A dazzling array of beautiful environments, unique characters, items, and an awsome story, make this title a must have!
Anyone who has played games like Elder Scrolls, Eternal Ring, or even Wizardry will feel right at home with this games style of play. Tack on some touch screen controls, mic. use, and an extra screen, and there you have it.
The controls themselves are the only negative in this adventure, namely attacking. The Lock-On system could've been a little more refined, and the swings can be difficult to "layer" one after another. If these minor issues don't bother you, (and honestly they shouldn't), than your good to go.
The games environments are beautiful, especially for the DS. Everything is highly detailed, from characters, enemies, right down to your own weapons. Though the game starts off in a series of repetitive fields, in which you must pass simple tasks in order to proceed, anyone with at least a small idea of what they are doing will get past this minor inconvenience in no time at all, and enter the labyrinth itself.
One of the best parts of this game is the music. Composed by legendary video game music producer Yasunori Mitsuda, you can rest assured that every song in the game sounds natural, beautiful, and conveys exactly what emotion the game developers had in mind.
What starts out as a slow, and seemingly cumbersome learning experience will undoubtedly turn into an addictive and fun adventure for anyone who picks up this title, which i highly recommend.
