    Outside of the charming (and yes, very girlie) story and genuinely humorous dialogue, all that's left is a short, extremely easy, and sometimes confusing RPG.

    It's a whole lot of “blah” in a tiny piece of plastic.

It might offer nothing new gameplay-wise, but the story is lighthearted and entertaining throughout. As the title suggests, it's a "musical RPG", meaning there are occasional musical numbers with actual voice during the story. They're surprisingly fun to watch (and you can replay them on the main menu if you like, which is a lovely feature) and add a nice touch. It's not going to win any awards, but I found it to be wonderfully fun to play and finish. And yes, it's very girlie, what with you saving a prince and all. I won't spoil the ending, but it's pure sugar, no substitutes.… Full Review »
