The name explains the question

[Wiignorant]

I am wondering if there are any games for the Wii that resemble or do anything like what World of Warcraft do? I like role playing games with the swordplay and scorcery. I was just hoping someone could point me in a direction to start.


I appreciate it. I grew tired of constantly having to upgrade my PC to play games, not to mention, all of the cheating that goes on.


Thanks for the help.

well some final fantsasy games are coming so that is kinda like wow... (Wii-ware, u need to be hooked up online...)

Final Fantasy is like WoW? Lol, No disrespect to you or FF, but its NOTHING like WoW.

In all seriousness, Wii isnt the console if you are looking for those type of games. Atleast not yet... The RPG style games right now are more on Xbox 360. PS3 has a some, but less than Xbox. Wii has Zelda, but thats an adventure game, it lags true Role Playing like WoW.

Xbox 360 has a few, the current biggest one is Oblivion which is also on PS3, you can buy the original Xbox game Fable which IMO is a great RPG game. Fable 2 is coming soon for 360. Also Too Human which is a cross between Devil May Cry and Diablo.

Thanks for the replies. is there anything upcoming for the Wii that is more aimed at role playing?

I just bought the Wii and an Xbox is not in the budget. We are a one console family.

I kno wow is very different from ff but ff is an rpg... They are both rpgs

FF is known as the RPG genre, but IMO its not. Maybe to japanese players it is. But IMO FF is an adventure game not RPG. Adventure because its 1 way it can really start/end. RPG's tend to have difference classes that you choose, difference race, gender, etc. Also true RPGs have variety in equipment, for example, leather, chainmail, plate, swords, bows, axes, hammers, etc. etc. Then some RPGs go more in depth with rare items, magical and unique items. Basically an RPG can be replayed over and over with a different overall experience. For example, I just played Fable through as a Evil fighting character that has dark armor and horns with red eyes etc. Im about to play it again as a magic user who is good with all bright armor so everyone can admire me and crap :P

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (the most epic and longest adventure game for the Wii) It is like an RPG game in someways. Very good

i think zelda is your best bet, its got sourcory and swordplay... lots of swordplay actualy, and what i mean by sourcory is like all the potions u can drink to give ur self health, lolz.

Thanks everyone, Zelda it will be. Man I played the original one for months and months.
