    being an old geezer such as i am, i like this game. It has the comedy and such. It has the rpgin and such. If you took chrono cross and mixed it with old school dragon quest. It mite be something like this. No complaints. Only paid $4.95, keep that in mind 4sure homies.

    I don't know why critics are destroying this game. The best advice I can give you is that the demo plays JUST like the full game, so if you enjoyed the demo then you definitely need to buy it!

    Yes, there are striking similarities to EarthBound but Citizens of Earth really manages to create its own niche. The entire game is a big joke, not taking itself too seriously. If you are buying

    Yes, there are striking similarities to EarthBound but Citizens of Earth really manages to create its own niche. The entire game is a big joke, not taking itself too seriously. If you are buying this because you thought it was going to be a modern day EarthBound then of course you are not going to like it.

    When you start playing Citizens of Earth leave your preconceived notions at the door and don't take the game too seriously. If you're not laughing while playing, you're doing something wrong.

    A cheap ripoff of Eathbound, minus any fun or reason to care. Atlus wouldve been better off buying the Mother franchise and helping to finish and publish the fan produced Mother 4. Citizens is not worth the grind or the money.

    I've not been playing long but from what i've seen this is a pretty good game.Being an older gamer it reminds me a lot of the 16bit rpgs for super nintendo.That's a good thing.

    Citizens of Earth may entertain for a while, but I doubt it'll have any real lasting appeal.

    Citizens of Earth isn’t always right on point. The humor is spotty and predictable, but the combat system has enough depth to be engaging.

    Citizens of Earth contains straightforward, deep gameplay that veteran RPG players will appreciate. But it also builds a fun story with a memorable cast of characters. It balances gracefully between two audiences, finding a truly worthwhile alternative in the middle ground.
