Kaneva
To be blunt, Kaneva sucks. There is no easy way to put, it’s just pure and utter crap.
Let’s start with the graphics: they’re pathetic. There is virtually no detail at all, be it realistic or cartoonish. It’s gross mixture between the two with no details. If you were to have a 3rd grader make a person out of play-doh you could get the same results. Were this made 6 or 7 years ago, it might fly for ‘neato’ graphrics but even that is pushing it.
As far as the user interface goes, it reminds me of an old adventure game that you would pick up for sale at K-mart. It makes you say “what the hell is this crap?” when you can’t find anything you’re looking for. On top of that, most of the features make you leave the client and go to their webpage. That might be ok if you’re purchasing something with a credit card, but that’s about it. The in-game purchasing system uses either credits or rewards, which makes sense. Though there is no confirmation of buying anything besides your money going away in the bottom corner of the screen. I had 9 parts of black pants before I realized this. I wasn’t too impressed.
I ran around a mall for 15 of the 20 minutes I was on, only seeing 2 people. It seems that nobody else thought this was very good either, huh? As far as the system running without a lot of lag, it did do that right. But when you have less than a dozen people online that should be too bad. And don’t even get me started on having to do a 213mb update after downloading.
So as I said, it sucks. You should try something else or even dip your head in hot melted cheese instead of playing this.
