This is the most sorry excuse for an RPG game that I have ever played. It has awful graphics, cheesy and fake voice acting, a god-awful battle system(you die so easly in the beginning of the game), and it's got very little replay value. If you just HAVE to play this game, then a weekend rental is the way to go.
THIS GAMEE IS AWSOME

The most annoying part of this game is the battle system, its absurd, it doesn't make sense.
When you swing a weapon at your enemy you have to wait way too long before you can swing it again, its stupid.
Even I could fight better than that moron in the game. You could probably bear that out with one handed weapons, but
two handed weapons need you to wait a good 5 seconds between swings
(maybe more)and when you are fighting someone it seems like forever. Graphics are average, at some points less.
And i hated that after you beat the final boss there is no conclusion,
the characters just walk off (I love a game with a good story e.g. Legaia 2).
And the point is that don't buy this game, there are better games out there with the good sides of this game.
Nothing good at all

After dying of boredom through some very bad cut scenes that I can't skip. And after playing through the battle tutorials which seemed very unfun. Then finally finding some castle where I could apparently get some weapons I pull the switch and all I see is white polygons. The game crashed, first time I've had that happen on the PS2.
I did only pay the reduced $ cost but still hardly worth it, I wasted 30 minutes of my life watching bad cutscenes to only have that wasted by a faulty game. Now if I could skip those boring cutscenes I might turn this on again...
Don't buy it, I was really looking forward to a new RPG when I got this but was let down. I would give it zero stars if I could.

A sense of accomplishment, one thats been long forgotten by society and time, is what you will be granted if you play out and beat this game. Its a history of life, taught in the most subtle of ways, and its a good challenge if you're up for it. Its the type of game that one can easily find himself getting lost in, and one that will provide you with hours of mind tantalizing fun. The graphics are pretty good, as are the views, but the best part is the weapon/magic selections that it offers. Definitely a game for a true RPG fan.
Worst RPG EVER!

...The graphics and environment are barely average, the story is rote, and the combat system is easily the worst ever invented. What initially attracted me to this game before it was released was the sheer size of the environments you can explore....and the game is big, but all the vast expanse of this game serves to do is make it seem even more boring and lackluster. ...
pretty good game

I spent 15$ on this game and think it's very worth it.The fight system is extremely creative, the 2 player mode is tons of fun and character advancement makes it all the better.I find it very annoying when you cant heal after using your weapon.offensive and defensive should be seperate.Other than that, graphics and sound are great, just dont give up.
This Game is not for quitters

I have beaten this game 5 times. If you learn what you're doing, it's the easiest, most interesting, and in some ways the most fun two player RPG on a console.
The one thing you have to learn is to use skill points and not complain about the beginning. If you specialize in two handed axe, one handed hammer, or one handed sword, this game is a breeze, as everything else just falls together. To the #1 reviewer, quit your griping. You didn't even get to Dagan, the second area. I have beaten this game 5 times, have found ALL the collectibles (minus the tree frogs ;) ) and I can garuntee you, this game is AWESOME! It is hard at some points, but it's a game, it's supposed to be challenging.
I thought it was good!

Heck I really liked the game. It has a great 2 player value and although the game lacked some storyline it had a great battle system and I liked the sidequests alot. Dont go and expect the game to be another FFX but if you just want a fun game not something that is going to give you deep thought than this is probably your game.
