Legend of Mana

"...brilliant artwork, great music... Creating the setting is up to your imagination... more dynamic fighting experience... feels too broken up..."

"...heart of Legend of Mana's gameplay is the new "land creation system."... overbearing sense of fragmentation and isolation... omission of an adequate multiplayer mode... new battle techniques help keep things from becoming too boring... a lot to do in this game..."

"Character development is a mixed bag. The main character has no personality, doesn't speak, and so forth. The rest of the inhabitants of Fa'Diel have various levels of development - depending on how many quests they're involved in."

"The gameplay in Legend of Mana is, like the story, unconventional, in that it's not like your typical RPG. The game centers around the "Landmake" system, which is basically Square's term for allowing you to place the towns and dungeons where you want to on the map."
