    There have been a rash of bad-to-mediocre RPG's for the PS2 lately, and this one rises above the dreck with the combo system and the solid graphics and sound.

    In essence, it seems for every good point to the game there's also a negative counterpoint in the same category.

    A tough love of a game. You won't get into it right away, and for the first few hours you'll be finding yourself swearing more than playing. But with a little patience, and a few grains of salt, it becomes a rather fun RPG.

    Controlling three characters simultaneously is a breeze, and the complex combo system makes trouncing enemies fun. [Feb 2002, p.156]

    A game with no real outstanding qualities. That said, if the core gameplay is enough to hold your interest and if you enjoy collecting rare items, the game may be worth a purchase.

    Just doesn't quite provide enough bang for your buck. [Iss #54, Jan 2002]

    The multiple-character combos are a nice touch, but the execution is so poor as to make it a moot point. [Feb 2002, p.106]

    Played and enjoyed this two decades ago. But returning to it, I find the controls have aged poorly. There is also steep difficulty curve aboutPlayed and enjoyed this two decades ago. But returning to it, I find the controls have aged poorly. There is also steep difficulty curve about halfway through the game and a lot of backtracking. But if you can overcome that you’ll have a good time. The plot and puzzles are good. And the OST is outstanding, probably better than many recent FromSoft games.… Expand
