REVIEW AUDITION ONLINE
Audition Online (Korean: 오디션 온라인), also known as X-BEAT in Japan, popularly called AyoDance in Indonesia, is a downloadable multiplayer online casual rhythm game produced by T3 Entertainment. It was originally released in South Korea
in 2004, but it has been localized by various publishers around the
world. Audition Online is free to play but it earns its revenue by
selling virtual items such as clothes for the player's avatar.
In South Korea, PSP (called Audition Portable) and cellphone versions were released on June 1, 2007 and June 4, 2007 respectively.
On June 12, 2008, Season 2 was first officially released in Korea.

Indonesian Audition, AuditionSEA, AuditionEu, Vietnam Audition,
Philippines Audition, North American Audition, Brazil Audition, X-BEAT
have updated to Season 2. Audition Season 2 features a new interface,
sound system, expressions, and many new features.

making. On April 28, 2010, closed beta has officially begin and it
ceased its operation during 2013.
During Fall 2013, Audition 3, known as World in Audition a.k.a WIA,
the 2nd sequel, was discovered to be in the making & closed beta has
officially begin.
Popularity
Audition's popularity began in South Korea and global versions of the
game. In 2008, Bugs Corporation discontinued the server. Noticing the
increasing popularity of the game, T3 Entertainment and Yedang Online
began localizing it in other regions including China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Philippines, North America, Thailand, Taiwan, South East Asia, Vietnam, Brazil, United Kingdom, and Remaining European Countries. The Asian and North American versions remain the most popular, with millions of members registered.
Gameplay Features
A player is allowed to create a room or join a room. The 'DJ' (the
player who creates the room) is given power to choose songs and settings
for the room. The DJ also has the power to kick people out of the room
and close the dance floor off however; this cannot be permanent. The
song's BPM (beats per minute) usually will determine the song's
difficulty and speed(with certain exceptions e.g. beat up mode).
The basic game is played by pressing the arrows displayed on the
screen (with the exception of red Chance arrows, which the player must
do the opposite of) and pressing spacebar or the control key on every
4th beat of the song. The more accurately the spacebar or control key is
pressed, the higher the score, "PERFECT" being the best, "GREAT" and
"COOL" still counted as good enough, "BAD" you will get very little
score, and for "MISS" as the worst one, no score. If you get a "MISS"
you will not get the chance to play for the next move. The player
currently with the most points during the game will have their character
in front and the most visible part of the stage.
A special move during most gameplay modes is the "Finish Move", can
be said the hardest move. If a person does not miss the move before it,
they have the option to do the "Finish Move". Finish moves issue a lot
of points and can often be the key to success.
When a player does 2 or more PERFECTs consecutively, he will get
bonus points for doing so. These PERFECT combos (or "Perfect chains")
enable players to interfere with the opposition. A blue circle indicates
that you made a PERFECT in your move, and acts as a shield. When a
player performs a PERFECT X1 (or perfect X2 in some cases) they will
make either the player ahead or behind them receive a yellow circle.
While under the yellow circle, points will not be given if that person
does not achieve a PERFECT (in a finish move it reduces a percentage
rather than the whole move). In addition, players can increase their
points by playing 'chance'. This can be activated by pressing the delete
key or the . key on the number pad whereby red keys appear and players
have to press in the opposite direction of the red keys. At the end of
the dance battle, the person with the most points is the winner. Each
player will receive experience points and Den/BEATS according to what
position they finished in.
If a single/group game (not including NPC, One-Two Party and Beat Up
modes) is full, while also having the music set to random, a random
event (also called a mission) will occur. This is where bonuses are
given if you accomplish a certain challenge. Examples are not getting a
specific beat judgment (e.g. no COOLs or no BADs), getting perfect
combos (e.g. PERFECT X3), or getting a standing (e.g. getting number 1).
The music can be random, random(new), or random from any range of
tempos.
Chance levels (not available in all versions)
There are chance levels from 1 till 6. With the addition of Chance levels, the DJ can now set a standard number of red (opposite keys) arrows a player will face when they use the chance mode. The choices range from 0 to 6. Alternatively, the DJ can select the free chance mode which will allow players to cycle through the levels at their leisure, or random level chance where a random amount of red chance keys appear per move (ranging from 1 to 6). The more red steps a player clears, the more points they will score. The ability to choose your own level of difficulty adds a new level of strategy and can greatly stratify scores between weak and strong players. In addition, whether or not players are using chance and their current chance level are displayed next to player scores during the game. There is also a random chance option, which gives you a random amount of keys with chance on a turn. When random chance is on, it gives no indication on the sidebar or on the screen which keys will be chance in the next turn or currently.

