    Has just about everything you're looking for in an action/adventure game. [Oct 2002, p.84]
  2. The game radiates beauty and wonder from every corner, and the end result is something special.
  3. Technically, the framerate takes a hit here and there in some of the more ornate levels. It's noticeable, but it doesn't disrupt the flow of action.
  4. The game is also quite easy. Baku is able to practically heal on demand, so even boss fights basically go on until you win.

    A quality, enjoyable action-RPG...On the strength of DH's story alone, you have an RPG worth not only playing but owning. [Oct 2002, p.179]
  6. It does have a fanciful quest, endearing characters, and solid Zelda-style gameplay, and this should more than satisfy true fans of the genre.

    A enjoyable game with great combat, challenging bosses, and perhaps the most likable duo of main video game characters. Shame this wasA enjoyable game with great combat, challenging bosses, and perhaps the most likable duo of main video game characters. Shame this was shrugged off by the Kingdom Hearts release, this really is a unique game that needs to be experienced. Full Review »
