    If players can get past the clumsy menu system and uninspired graphics, they’ll find themselves a great game.

    If there's a legend here, it's that this title fails to raise your heartbeat in almost any way. [Mar 2002, p.79]

    The Legend of Alon D'ar goes for the big story (which is lame in its own way) and the big RPG feeling - but falls short on both counts.

    Few things are more tedious than a "sprawling RPG" without any real wit, style, or engaging characters. [Dec 2001, p.108]

    Of course misery loves company. So call up someone you hate, and invite them over for hours of terminal and ponderous gaming. Whee!

    Although it features reasonably unique character designs, interesting concepts, and a huge explorable world, Legend of Alon D'ar fails in execution with substandard quality in nearly every respect.

    The real-time battle system is such a mess that you’ll get either incredibly bored or overwhelmed in no time. [Mar 2002, p.108]

    This game is a little slow, but the story is quite unique and there is a lot of cool lore and imaginative characters, monsters, lands. TheThis game is a little slow, but the story is quite unique and there is a lot of cool lore and imaginative characters, monsters, lands. The combat system is tough to get used to, and certainly not perfect. But it's still entertaining. It is hard in the beginning. The game is very long, but i like an RPG that lasts a long time.

    I agree the story is a bit slow, but the game itself is great to play. This is definitely a good RPG for the PS2 which are hard to find.

    I feel great pity for Wanda. I think you need to expand your life beyond video games, and A.J. I worry for anybody that would buy this game. I feel great pity for Wanda.
