GameSpot was right...
The graphics are great, and the overall "plot" of the game is interesting. I like the idea of a village and a house and stuff.
It seems like this game has a lot of potential, but when you're constantly trying to adjust the camera angle, you don't have much time to swing your sword, or drink any healing potion.
There's also a LOT of reading in this game, especially in the training sessions. My head started to hurt after a while. And I don't think all of the translation carried over from Japanese. The PSP screen is small enough, I don't want to spend 80% of my time reading.
I'm going to trade this game in for something fun.
