    "Nickleback" is to "Led Zeppelin" what "Citizens of Earth" is to "Earthbound". It isn't the developer's fault that depresses me so much, it's that I couldn't help but realize how far we've fallen from the peak when trying to enjoy this. Once you've experienced the best there is, is there really a point trying to find ways to enjoy something that can't even hope to be remembered as a shadow"Nickleback" is to "Led Zeppelin" what "Citizens of Earth" is to "Earthbound".

    So, it wasn't worth the wait, it wasn't worth the "hype" and it wasn't worth the money.

    It a generic JRPG with a identity crisis. It has some intresting ideas it throws around, but for the most part the game does what is 90% wrong with JRPGS.

    I am almost positive the biggest driving force behind ANY of it's sales is that it made an attempt to identify with Earthbound, which to be honest is ridiculous. It lacks the art, humor and soul of Earthbound.

    The game substitutes any sort of meaningful character progression by having 40-ish party members, none of them being interesting, meaningful or deep. All of the character abilities and commands are just re-hases of other ones under different names.

    Don't even get me started about the gear and equipment system which is obviously implemented to increase gameplay time, not enchance gameplay.

    The developers should be ashamed. Just terrible. I really wantred to like it, but to be honest the ONLY reason why I wanted to like it was because of the Earthbound name drops. Outside of this, the game isn't special, it isn't unique and honestly it's not good.    … Expand

    Wow...I don't even have words to describe this. It's probably one of the most horrible games I've ever had the displeasure of playing. Horrible attempt at a cash grab, you'd probably have more fun playing tetris or pong

    Ultimately, it isn't Tales of Game's Presents Chef Boyardee's Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa, but it's a great way to pass a few chunks of time and you'll walk away satisfied.

    Pleasant exploration and interesting turn-based combat are unfortunately counterbalanced by too much backtracking, over-the-top number of fights and not very functional map. [05/2015, p.65]

    Citizens of Earth wants to be the new EarthBound but fails the target due to a poor character design, a weak story and a boring turn based combat.
