    The game has a very cool Anime feel to it and a pretty good sense of humor as well.

    It's definitely a neat little game, but there's nothing about it that demands an immediate purchase. It has no real replay value, and the trading/collecting aspect isn't compelling.
  3. Gamezilla!

    The game's main drawback is its length. Though it's a fun ride, it's easily finished in a few hours, and it doesn't really follow its own storyline really well. Not to mention the incomplete nature of the game: instead of a payoff, it's obvious that there's a sequel in the works.
  4. Worth Playing

    With gameplay stuck in a mid-90's fad that was in itself considered arcane by any gamer's standards at the height of its popularity, Legacy of the Spirits troubles me with its thrown-together, "let's take advantage of a passing craze before it completely dies" feel.
  5. GameSpot
    60
    It isn't as comprehensive or glamorous as any of Nintendo's Pokémon games, but fans of the show will still probably enjoy it a great deal, since it will let them gather and build their own set of fighting spirits while also experiencing firsthand many of the stories told in the show.
  6. Game Chronicles
    60
    Unless you have some little relative who is just begging and begging and begging and begging you to get this for them then I'd say stay way from it.
  7. Cheat Code Central
    40
    A collecting RPG in the tradition of Pokemon - shamefully so. But instead of expanding on this style of gameplay that's already been done to death, The Shaman King sees fit to simplify it so that it offers a challenge akin to turning a water faucet on and off.

    Nice game, but sort of puzzling.

    Annoyingly short with a storyline that leaves you dangling at the end.
