    The way the game loaded was very frustrating at times. While you were running across the fields, the game would stop dead cold and just load for a two minutes. The fighting was kind of good, although it was a bit clunky at times. The story was kind of average, the quests were repetitive.

    The Dialogues were kind of confusing. Why did they put voices in the cutscenes but not in the actual    The way the game loaded was very frustrating at times. While you were running across the fields, the game would stop dead cold and just load for a two minutes. The fighting was kind of good, although it was a bit clunky at times. The story was kind of average, the quests were repetitive.

    The Dialogues were kind of confusing. Why did they put voices in the cutscenes but not in the actual game? Despite this, the voice acting was surprinsingly good, when you did have some. The open world was well designed, but the caves were way too ard to navigate around. i was stuck in the cave looking for the sister for about three hours.

    I feel like there was so much potentiol for the AI to be better, but the ennmies were just reatrds that ran in straight lines. If there was a wall, they would keep walking into it. The friendly NPCs were even more retarded. They just stood there being weird. The graphics were simple yet beautiful. The soundtrack was nice. I still have the songs in my head today! I have discovered very little bugs.

    Overall, this game is worth buying if you could find it for less than 10 bucks.    … Expand

    Now to be fair before I start this, I have only played about the first hour or 2 of the game, so I can't say how the whole game is. Anyway, I really tried getting into this game, but it was kind of bland and boring to me. Well, not all of it. There was moments that I felt could have been pretty good...if the voice acting was a bit better and the cut scenes weren't so bad looking.

There was moments that I felt could have been pretty good...if the voice acting was a bit better and the cut scenes weren't so bad looking. The graphics are meh, but the frame-rate of the cut scenes are bad. The frame-rate for the game itself is pretty good though, it's just too bad the game overall (at least from what I played) was...meh. Maybe it gets better later on, but from what I played, it just wasn't too appealing.… Expand

    It's a bit too simple and easy to play this game and the loading time is too long

    Simple, clean, straightforward and bland, Neopets is a baked potato without fixings, a bed without blankets, a cake without frosting, or a chair without cushions... It's a minimalist's action adventure.

    A much stronger license than it is a game, as it's plagued by overly expansive environments and poorly realized combat sequences.

    A surprisingly strong game that does so many of the fundamental things right. Smooth, colorful graphics, a respectable score, a working camera (I can't stress this enough), and a 15-20 hour action-adventure quest are good points for which almost any game should strive.
