    I don't know what it was about this game, but I just couldn't get into it. The game looked good and everything, I just didn't get invested in the story.

    Arcade adventure cum RPG in which it takes an absolute age to get anywhere and when you finally do, you wonder why you bothered. It looks quite nice and has a quirky sense of humour but the simplistic combat and gameplay that seems to consist of nothing but endless, pointless conversations with NPCs left me very cold.

    In conclusion, this is a pretty good game, but I doubt I'll add it to my library since it isn't that difficult and doesn't have any lasting value.

    An enjoyable, fun-filled game which should keep you puzzling for a long time to come.

    Mystical Ninja had a nation of young adults spiking and dying their hair. Or not. [Jan 2004, p.189]
