I own this game, and it is not worth the time and effort. the story leaves a lot to be desired. there were better games for the genesis, super nintendo than this game. After playing it for 30 minutes, i packed it up and walked away. you will be truly dissappointed by this

Not So Beyond Anything

The plot is very thinly developed. It plays out as if someone stole a copy of the first stage of brainstorming for a Final Fantasy game--i.e. very weak and underdeveloped. It might have had some merit if the developers had simply scratched below the surface of the storyline and given it some depth. Although it does feature some hidden optional characters, the time between save points can be frustrating.

Probably the PS1's worst RPG

I was given this game by a friend who didn't want it anymore. Now I see why he was so quick to just give it away. This game is the worst of all RPG's. Weak story, repetitive gameplay, bad music, and graphics that make me wonder whether this is a Playstation game or a GameBoy Color game. Stay away from this at all costs. You'll see it selling for about $2.99 at some ebgames stores. The price is that low for a reason.

A Fun RPG

I don't know what it is with all the negative reviews here on this game. Yes, it's not Final Fantasy but it wasn't meant to be one. I found it to be entertaining just the same. If you go into it not expecting Final Fantasy, then you might find a good RPG in it. For RPG fans only.

ooooooooookay. This Video game is not only the worst RPG but the worst video game ever me and Jimmy Stillson agree and we dont agree on much. Okay I want you to buy this video game so u will apreciate good video games like Xenogears and Saga Frontier. God even Tonka Space staions better than this. I bought it at a store ya see I kinda wondered why it was so cheap. You get in a battle so often you never leave one spot. But do buy it you could never Imgane how bad it is untill you played it. If u like Woodywood Pecker racing you just might like this and you just might be a bad video game lover too. Peace

Playstation's 1st RPG

Not too complicated, yet entertaining, this first foray into fantasy RPG's by Playstation was great fun without being particularly unforgiving like some other games. The main downside was the constant combats; you couldn't walk three feet without an encounter. Also, judging which of the three late stage additions to the party should be allowed to judge to 5 person roster was cumbersome. Nveer mind waiting forever to get Samson's curse lifted! Still, a pleasure all the same.

eh....what can you say

Well, I've been playing RPGs for quite some time now.(Since all the Dragon Warrior games on NES) This was an RPG, but that's all that really stands out about it. haha. Hardly any replay value, linear storyline, easy to solve puzzles, no character development(hardly any at all), and OLD graphics. This had to be like the first RPG they made for PS. The graphics bring back memories though. haha. I enjoyed it overall but wouldn't bother to play it over again.

My opinion on this game.

When I got this game I thought it would be really cool, but I was wrong. Here are things that are bad in this game. First of all the music isn't that great and it can get really annoying to listen to, especially the battle music. Second the battle system stinks because at the beginning of the game you start out with 11 hit points! In most other RPGs you start out with over 100. Also some items in the game are too expensive to buy because you don't get very much gold from battles. Basically this game is the worst RPG, so don't buy it.

Killed by a fatal flaw

I bought the game. I started playing into it. When i go on a journey to this tower monster battles happen more and more often.

In the tower they happen so often by the time you have figured out what direction your facing after a battle your already in another battle. A battle about every 2 squares(easy battles too. but time consuming) is enough to drive anyone batty. Because of of the frequency of battles in some spots(way more then any other rpg game ive played.) this game become worthless. The only rpg game that i have that i haven't finished and do not intend to finish.

Im sure the programmers intended to pad the hours playing with frequent battles but they just manage to turn the game into a worthless "paper weight"

Classic gameplay with bad graphics

Beyond the Beyond is one of the most 'classic' RPG's on the Playstation. It has poor graphics and bad character animation. For instance, every emotion in characters is expressed by a couple of white lines over the character's head. The battles are pretty fun, and gameplay is challanging. If I had to choose, I wouldn't buy it again though.
