i dont care what people say this is one of the most underated game ever and for something so good thats a real shame.I remember the day i got this game and at the time it was my favoroute and remains to this day an incredibly underated game.i have no idea what some of the other revewiers are saying the games gameplay is really good and the controls are easy and only the most pathetic gamers would have trouble adapting to it.look this game deserves a 5 star average enough.

Okay, I got this at blockbuster and was imediatly adicted (I always am when I get a new game). the gameplay was really good at first, but then I noticed that you run out of cards really fast and there's no way to get them back (Untill you get a cetain card) I found that extremly frustrating.
Also, the controls are confusing at first then easy, after that the actual gameplay becomes confusing, with all the figuring out what card is what just by looking at a confusing picture.
This game was really fun but waaaay too short. I had had it beat in under 2 days.
Overall though, this game is very good and might last a while if you take it slowly and don't stay up all night playing it (Like me) You should probably get a used one too.

a piece of #@&?

A Let Down

I would like to start by saying that this game is by no means the hardest game you'll ever come across. The battle system can be a bit confusing and they lack clarity when explaining it to some extent. It is a difficult game but nothing overly hard.

The game's real downfalls are its graphics and music. The background music will get old fast. After an hour you'll want to hurl your gamecube into a wall. The graphics, while some think otherwise, aren't that great. The game does not use the gamecube's power.

All in all the game is a let down. If you really wish to give it a go I suggest renting it before you buy. It is by no means a game that is a must have. After a little while everything in it will drive you crazy but I suppose if you are willing to look past all its flaws it is an okay, short play.

Very Fun, But Short

When I first saw this game I thought that it looked JUST O.K. so I decided to rent it. I loved it! Two bad things about the game:
1)too short
2)you can't play a level again until you've beaten the game
The controls are very simple to use. You can capture anything(except bosses) in any level in the game(monsters also vary by level). The graphics for the summons are excellent. After a battle the screen will show you what cards gained experience points. With these points, you can go to the apothecary and make a copy of that card or transform it into a better card. The gameplay is very addictive. This is a must for any RPG lover.

[Alrighty, I saw a bunch of people writing 1 star reviews and complaining about how 'hard' this game is. I have to disagree. I mean, you'd have to be pretty braindead to think that this game has too hard of puzzles...and even MORE people were complaining about how you can only use a card once. Do you want this game to be that easy? This ain't a little 3-year-old game.]

Alright, now I'll start the good things. The graphics are very good, the backrounds are detailed, the music fits the level very well (which I LOVE in video games) and the battle style is very unique. The thing I like is that most of the levels look creepy and dark, like Hupon-Jen, for example... the controls can be a bit confusing at first, but you get the hang of it very quickly. All in all, this a wonderful game. Too bad so few people know about it.

When Lost Kingdoms came out, I rushed to blockbuster to rent it. I was very dissapointed. The gameplay was horrible compared to what it says you do on the back cover. You run around with cards that attack people, and I thought there would be animals you caught that you could use anytime instead of having a limit. This RPG is one of the worst games ever, so be hesitant when you purchase it.

Card game genre hit the gamecube

This is the best game that no one knows about. It is a card game based (like Magic: The Gathering) RPG. This makes the game very interesting and fun. The graphics are superb (considering 2001 release), sound is okay, and the controls are very intuitive. The game is relatively easy for an RPG, with occasional places of difficulty. The gameplay downside is that levels beaten can not be reentered until after beating the game. This is a great game for both card game and RPG fans and I look foward to Lost Kingdoms II.

Good... but Has a few quirks

Lost Kingdoms is a game that takes someone who will actually play this game and try to enjoy it. The par set on the graphics is surprising. This game was made in '01 and the fact that they look better then Sonic Adventure 2: Battle which is surprising as SA2B is a newer game. The card system is easy to use and even easier to learn. Many of the monster illustations are very unusual and fulfilling, like the first time you see the Blitzball scene at the beginning of Final Fantasy X. The only large downside that I see is that when you are in the field (which is the only place where you can actually fight) you can only carry thirty cards and when you use them once they're gone. So the only thing you can do when you run out of cards (they don't regenerate after battle) is die, or abort the mission. The 105 different cards don't give much of a challenge to collect, and there isn't much to do after you get all the cards, but some cards are very hard to find, and some can only be made by upgrading monsters. All in all, get this game to beat up some monsters, collect some cards, and have a good time. Have fun.
