Lunar: Dragon Song

"Lunar is not a bad game by any means. Most of the flaws mentioned in this review will fade to the background if players are in possession of huge amount of patience and an abundance of free time. Dragon Song features a bundle of original ideas, but fails to implement them in a fashion that stays entertaining throughout the course of the game."

"Even the most devout Lunar loyalists will have a hard time enjoying this game."

In the past, gameplay for Lunar titles has been simple and enjoyable. In an attempt to be innovative, Dragon Song changes that simplicity. The resulting innovation, however, is of the bad sort. It is a sharp lesson to be learned: "new" cannot be equated with "good."