New chance system (not available in all versions)
Korean Audition has expanded the original Chance system with three new Chance Modes for normal room. These are: Double chance (Certain notes double, up to 6, display as Yellow notes), Bomb Chance (Bombs appear between notes, players are not allowed to make mistake as one wrong press will cause the bombs to explode, resulting instant miss) and Perfect chance (Scoring Perfect will reduce notes in the move, up to 3). Dynamic Chance is also available to every mode instead of only Crazy-9 like before. As of March 8, 2012, Redbana Audition now also has these three chance modes.

Insane system (not available in all versions)
This feature will add another Judgment, the Insane Perfect. The Insane Perfect gives approximately 3x higher score than Perfect and it'll give you a Score bonus. The score bonus depends on the judgment "blocked" after each insane perfect. Once the Insane is activated, the score bonus will set to +50%, but you will be blocked to achieve BAD judgment anymore, thus you'll miss. After getting a judgment higher that BAD except Insane Perfect, the score bonus is will set to +100%, but this time, you can't achieve COOL judgment too anymore, and after that, +200% score bonus in exchange of GREAT judgment, this will be the time that you'll need to have Perfect/Insane Perfect or you'll miss automatically. Misses gained from Insane's fault will still be counted but you'll be able to dance instantly after the miss, unlike regular miss that you'll have to wait 1 move bar to dance again. If you missed because of Insane in the Finish move, you'll won't miss it but there's no score. The key to success in Insane Mode is to keep your Insane Time as long as possible: Passing block-requirement with lowest result will advance to the next block-requirement, but if you can hit Insane Perfect, it stays back (Say, when the block-requirement is BAD, you hit Great and it advances to COOL, but if you hit Insane Perfect, the next one will still be BAD). There is also a bug from some servers that allow players to enter Insane Mode if they just ignore the key note and time their Space to hit Insane Perfect Point (Which resulting in MISS, but it still activate Insane Mode). Insane System is also known as "The Killer of Old Replays", which rendered all older replays saved before Insane Update corrupted. Older replays can still be viewed, but the players won't dance and always score Insane Perfect without hitting any notes (Even though the final score board still displays real result from that match). This bug has never been fixed, and players unaware of it have to accept that they lost all old replays, unless they record videos for them first.

REVIEW GAME HARVEST MOON
Harvest Moon, known in Japan as Bokujō Monogatari (牧場物語 lit. Farm Story ?), is a farm simulation role-playing video game series created by Yasuhiro Wada[1] and produced by Victor Interactive Software (acquired by Marvelous Entertainment in 2003). English translation and distribution of the game is done by Natsume for North America and Rising Star Games
for Europe. The main objective of the game is to rebuild a run-down old
farm and turn it into a successful one. Over a period of time the
player tends to crops and livestock, befriends nearby townsfolk, and
eventually in some series get married and start a family. The first game
was Harvest Moon, released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1996.
The player's character has primarily been male, but some games offer
the option to play as a female character. The most common story line of
the series involves the player taking over a farm that no longer has an
owner tending to it, growing crops, raising livestock, making friends
with the town's people and creating a family while running a successful
farm. Each game provides objects to collect or goals to complete,
whether it is befriending villagers, collecting musical notes, finding
sprites, making rainbows, or ringing bells.
Money is obtained by growing crops, raising livestock, fishing, mining, and foraging. With a limited time and limited energy, the player has to find a balance between the two in order to accomplish their work for the day.
Crops are the primary source of income in Harvest Moon. In
order for crops to grow the player must first clear the field from
weeds, rocks, boulders, branches, and stumps. Then with a clear field,
they must take their hoe and till the soil. Next, choose the seeds that
you wish to grow and sow them where the soil is tilled. The player must
continue to water the crop daily, but it isn't required on a rainy day,
and as time goes on the crop will be ready for harvesting. The player
must find optimal planting, watering and harvesting patterns. They also
must consider the cost, sell price, number of harvests and growth time
of the various produce available before planting. Each season has
different crops available for planting, though in most games nothing may
be planted in winter, and in Harvest Moon crops could not be planted in fall. In some games, a greenhouse or basement can be used during the winter to grow crops.
Turnips, potatoes, tomatoes and corn are staple crops of the series, introduced in the first game. Since then, other games have introduced new crops, such as cabbage, carrots, onions, strawberries, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, rice, pineapples, cucumbers and more. Grass may also be grown and harvested as animal fodder.
The first Harvest Moon only had cows and chickens, which were housed in a barn and chicken coop and fed the same fodder. Milk and eggs could both be sold, as well as the animals themselves. Later titles introduced sheep and a separate feed for chickens, as well as machines that could change milk into cheese, eggs into mayonnaise, and wool into yarn. The more recent games allow the player to also raise ducks, goats, alpacas and differently-colored cows. In Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility silkworms and ostriches were introduced to the series, and the new game also enabled players to befriend wild animals and persuade them to live on their farm.
Animals are also able to reproduce. Eggs can be placed in an incubator to hatch a chick in a few days, while giving a cow or sheep a Miracle Potion, the equivalent of artificial insemination, will impregnate them. Buying and breeding multiple horses was introduced in Harvest Moon 3 for Game Boy Color and continued in Harvest Moon: Magical Melody, Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility and Harvest Moon: Animal Parade
Pest animals are also found in Harvest Moon including wild dogs, and gophers. Wild dogs visit the farm at night and harass any livestock not kept in a barn or fenced area. Gophers in some older titles would consume crops.

