    An average game that employs the same battle system as numerous other Japanese-style dungeon crawls. Unfortunately, when you have seen so many, it is hard to get excited about another.

    Its fundamentals are solid enough, but too bland and redundant. [Jan 2003, p.78]

    What the deal with the blander-than-bland texturing? If I wanted to be lulled to sleep, I would read a selection from Minnesota's penal code. [Feb 2003, p.104]

    Any kind of story or action present in the game is quickly drowned by the boring repetition that drags this title down like a quagmire.

    The same players who found relentless, party-balancing corridor fighting ultimately frustrating in a cute, cartoony game like "Evolution Worlds" won't find it any more refreshing here just because it's wearing a darker, spookier "Aliens" costume.

    This game is more of an action adventure without the combat. It's also a little shy on action and adventure.

    Does one thing and one thing only: it adds one more RPG to the Xbox line-up, and whether or not that's a good thing depends on how desperate you are for a dungeon crawl.

Très limité et répétitif, cet étron très vaguement vidéoludique a été sous-développé par un studio japonais qui a boulotté vite fait mal fait cette "exclusivité" pour la première Xbox. Rien à en dire de plus, ce serait lui faire trop d'honneur, Votre Honneur. Bourreau, faites votre office.… Expand
