This game in my opnion is a great game, the overall design is awsome! Graphics - 5 Stars Play - 4 Stars Sound - 4 Stars

Lots of thinking, and interacting involved in this one!

This demo is quite something

The demo features excellent graphics and gameplay that is superior to any Final Fantasy (the game that it most closely resembles). The fact that my cousin did some of the monsters makes it even cooler.

Only game I've ever played more than once

I loved Summoner! So much so that it's the only game I've ever played again - and again. I won't go over the story and the graphics and the gameplay - it's all been done.
What I found most enjoyable about Summmoner was the deversity of the main characters and that you get to play each of them at one one time or another. My favourite character was Flece, her theif, stealth and backstab skills made her an extraoridinary and likeable character to play.
The main map exploration and random encounters were a wonderful change from the usual. You could end up battling undead, fire salamnders, samurai, woodsmen, almost anything, and they all added to your XP and made you stonger for the Boss Battles, not to mention dropping great treasure.
The settings were all different, you can find your characters in sewers, in a monastry, a palace, church, town, underground city, tree-lined streets, swamp and even on a ship.
The combat 'chaining' system is a real challenge and you can't help but become intimately involved in this turn-based combat. Timeing is of the essence and your reflexes better be good, the more you chain, the more damage you do and the less chance your opponent has of getting a chance to have a go at you.
Summoner is my all-time-favourite game and I know I'll be playing it again soon.

XP Home/SP2 Review

The game screen freezes 5-10 times per hour.
No pattern to these lockups: during a fight; just walking; picking up an item; cutscene etc...
ALT+CTRL+DEL won't always close the program ... I have to manually crash/power down the computer
I have installted patch v1.40; no help.
My SYS SPECS(... one year old computer) are much higher than the requirements.
THQ doesn't respond to e-mails for this game ... I did send one about a new game and received a reply = guess older games aren't high on their $upport(... no money in it for them)
There is no game knowledge base at THQ for Summoner ?

The game looks intereting and the reviews are positive.
So, those with earlier OS(...WIN 2000 not supported = mentioned upon installation) would do well to give this game a try.

I'm surprised a game from 2001 won't run on XP Home/SP2.
Just played one from 1996 and had no problems.

A Sadly Overlooked Game

This game is, simply put, an incredible work for its time. Graphics are unimportant to me, but they're good in this game for the time it was made. More importantly it's an RPG that mixes some elements of action, witout losing any length or depth. Think Knights of the Old Republic only with traditional RPG depth and open endedness and more action packed battles (sorry, no light sabers though). Summoner still has an immersive world filled with interesting characters which can grow and lose hands and things. If you enjoy the character building and intelligence of RPGs but you get tired of slow-paced turn-based fighting, this game is for you.