Growing crops
Crops are the primary source of income in Harvest Moon. In
order for crops to grow the player must first clear the field from
weeds, rocks, boulders, branches, and stumps. Then with a clear field,
they must take their hoe and till the soil. Next, choose the seeds that
you wish to grow and sow them where the soil is tilled. The player must

Since then, other games have introduced new crops, such as cabbage, carrots, onions, strawberries, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, rice, pineapples, cucumbers and more. Grass may also be grown and harvested as animal fodder.
Ranching livestock
The secondary source of income in the games is purchasing, caring for, and raising your own livestock. Livestock may produce products which may be sold on a daily basis. Giving animals attention will increase their affection towards the player and may increase the quality of their products. Neglecting the animals' needs may lead to sickness and even death.The first Harvest Moon only had cows and chickens, which were housed in a barn and chicken coop and fed the same fodder. Milk and eggs could both be sold, as well as the animals themselves. Later titles introduced sheep and a separate feed for chickens, as well as machines that could change milk into cheese, eggs into mayonnaise, and wool into yarn. The more recent games allow the player to also raise ducks, goats, alpacas and differently-colored cows.

Buying and breeding multiple horses was introduced in Harvest Moon 3 for Game Boy Color and continued in Harvest Moon: Magical Melody, Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility and Harvest Moon: Animal Parade
Pets and other animals
In many Harvest Moon games the player is given the opportunity to receive a dog and horse as a pet. A large variety of animals can be kept as pets in the newer titles, from pigs and cats to pandas and turtles. In some games, the pets attend competitions (e.g. horse races and dog races) to win prizes. In Harvest Moon: Back to Nature the player can raise fish.Pest animals are also found in Harvest Moon including wild dogs, and gophers. Wild dogs visit the farm at night and harass any livestock not kept in a barn or fenced area. Gophers in some older titles would consume crops.
Gathering materials
Many Harvest Moon games require the player to gather materials for home improvement, tool improvement, cooking, or selling. The most common building resource in Harvest Moon is wood; other resources can include stone and golden lumber. The player can gather wood by chopping tree stumps and branches, and use wood to add buildings or fencing to their farm. Mines are present in many games, and minerals gathered can be used for upgrading tools and crafting gifts. In many games wild plants, such as herbs and flowers, may also be gathered.Festivals
Most games in the series feature annual festivals which the player can attend. Some festivals are contests with prizes available, while others are social events, some being equivalent to actual holidays, such as Thanksgiving, New Year's Day, and Christmas Eve. Livestock festivals also take place, where the player can submit their animals to compete against other farms. Animals that win these contests often receive benefits; for example, a cow that wins might gain the ability to produce gold milk.Getting married
Most Harvest Moon games offer the ability to marry. Gift giving and interacting with the love interest may increase the love interest's affection, and if their affection is high enough marriage may be proposed with a Blue Feather. Most love interests have rivals, who will marry them if the player does not. Only one Harvest Moon game, the Japanese version of Harvest Moon DS Cute, has allowed players to marry someone of the same sex (termed the "Best Friends" system). The feature was removed from the North American version over concern its inclusion would have raised the game's ESRB rating.[2]Children
In many versions, it is possible to have children, but usually only a boy. Harvest Moon, Harvest Moon 3, and Harvest Moon: Animal Parade, and Rune Factory 3 are the only versions where the player can have multiple children. Harvest Moon: Animal Parade is the first game in the series that allows the player to have two children of either gender, and Rune Factory 3 allows the player to have three children of either gender. Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life, Harvest Moon DS and Harvest Moon DS Cute are the only games in the series where the player can experience a child's growth from toddler to full-grown adult. Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility expands on this by letting the player restart the game as their child after the completion of an end game event. Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland, 'Harvest Moon GB, Harvest Moon 2 GBC and Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon are the only Harvest Moon titles in which the player cannot marry. Rune Factory 2 is the only Harvest Moon where the player can personify two characters, the father and his son or daughter.

