Aion: The Tower of Eternity (Korean: 아이온: 영원의 탑) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) released by NCsoft, a major Korean game developer. Aion was (up until May 20, 2009) known as “Aion: The Tower of Eternity” but it was released in North America under the one-word title of Aion. The game combines PvP and PvE (a concept the developers call PvPvE) in a fantasy game environment.

Visual Environment: 3/3 - strong visual design and ambiance
Sound Effects: 2.5/3 - standard professional effects

Niche Factor: 1.5/3 - nearly useless flying
Exploration: 1.5/3 - large world to explore hindered by slow travel and linear land designs

Overall: 69% - beautiful visuals cannot counter a great concept gone bad
