4.0 out of 5 stars yeah, ok, it's a kids game, sorta, March 16, 2006

...and I'm an adult. Sue me.

That said, the game has great (cuuuute!) graphics, real-time combat, 3-D environment, lots of pretty items to collect, plenty of choices on how to play (smart mage, tough fighter, ranger vs melee vs mage, etc), and a fairly interesting story line.

no comment yet on how long the game is - if it's like Popolo Crois, it's gonna be too short, and I suspect that's how RPGs for PSP tend to be. all the games for psp cost too much at first release.

Load times - they're kept to a bare minimum while in towns and dungeons, no loading during fights or while opening chests and stuff, but the time ya gotta wait while entering a new area is kind of a pain. So far I'm using the break to go stretch my legs or use the bathroom, it's that long.

my only real complaint about the game is there arent enough player avatars and there's no customization (well, you can dress them up, but that's it), aaaand all the avatars are cat-creature thingies (even tho one claims to be a dog-fox cross - I have a friend who will plotz over the stupidity of combining dogs and foxes... )

so, ok, kids game with all the basic limitations - short list of avatars, no perspective control, most of the action is seen from above, and absolutely no blood or gore of any kind. It's still got lots to do, lots to see, and the promise of much eye-candy to come.

4.0 out of 5 stars childish characters, good gameplay and control, June 2, 2006

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Neopets Petpet Adventures: The Wand of Wishing (Video Game)

I have been considering for a while before I purchase the game
the characters are kinda childish
however, once I start, found the game is pretty good, pick a petpet you want, it may be hard at first because you may need to solve some puzzle
after you acquired some weapon, magic, elemental growth, petpet pet, you'll discover the fun of the game, the character's initial stat is different, but you can change throughout the game
the graphic is excellent, but it becomes sluggish when there're a lot of NPCs on the screen (this is the reason why I gave 4 stars overall instead of 5)
if you don't mind the childish characters and NPCs, this game is worth to buy, but it may be suitable for 12+, because it's a little bit complicated at first

i think it's awesome and considering this is only neopet's 2nd game, the graphics are awesome! the thing i hate about it is it takes too long to load, and you don't have "lives" so when you die you have to start at a save point and wait like 3 minutes for it to load or you have to restart it the area, I recomend getting this game and getting "Neopets - The Darkest Faerie" i got it too and it's really cool too!
