MechQuest vs Planetside 2
MechQuest
MechQuest is a child-friendly, sci-fi-themed 2D MMORPG from the makers of AdventureQuest and Dragon Fable, Artix Entertainment. The game offers its players the classic Flash-based browser MMO experience that even low-end PCs can run. Despite its simplistic combat system and graphics, the game has managed to last until today mainly due to its humorous storylines and even its special story updates that are filled with quips based on recent events and current fads. In some way, MechQuest is the perfect game alternative to players who love AdventureQuest-styled games but wanted something that has cool mechs cyborgs and actual robots in them.Planetside 2
Planetside 2 is a sci-fi-themed MMOFPS game that's the explosive sequel to its predecessor, Planetside, which was released back in 2003. In a way, the game is more inclined towards the extravagant and yet is still rather down-to-earth mainly because it features massive battlefields where hundreds to even thousands of players can battle it out for their faction. In fact, the game has an exciting gameplay which may bring to mind the games in the Battlefield franchise albeit the futuristic sort.Not to mention, Planetside 2 has an actual war playing out on the map where players who won a certain battlefield will essentially "claim" the land for their faction. The tug-of-war-like power struggle between factions help to bond the players in a way that resembles the deep rift between the Alliance and the Horde in World of Warcraft. The game is also developed by Daybreak Games which is in pretty good company along the likes of EverQuest 2, DC Universe Online and Lord of the Rings Online.
So, if you're looking for an epic MMOFPS game to fully immerse yourself in, then Planetside 2 is your best bet. If not, there are plenty of other casual shooters out there, but you can definitely expect that none of them can measure up to the faction-vs-faction tension, which usually erupts into another battle, offered in this game.
