The graphics and soundtrack warrant a look for their own sake, but it's a light-on-story alternative view of a classic, that's sometimes too easy, sometimes too hard, and never quite the enchanting game I hoped it would be.
-
A watered-down RPG with a few flaws that take some of the fun out of it. My first inclination was to compare the dilemmas in this game to those of the Scarecrow: No brain. But this game has maybe too much brain. It's very logical and Xseed definitely put a lot of thought into making it very playable. The problem with TWOBYBR, though, is more like the Tin Man's: No heart.

I would recommend this game to experienced RPG fans who want something light to play on the side but anyone expecting a worthwhile journey through Dorothy's adventures will walk away disappointed.

Beyond the Yellow Brick Road has its moments, but the novelty of strolling through the land of Oz soon wears thin.
-
It’s a simple, basic, kid-friendly RPG that has a few good tricks up its sleeves, and makes a nice round of gaming even for experienced players when they just don’t want to think too hard.
-
Yellow Brick Road starts out as a promising take on a classic fairytale. You'll quickly learn that you're not in Kansas anymore and see the game for what it is, a mixed bag full of elementary role-playing.

Nintendo PowerA cinch to pick up and play, but will be just as easily forgotten. [Oct 2009, p.90]
-
It's a shame that the battle system is as simplistic as it is, because the game has so much going for it, including a great plot twist, fantastic art direction and an ending that is a real tearjerker.
