Simple and Kid-Oriented

This game is a very simple RPG. Very good game for a beginning or young RPG gamer. This game lacks depth in both storyline and character development. Battles are not very strategic and although the boss battles are sometimes difficult they are never impossible. Sometimes there is gap in the information as to what to do next in the game, but the game is so linear it does not take much sleuthing to discover where to go or what to do next.

Eh. Not bad!!

If you are looking to be blown away by graphics, don't buy this game. Even though the game play is solid, the graphics really are horrible. Since I don't give a hoot about graphics, that doesn't bother me a bit. This game was entertaining and has a good bit of humor too! The front of the box does look a little cutesy, but don't let that deter you from purchasing this game. I spent $30 on it at GameStop and was a little disappointed to see that is was over $10 cheaper on Amazon, but I still don't feel ripped off. It starts off a tad bit too easy, but trust me. It gets harder as you progress through the game. All in all, a good solid RPG.

this game so boring and pointless.

when I first got the game I thoght the graphic in the game were super cool. and the abilities of using magic and all..
then..

1) people just talk so damn much, and when you lose your interest to read all that useless crap and clicking it away.. and you later find out that you've missing something like- you are suppose to go look for some monster or something. then you tap on them again.. some won't repeat it instead tell you to have a nice day!

2) during battle, the game is setted in a program that everybody can only take 1 term, and 1 term only. so when the characters were attacking by the monsters, they can't run a way or defence themselves or anything at all. just stand there and get hit.
I mean... WHat the HELL?!!!!
I found myself craching the screen with my stylus hoping that might help the defenc. however, that was helpless.. eventho some carrot things rounding around told you it would.

3) some mission just so unclear!! now I am running around wood planet killing whatever monster that shows up; and don't know what the hell I was suppose to do.

don't waste you money on this game.

DS fun.

Yes, I sold my copy but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy this game because I did! The characters were all different and colorful. The story wasn't too bad and the different planets were cool.

Don't think this game was a piece of cake though because after a while it wasn't. I got confused and tripped up a few times and I almost finished it. I had everyone, the water girl joining last, and I didn't know where to go or what to do so I quit.

Using the DS's lower screen with the little stick to go through menus was fun for a while. The graphics weren't bad but could've been a little better. Controls were easy enough to manage.

3.8 stars.

Potential unfulfilled

This game has terrific design---it's one of the best-looking games on the DS. The colors are well-chosen, the character models are good, and the use of the dual screens, particularly during boss battles, is clever. Unfortunately, the combat is way too shallow---or at least it is during the first ten hours, and I didn't have the patience to play any further. It might be a nice "My First RPG" for very little kids, but otherwise, enjoy the screenshots and pass on the game.

If you like Final Fantasy or other magic games this is the game for you!

This game is great. The game battles are the same as final fantasy. I love this game but I don't want to spoil that much so all I can say is you use magic and THE RABBIT IS BEST FOR THE BOOK OF THE COSMOS ONLY. You Must get this game! Lastly Train if you lose train and You get exp. depending on moster level and your level. Level up at 100exp.Upps forgot tell friends to get so you cand do Amigo mode, tag mode and get monster eggs here only. Oh get healers of health and magic points always.And give sugar stars to blue hats to make warps.

a nice game

after everything that has said.

I got a lot of enjoyment and fun out of Magical Starsign and while the character design might not be for some. I didnt really find myself focusing on that. I was actually getting it to the characters and all that they were going through even though one of my pet peeves about leads in video games seems to be repeated here...no voice at all. He(she) the head guy in this thing you should hear more from them and about them...like what they are going through and what not as the adventure progresses.

But again it's not enough to keep me from enjoying the game. Where you basically start off as a student at this magical school and are waiting for class. When your teacher says that she needs to tell/show you a few things about magic casting and what not. As she promptly has to go on this very long trip and may not come back from it. This happens the students go on and the teacher doesnt come back from the trip. So they decide to "borrow" these rockets that are all over the school...i have no idea why. But we'll leave it at that.

They all go their seperate ways as the lead character and one of the female characters are able to activate this gate and get access to one of the hidden rockets and take off in search of their teacher. The other students unaware at the time do the same and end up different planets throughout the planetary system. You run across and recruit them back into your party while running down the story of what happened to your teacher and more actually interesting back stories on why she left in the first place eventually come to light.

The battle system is easy to use with the stylus and the menu can be accessed this way also. Magic is big in the game of course. You learn new spells both offensive and defensive throughout the game the come in very handy. You are also able to format your party in different lines..so your more powerful (higher hit point) characters will be in the front able to fight and use magic on a single enemy. While people in the middle can't fight but can use magic to affect enemies all at once and the same for the back row. Which i used for the characters with the least amount of hit points to not take too much damage (still happens sometimes).

The game has a very satisfying ending and i won't tell it or anything. But it's a nice send off to a game that for less than 20 dollars will occupy a good deal of your time as you from planet to planet (7 or 8) i believe.

Its a great game and can be played by people of all ages and is easily accessible and fun to boot.
