An analysis of the game Perfect World for the PC.

Perfect World is an MMORPG with a decidedly anime feel. You can choose from a small variety of races which have associated professions. Built in are a number of “cute” features like the ability for males to carry females, and males and females to cuddle/kiss, as well as the ability for characters to “marry” within the game for a boost in experience. With pets, mounts, costumes, and special weapons available, Perfect World is heavy on character individuality.
