    Adventures of Mana is likely the best version for the first installment of the Mana series. but the PlayStation Vita port is not as good as it could be.

    This game makes a 25 year old Game Boy game relevant for current gamers. It is true to the original, which makes it a lovely blast from the past to carry around with you.

    Adventures of Mana is a short, enjoyable, and addictive little trip back to the humble beginnings of handheld gaming and the wildly popular Mana series, and the improved graphics and dedication to reproducing the original game’s feel are evidence of this.

    To be sure, I never fully understood the end goal of what I was doing in Adventures of Mana. But, for whatever reason, that didn't bother me all that much. I can't say that the game has given me any insight whatsoever into why Final Fantasy — or even the Mana franchise — has endured for so long, but I can definitely say that if I'm looking for an easy-to-pickup RPG to play on the go, this is a game that's right near the top of my list.

    It may look like a cheap mobile game from screenshots, but this is actually a solid remake of Final Fantasy Adventure. The music and gameplayIt may look like a cheap mobile game from screenshots, but this is actually a solid remake of Final Fantasy Adventure. The music and gameplay are modernized while remaining faithful to the original, the menus are improved, and the graphics look pretty nice on Vita thanks to the game running at native res and 60fps.
    It's a basic game, but still enjoyable if you played it growing up or want something similar to the original Legend of Zelda with some Final Fantasy flair.    … Full Review »
