This games is not as bad as everyone says it is. I will admit I have not played it all the way through, but I have played worse RPGs. The graphics are not great, and the storyline is a little dry and the characters dont really develop. Yes, this game lacks, but its not down right awful. Although with the release of the PS2 and all the new RPGs hitting the market, you can easily find a RPG that would be much more fun!

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but not Amazing, October 25, 2000

This game was really fun to play, and the story line was decent, but overall it was far from the best I've ever played. At the time this game came out, it was pretty good because there wasn't much of a selection for Playstation RPGs. But by now, there are much better games out there.

The story line is based on the usual "Young boy goes off on an advneture to save the world." Most of it has been done before. The magic is pretty good. Most of the spells are fairly original, and the graphics that go along with them aren't too bad considering the cartoon appearence of the rest of the game.

I remember being a little annoyed by the excessive random encounters in some of the dungeons, but it's nothing I haven't dealt with before. One dungeon that stands out in my mind however comes near the end of the game, and it was by far the most nervewrackingly annoying dungeon I have ever encountered in ANY RPG (and I've played them all!). There are invisible pit traps all throughout the already long dungeon, which drop you down to the previous floor somewhere, which also has pits... Combined with the high random encounter rate, this place is an absolute pain to complete.

Most of the game is straightforward, with only a few elements of surprise. This is the kind of game I'd recommend only to a first-time RPG player. All of us RPG veterans should look elsewhere.

i wish i never would of got rid of this game if i would of known that ps1 games were going to be really hard to get i would of kept it but i got i think the last dungeon in the game and i made it to the 7th floor and there was a d@mn trap and i ended up back on the first floor
theres lots of brain busting puzzles but there all fun to play and u will figure it out eventually lol if u have the internet near by then it might be easier to find clues
