    All of it looks fantastic. If you can get past its silly "Pokemon with fairies" premise, Zanzarah will provide you with a fun, long, and challenging quest.

    While you could say that the game plays like a Pokémon clone, Zanzarah has some surprisingly great production values in terms of both art and music, though it could certainly have benefited from a better plot and more character development.

    In spite of the lovely world, the complexities of managing fairies, together with the difficult fights, brought this down to a thumbs up rating.

    its great, i don't know much about this game, and the first thing i noticed is that its like pokemon but much much better with its 3d its great, i don't know much about this game, and the first thing i noticed is that its like pokemon but much much better with its 3d graphics and battle scenes. i like this game! But i think some verbal actions to amy must be made. and another, let us, the gamers, choose which view to use while battling wiht other fairies. first person point of view is kinda boring sometimes and i can't see my fairy in action. but despite those, this game deserves 9 out of 10!… Full Review »
