Nurien Review

E-mail Print PDF

nurienmainNurien Online is the best dancing game out there in terms of very high quality graphics.  That is because Nurien uses Unreal Engine 3 which is the best engine used in many games out there.  This game is very flashy when it comes to everything sometimes good and bad in it's own way.

The game has a decent amount of players playing but sometimes not enough to actually enjoy the game.  Although there are times when there are a lot of users on at night time(Korea).  You will be surprised with the amount of English speaking users in this game when you try it out.  Most of the games I have joined and played over the past few days had people from other parts of the countries talking in English inside the game lobbies.

Nurien is a pretty easy game to pick up in terms of game play mechanics and you can always practice solo if you are too shy to play with others.  The only thing I like about this game is the gameplay, other than that nothing else that really amazes me.  I think I would have stopped playing this game if the gameplay was the same as all the other music games out there.  I would have recorded videos of the game but Nurien was not Fraps friendly and I was lagging very badly to actually play and record at the same time.  In short arrow bubbles pop up from all over the screen followed by a halo.  Once the Halo reaches the outer rim of the arrow key that is when you press that key.  It's pretty fun when there are a bunch of key bubbles popping every where on the screen.

Very Fun Gameplay!

Since Nurien is supposed to be a Social Networking game they will probably add more features in the game i.e virtual mall or at least they should!  I checked out in game mall shop and I was just amazed at how many different types of clothing there are in this game.  The game has so many sets of clothing that it would take you about an hour or two just trying to find the perfect type of outfit that suits you.  Of course I exaggerated a little but there are a ton!  I took some screenshots below to show you what kind of stuff each shop has to offer.  Each type of clothing are separated into different types of brand names.  Some stores specializes in certain type of clothing like jackets, shirts, shoes, pants, and jewelry.  You get a bunch of money at the start so you can start spending it on one outfit.  Making money in the game is pretty easy so is leveling so that shouldn't be much of a problem for you.

Now let's talk about the songs that Nurien has to offer.  I didn't expect to see a lot of English songs in this game or even any at all but to my surprise there is a huge list of English songs from popular American artists like Britney Spears(lol), Nysnc, Christa Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Black Eyed Peas, and etc.  It almost feels like if I am playing the American version of Nurien.  If it ever comes out to the USA knowing how slow everything takes to port over, maybe months if not years.

English Songs!?

If you ever feel like trying this game and can't understand Korean at all well that's ok just check out the registration guide at the forums and you can make your own account in no time!  Honestly this isn't my type of game but I will try to stick with it until the end with an honest score.  It's not because it is a bad game it is just the game is ultra realistic why want a dancing/social type of game this good when you can just do it in real life lol.  The game has good songs, great graphics, nice gameplay, and many more so it is a good game.  For a Social Game Nurien was kind of empty and lacking players lets hope the final release of the game or further beta tests in the States or Korea will be popular.  3-D ftl 2-D ftw oh-hohoho!

Game Score: 8.5

I'm ready to hear a bunch of negative comments, many of them Sims-related, but the videos I found by rapidshare SE look pretty damned good. still, I've got a question disturbing me: Is the nurien site blocked in the united states? I cannot seem to get a connection to it from many links from different websites.
