM
Direct3D 9.0 Video
Direct3DSound Sound

PAID OPTIONS :
You can buy premium items . They don't disballance the game that mutch , but are stronger then free items . And on top of that they look better .

UNIQUE FEATURES :
Probably the greatest TPS in the world . It's just so addictive ! You may get frustrated after playing a lot , but it's just so fun !! The game modes are well-designed .

GAMERS THOUGHTS :
A must play ! Judge for yourself : It's free , it's great , the game has a loot of room for skill .
A casual player may have a ton of fun . As for the hardcore , well.. Are you hardcore enough for this !!?? It's a big challenge , and totally worth to play .

OVERALL : 9/10
It's just perfect . Yes no story line and some features are messed up . But those are minor things, the gameplay is just so : addictive , skill-based , fun , fast & intense . You just want more and more .
I personally love this game so much i would give it an 11 ! But , as a critic i must state that the game does has some flaws . There minor , but there are some and you feel them . So becouse of that it got a 9 , instead of a 10 .
THE GOOD : great gameplay ; it's skill based , it's free ; nice graphics (on high setting , for a free game); a great mix of shooting and leveling .
THE BAD : some minor flaws ; no storyline .
