Asda Story is a free to download and free to play game brought to you by the folks at Games Campus. The downloading and installation of the game were fairly quick and relatively painless. You do need to create a Games Campus account before you get started, and this account information will also be used to log you into the game. Once downloaded and installed I ran into some trouble starting the game. It took me a couple of attempts to get the game up and running. I installed asda story gold on a Windows Vista Ultimate, Dual Core E6750 @2.66, Dual ATI Radeon HD 3850, with 2 Gig Corsair RAM over a cable modem. Once inside the game, the game play ran very smoothly. The one in-game feature that worked flawlessly was the in-game link to the web based Games Campus market place for all your real cash transactions. Funny how they got that part right. The game controls and dynamics of asda story gold are pretty much the standard of what gamers have come to expect from the majority of fantasy based games. You have your hot bar, a mini map in the upper right corner, chat in the bottom left corner, and general mouse point and click movement.

Opinion: The game’s UI was pretty standard. No innovation there, but really what else are you looking for in a user interface?

Character generation is pretty straight forward. There is a limited choice of your avatar’s appearance, but you can come up with a fairly unique look. You can create up to three characters (professions in asda story gold). That works out very well, since there are only three types of professions in the game. Each Primary Profession has a second and third profession assigned to them. The primary profession choices are: Warrior, Archer, and Mage.

Opinion: Three different professions to choose from to start in this day and age is really not an impressive thing. Doesn‘t kill the game, but it don‘t wow the user either.
