I dont even know where to begin... Lets see, i'll just ease you into this so you wont be overwhelmed with the things i'm going to say.
First of all, who the heck makes a story with a plot line as dumb as this?! I mean sure you'd probly like it if you are married to a bag of skittles, but COME ON PEOPLE! you start out in a "forest" making your way to a village. You encounter hideous beasts, and have only a staff to fight with, no training, magic, special attacks/abilities... NOTHING! When you get to the village there is this assinine archer that walks back and fourth on his stupid little post shooting at you, then when you look around to see whats hitting you, you get shot and die. the charecter dialoug is so out of sync, and the graphics are 3rd grade. Words cant describe how bad a game this is!
So, my over all rating
Plot 0/10
Music 2/10
Charecter development 1/10
Graphics -5/10
Dialouge 1/10
PS-(This game is just another wannabe FF! It mocks every single game that has ever been made!)

It is ok

There has to be a nicer way to put this... this stupid commercial is not even a game. Its hard to use the controller, the graphics are below standard, and the movement of the character looks like an Atari game. Just dont buy this [game!!!]

Don't buy this game!

This has to be one of the worst vidio games in the history of gaming. In fact it is not a game. It is a commertial. a very long Skittles commertial. You may be thinking that can't be right. It IS. Every skittles commertial is a different level. You have to go around collecting little round multi colored objects whick the game refers to as SKITTLES(r) as the comic book guy would say. "Worst game ever"

Shameless Marketing Ploy

Darkened Skye is made by whoever it is that makes Skittles. You go around a generic fantasy kingdom trying to find Skittles to keep an evil wizard from making everything monochromatic (isn't that the plot of most Care Bears episodes?).

The gameplay is horrible; it's an "action platformer" with terrible platform recognition, graphics that would be shameful four years ago, and some truly awful voice acting.

Frankly, this game is bad, bad, bad, and I'm surprised it's actually gotten decent reviews. From beginning to end it stinks.

Bad game,really bad game

In few words "this games sucks".It's got to be one of the worst games out there for the gamecube.The gameplay is awful and awkward,graphics look like a PSone game,the story wants to be fun but it just doesn't cut it.If you want to save some money please don't buy this game.

Relax, it isn't that awful...

The game is not perfect, and thats been established, but what it does do, that some players may find interesting, is make a mockery of the adventure game. It uses its dialouge and run of the mill story line to lampoon the average adventure game. The graphics aren't terrific and the controls make game play difficult, but the character's voices are terrific (I believe that Linda Larkin, the woman who voices the lead character, also did the voice for Jasmine in Disney's Aladdin.
The truth is, that when I first started the game I wasn't expecting much and was mainly playing the game because I figured that I had to at least check it out before I rolled my eyes and passed it over. If you're looking for a game that you don't have to take too seriously, then this is a good pick. Just remember, save. Save often, you will die, and it does get frustrating.

Very Underrated!

When I first found this game I questioned why I would want it. My money must have been burning a hole in my pocket, because I bought it. It may have been the skittles that made me do it. I thought the concept of using magical skittles interesting, and with all the skittles commercials... Unfortunately, since I didn't care for the graphics or the medievalish theme of the game, it sat on my shelf for over a year. One day I was bored enough to try it and it took me a bit to get into it. Once I did though, I couldn't turn it off. I found the characters dry humor totally hilarious and often laughed out loud. Maybe I have a wicked sense of humor but she is FUNNY okay!! I even talked my brother into trying it, he had a harder time getting through some earlier parts because he didn't have access to the internet and cheats, which I highly recommend, although not necessary. He didn't get too far before giving up (he has no patience and this isn't his type of game - he likes fighting and I like RPG) and I couldn't help him because I couldn't remember everything (I play A LOT of games and don't live with him - we are both grown), but he liked it and said he'd try it again someday. He also thought the humor was funny. I'd even play it again just for the humor and the challenge, it's a tough game (it was also one of my first tries at this type of game so maybe that's why it was so hard). As said before, unless you are really good at puzzles, I say cheat if needed. The game is not by any means great, it's just fun and challenging (locating and using the skittles correctly), and I died a lot. The graphics are nothing like we are used to today with such games as Kingdom Hearts 2 but that leads to the appeal of it...it is called Darkened Skye - her name is Skye btw. I would definitely recommend trying this game, the price is great, or just rent it first. Try it for yourself before you go by the negative reviews here. It is still one of my favorite games and I hope there's a next one, although doubtful.

Come on guys, I've seen a lot worse....

The game isn't all that bad. I've played alot of games in my time and found some awlful games. Waisted money, time and energy. Darkened skye is a little hard, well, pretty hard, and without the walkthru, I most likely wouldn't have gotton thru it either. Although, it kept me entertained, it's a good leangth, and cute to say the least. Although, after I got the first two birds in Zen'jai hills, for some reason I couldn't cross the bridge for a long time, I can't figure that one out.
But, I enjoyed it for the most part, and would buy part 2 if it came out.
