    Finally PS2 has a decent RPG. Granted you have to get past the graphics but that battle engine just had me wanting to play more and more.

    A treasure trove of interesting and creative ideas, all melded to form a title that falls short of a classic, but will fill in the niche void for the console's RPG fans.

    It's not the deepest game, nor is it lengthy by any means, but it is fun, despite the long periods of walking and talking.

    It isn’t a bad game; it’s just not exceptionally good, either.
  5. PSX Nation

    Clever, but not nearly clever-enough to overcome the dull and boring predictability "Tsugunai" [exudes] as it unfolds at a maddenigly slow pace.

    Occasionally you'll get the chance to move on and actually fight monsters, but it seems like forever and a day in between those moments.

    Many of the interesting concepts in T:A llose their appeal shortly after the umpteenth quest to help some tortured soul in town.
