Setup-- 8
Setup was alright. The file is in pkzip form I think, but it wasn't too hard to setup to work right. When you start the game, THEN it warns what directory the game must be in...hmm...well...next thing. The game is in .RPG format, so it's easy to just cheat through the game, plus I accidentally hit 'shift' and got locked down...ARRGHH. Everything else was fine, though.
Story-- 9
Great storyline! The intro to the game was beautiful, and the game itself was at times damn hilarious. Although confusing at some times with all the names and the hey hey hey, it still worked out great. Nice use of effects and so forth. It made my game look like horse doodoo. The intro, though...that got me interested right away into the game, and nice selection of music, too.
Features-- 9
For one, the story is nice and clear, second, the dialogue is humourous, three, it rocks! The time changing in between events added great awareness of time during the game. But the main thing that caught my attention were the many many puzzles. The game is swamped with puzzles, although some could have been a bit more challenging, at least they weren't impossible, heh...battles had no fade in sound, and the music was that of FF8, the message boxes were solid, and so on. The currency is called Shur? Once again, the intro added to the content, and the grammar was almost flawless, and the game hooks you instantly. Don't worry about the warning at the beginning, parental discretion is not needed, it's not THAT graphic. Um...anything I left out? The only thing keeping it from 10 is the lack of originality in music choice. A change in music for bosses woulda been nice too. Otherwise everything in the game rocked, ugh...I'm getting repetitive.
Fun-- 9
You stay interested for a long time as soon as you begin this game. Definitely try it out for yourself and you'll get an idea. But there's just one boss that was way too hard, so I HAD to cheat to beat it. And sometimes events get tedious. This is about the first truly awesome RPG95 game I've seen so far.
Media-- 8
The sounds were all together, the music worked fine, and the selection of music was always great. However, it wasn't all that original, and the frequent changes in music somehow disrupted some of the moods. Very good anyway.
**OVERALL**-- 9.5 Okay, first off, Overall scores aren't graded by average, it's an overall opinion of the game itself, mainly because the average for this game was 8.6, but it definitely deserves much more! So our final word. The best game out there for RPG95 so far. GET THIS GAME!
