    Boring and uninspired gameplay combined with the most dull and cliché story/characters makes for a very unappealing experience. The puzzles are an insult to the players intelligence. People are seriously looking back at these games through rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia. One has to wonder how we managed to play these subpar games 15 years ago. The only redeeming factor is the soundtrackBoring and uninspired gameplay combined with the most dull and cliché story/characters makes for a very unappealing experience.

One has to wonder how we managed to play these subpar games 15 years ago. The only redeeming factor is the soundtrack and it's not even something you will find memorable which says alot about the game. Stay away from this title... for your own sanity.… Expand

    The original Wild Arms is my favorite game by far, so when Alter Code: F arrived, I almost wet myself.... Until I bought the game. While story, graphics, and certain parts of the game have been enhanced, I was disappointed with other parts of gameplay that have been taken out from the first one. For instance, the amount of items to collect and how to collect them are seriously lacking.

    This game is just too great! I remembered the original one in playstation one and it was already superb then. i almost cried myself to sleep the night i bought the game. Great graphics, excellent gameplay, perfect storyline makes the game a must have for any RPG fans.

    It seamlessly combines a fantasy setting with a Wild West motif that makes the game enjoyable to play through.

    It's a little linear, a little easy, and a little unattractive, but the characters still have a lot of personality, the dungeons are actually fun to navigate, and there's enough extra content here to keep you busy for quite some time.
