Got me going for hours and hours.
The Story is excellent. You travel as a young warrior with his companions from city to city. Almost every city has a little tragedy. Is the crystal ball of a sorcerer gone, is the major kidnapped or is the king unhappy, you are the guy to set things straight. The main story is, that a king and his daughter were cursed and their castle, too. The king was transformed to a little frog-like being and the princess was transformed to a horse. The bad guy, called Dhoulmagus did it. Now you have to find him and make him pay.
The Graphics are awesome. Akira Toriyama has outdone himself again in terms of art. The character models are all cel-shaded nicely. Everything in this game has a very cartoonish look, what's really exciting to watch.
The Sounds are good, too. The voice-acting was done properly and they told the story good. The fighting sounds are all basic, so no real excitment there. The music however, IS exciting. The game has a very original sountrack.
The Gameplay is old-school. During the fights, there are no flashy graphics or stylish explosions. You just choose an attack, ability, spell or defend and that's pretty much it. There are still SOME effects, but they aren't awesome.
The Animations are properly done.
Giant variations in armor and swords.
Humor is there and it's good.
What more do you want?
I recommend this game for everyone. If you like RPGs and own a PS2, then grab this game. You won't be disappointed.
