    It is such a rip off, you cant even get the secret characters! The story is ok and the attacks are fine but its only worth buying for the PS2! That way you get more runes, secret characters, and even more modes. DONT GET IT ON THE GAMECUBE!

    This game is awsome you get to fight big masses of armies use magic and play with your friends. if your not an action guy than rent it before you buy it and don't get it at Horton Plaza Electronic Boutique. trust me I know.

    This game is extremely sweet! Smooth gameplay as well as smooth quality graphics and effects. Not just a typical 'kill all' game, though it is teh basic idea, it makes you think more strategically and some of the secrets are supurbly awesome! (the S2 rune makes youincredibly fast and formidable).

    Yeah its definitely a great game! beautiful magic effects and sword slashing action! after a while it might get a little bit boring but once you found a new rune or magic skill your back in the game! and the review of that there are just 4 chars is just bull because when you complete survival and story mode you can get up to 8 characters!!(well i heard)wich lengthens the gameplayYeah its definitely a great game! beautiful magic effects and sword slashing action! after a while it might get a little bit boring but once you found a new rune or magic skill your back in the game! and the review of that there are just 4 chars is just bull because when you complete survival and story mode you can get up to 8 characters!!(well i heard)wich lengthens the gameplay enormous!! and dont forget the multiplayer wich is really cool! its just all great!

    One of the best games i have played on the gamecube. non stop action from the start and great graphics with good movie story line. no stupid miny games and searching for keys. this game is hard on the easy settings and must have for 4 player mode.

    It looks awesome and the 4 player co-op is unbeatable.

    The frantic fighting and creative spell-casting are highly addictive, and the difficulty is where I'd want it to be. [Oct 2002, p.86]
  2. An action game with appealing and simple gameplay but with flat characters and no connective tissue.

    Nonstop action through and through. [Sept 2002, p.164]
