Meez vs Monkey Quest
Meez
Meez is a 3D virtual world game that you can play for free on your browser. Like most social virtual world games, you'll get to create and eventually custolmize your own avatar before diving into the beautiful world of Meez. The land of Meez is separated into "hoods" and each "hood" has its own theme. For instance, if you go into the "Gym" hood, you can let your avatar have some fun exercising or generally, playing with the many exerise equipment there. You'll even get your own hood to decorate and invite friends to. The game also has many nice sound tracks courtesy of Soundcloud that you can listen to as you play.Chatting is quite unique in this game as well. Most of the time, you'll be typing out the stuff you want to say, but certain words will trigger certain animation, for example, typing "lol" will make your character double over in laughter. Of course, meeting and making new friends is the entire premise of the game, so feel free to express yourself but keep in mind that politeness is still a virtue in an online virtual world since you'll still be chatting with actual human beings on the other side of the screen.
Meez is an amazing social virtual world that many has found incredibly entertaining. If you're interested, be sure to check it out.
Monkey Quest
Monkey Quest is a child-friendly MMORPG/ virtual world game set in the beautiful, isometric (platformer-like) world of Ook. Play as an adorable monkey, which you can customize as you wish, and set off on an RPG-like adventure where you'll complete quests given by other monkeys you meet along the way. The monkey you play as will also need a class, and you can choose from being a Pirate to a Wizard to a Ninja or even to a Viking.Being part of an MMORPG, you'll also get to play with your friends and journey together in a group, battling enemies along the way. As you level up, you'll also gain more powerful and cool-looking skills to help you defeat tougher foes. You can even buy a pet who will help you during combat. For the explorers at heart, there are plenty of locations for you to explore as well.
However, the best thing about this game is that it is designed with a younger audience in mind, and thus, the game has plenty of restrictions in place to help safeguard these younger players from potential cyber harm. This also allows parents to turn this game into a fun family-bonding activity.
That said, Monkey Quest has been shut down quite some time ago and if you're interested to find another game that both you and your kids will be able to enjoy, you might want to take a look at our list of alternative games.
