    Opoona is a strange game. The character development is unoriginal and yet they are uniquely charming. The back rounds and worlds are vibrant and beautiful. The music is fun and chirpy. The real time battle system is fun and yet bad only do to there being no flee option and a time limit. The English translation is a bit weak and thus gets you confused.The job system is forced on you andOpoona is a strange game.

    If all you expect from your RPGs is groundbreaking graphics and tear-shedding cinematics, then Opoona is definitely not for you. On the other hand, if you look for a RPG that dares to stray far from the established rules of the genre, then this hidden gem in the Wii library might just be what you need, and is sure to provide loads of enjoyment -- as long as you know that it has some flaws before you jump in.

    While Opoona boasts nice backgrounds and music, and is fundamentally solid, it's definitely rough around the edges. [Apr 2008, p.87]

    Go to your local game store, hand the clerk your money, and buy something other than Opoona. [Apr 2008, p.95]