Skills
There are different types of skills available in Elsword. You can
choose different types of skills as you level up. There are mainly Six
types of Skills: Passive, Active, Buff, Special Active, Sealed Skills,
and Hyper Active.
Passive is a skill that is always on effect after obtaining it. It
will be on effect without any mana cost as long as the conditions are
met. There are many types of Passives. There are some that increases
your Attack or Defense, there are some that gives special effects, and
there are also some that strengthens other skills.
Active is a skill that requires some mana to activate it. It usually
does not have a very strong damage so the mana cost and the cooldown is
very low. Mana cost ranges from 5~100 and cooldown ranges from 1~65.
Actives may damage your opponent, may help your allies, or even restore
your health or mana.
Buff is a skill that gives you and your allies a special effect or a
power boost for a limited time when activated. It's activation can be
easily interrupted, so it has a very short cooldown. However, the buff
usually gives a huge advantage to a side, so the mana cost is relatively
high. There are also skills called De-Buff Skills that Weakens your
enemy for a short time. Mana cost ranges from 50~80, cooldown ranges
from 10~30 and buff duration ranges from 3~60.
Special Active is a skill that has a special skill image when
activated. The damage is relatively powerful, so it has a very high mana
cost. Also, most Special Actives cannot be used as a combo, but there
are some that can. If a Special Active is interrupted, its mana will not
be refunded and its cooldown will start, but its interruption chance is
very low. Mana cost ranges from 50~300 and cooldown ranges from 5~30
Sealed Skills are a type of skills that require completing a quest to
be unlocked. After completing the quest, the NPC gives you a skill
unlocking book that can unlock a certain type of Sealed Skill. Due to
this down side, they usually are stronger than most skills. Sealed
Skills, when unlocked, becomes a Passive, Active or a Special Active.
There are 6 Sealed Skills for every Character. They are, Beginner, Easy,
Medium, Hard, Ultra, and Ultimate Seal Level. The higher the Seal
Level, the harder it is to unlock.
Hyper Active is the strongest skill in the game. They require being a
level 65 or higher to unlock, and is a Sealed Skill. To unlock the
Hyper Active, you need to complete a quest and obtain "The Ultimate
Skill Book". The Hyper Actives may decrease an enemy player's life to
half or even cause a One-Hit Kill when landed successfully. However,
they deplete the user's mana completely(Maximum mana for a player is 300
and Hyper Active requires 300 mana) and always has a 180 second
cooldown, even if you have a cooldown reducing buff or a mana cost
reducing buff. Characters like Aisha, Eve(except Code: Nemesis),
Ara(Sakra Devanam) can bypass the mana depletion, since they have a
Maximum Mana Increasing Passive Skill.
Player vs. Environment
Players traverse the land of Elrios, defeating enemies and
leveling-up to unlock new job classes and skills. As players explore the
world they travel to eight unique regions, each containing a "hub" town
and around 6 dungeons. In towns, players can receive quests from NPCs,
purchase items, and interact with other players. Dungeons are instanced,
offering co-op play for up to four players at a time. Some dungeons
feature branching paths, light puzzle-solving, and interactive elements
such as collapsing buildings. The game also features a number of special
dungeons. In all there presently 60 different levels.
There are nine different playable characters to date, though only 7
are available on NA servers. Each has three different job class paths
they can choose from starting at level 15. Exception is Elsword's older
sister Elesis (unavailable on NA Servers). Ara has had two first and
second job class paths revealed, and Elesis now also has two first and
second job class paths revealed. Also, Add (unavailable on NA Servers),
the latest Character, only has one class path revealed. Each job class
path offers specialization in a different play style along with unique
skills.
Player vs. Player
Player vs. player(PvP) takes place in special sparring and arena
arenas designed for different numbers of players. Up to eight players
can brawl at the same time. Both "survival mode" meaning everyone vs.
everyone and "team" modes are available with team battles supporting up
to 4 vs. 4. Servers have the option to fight 1 vs. 1, 2 vs. 2, and 3 vs.
3 matches. However, South Korean and North American servers, along with
others, are in the process or have already removed the 2 vs. 2
Story
The Elsword plot involves a mystical land named Elrios which was
nurtured to life through the power of gem known as the El Stone. When
the El Stone is stolen, Elsword and his allies go on a quest to recover
it and bring the thieves to justice. Along the way, new allies join his
team, now known as the "El Search Party". While this story ties the
eight regions of the world together, each region also has multiple
subplots that unfold as players complete the dungeons in that region. In
addition, each character has a personal story that is told as they
level up and select their job class path.
