  1. The underlying game... remains quite good and features a strong cast of characters, unusual environments, and some pretty entertaining hack-and-slash combat.

    A lot of great ideas went into the game, but a clumsy battle system and frustrating camera prevent the game from realizing its full potential. [Mar 2003, p.135]

    Maia’s running animation is perhaps the silliest any main character in a game that was not intentionally funny has ever possessed.
  4. Electronic Gaming Monthly

    The game's combat fails to impress. This button-mashing free-for-all brawling just isn't very engrossing. [Mar 2003, p.134]
  5. Think of it as PSO I+II… though not as good and minus the online features. Make of that what you will.
  6. 60
    The story and characterization are better than in most console RPGs. But we were left wondering why these rookie mistakes are in a game with so much promise.
  7. I disagree with the "improved" character design, feel irked by the hateful camera, and in all, the game has aged in the short time between the PS2 and the Gamecube.
  8. A Goddess Reborn isn't the greatest RPG. It's not even the best one on the Gamecube. But, for those looking for a good story and a change of pace gameplay-wise, this title proves to be good enough.
