4.0 out of 5 stars A Fun, Challenging game, February 10, 2005

When I first saw this game, the first thing that popped in the back of my mind (after reading the back) was that this looked a lot like Castlevania, only with a younger twist. After playing it I came to the conclusion that this game uses the Shaman King Licence, but is and amalgamation of Castlevania 2 Simons Quest (NES) and Castlevania Aria of Sorrow (GBA).

The story here is that a Villian named Magister has appeared and is tryign to ressurect a dead Shaman King so he can destroy the Shamans. As Yoh Asakura you travel around the country tryng to gather pages from a mystical book to stop him. Armed with your sword and Spirit Guardian Amidamaru you take on this dreadful challenge. The game play is for the most part go from one end of the level to the other ala Simons Quest. Where Aria of Sorrow comes in is that you collect souls to grow stronger, and the movements are much more in tune with current Castlevania.

There are problems with the game however.
1: despite all there is, the game is short (first time through, took me roughly 4 hours).
2: Difficulty is way to high. You do good amounts of damage to your foes, but they do even more to you. Expect a lot of kicking the bucket, even as a seasoned vetren.
3: The monsters in the game are very simmilar. Essentially there are lots of enemies, but most of them look the same, and when you encounter something different, it goes through and kills you (Golem anyone).

Despite the flaws the game is good. I definetly recomend it to anyone, especially if you need something to carry you over until the Next Castlevania hits on the Nintendo DS. Be warned though that the game is merciless, but fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Shaman King, March 29, 2005

A Kid's Review

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Shaman King Master of Spirits (Video Game)

I got this game a little after Christmas what happened was I got grand theft auto advance and to be blunt it sucked hard. So I took it to eb games to trade it in and guess what game I got. That's right I got this game I fell in love with soon after I got it wich was five minutes. The game is fun and semi addictive.
It took me about a week to beat one file in normal mode. An I beat the game in hard mode in about a week or two. But overall the game is worth it even though sometimes it willllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll tick you off.

This review is from: Shaman King Master of Spirits (Video Game)

I'm generally more of a Yu-Gi-Oh fan, but this game... is addicting. Not only did I buy it on sight when I found out about it, it actually took over my obsession with trying to beat YGO: Reshef Of Destruction. Trust me, that was extremely hard to do. It's very challenging (for me, at least. I'm still fairly new to playing video games) since there are so many different people and creatures to fight, and the traps are always a rude awakening if you haven't already been there and died. ^_^() Basically, it's all a trial-and-error thing, seeing what works best in that particular situation. But that's all I'm saying there ^_~ You'll have to figure the rest out for yourself.
