    "The Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road" (also known as "RIZ-ZOAWD") is a Japanese-made, anime-style, and relatively faithful adaptation of L. Frank Baum's classic tale, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", and despite the slight repetition of battle mechanics, it is definitely a game to experience if you are a fan of the Oz stories.

    A cinch to pick up and play, but will be just as easily forgotten. [Oct 2009, p.90]

    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.

    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.
