This game is great for those who like rpg`s, although I should warn you that it is very different from final fantasy.If you`ve ever played Vagrant Story, you`ll have a much better idea of how it plays.The battles occur in real-time,you`ll find none of that turn-based stuff here.This helps keep it very exciting, as you constantly fight against monsters.On the downside, if you are new to rpg`s, you`d better give this one a miss, as at times, it is incredibly hard.But if you are looking for something different than final fantasy, give this one a go.

Okay, sort of pointless

It's a pretty good game with great archetecture. Other visuals are sort of blocky. The game play is addicting, but can be repetitive.The best part is in the credits, if you press the x button, it goes into a hilarious scene where the characters are playing an RPG, including a monster outside the door asking for cheetos and a mountain dew. I would recommend it to haardcore RPG gamers, but to others it may be bore.

I love a good RPG. Their is nothing like exploring a new world. Taking on a new life. In short getting away from yourself for a while. A good RPG will do that. It's too bad nobody told the people at THQ about any of that.

This game could be summed up in one word. Boring. Nothing much happens. When it does, you hardly notice. It's story does nothing to draw you in.

The graphics are ok at best. Not the game to show off your PS2 that is for dang sure. Pop-in is horrible and I am surprised how Sony let this little gem slip by for the launch. Not really a game that shows off what the system can do.

Some odd things make it into the game. The people for one thing. They are in a word, ugly and so is the guy you control. I am not sure what the artists were thinking but ... These are some ugly folk! I am not saying they are not well done, they are. The problem is that they actually look ugly. Very odd choice.

The game play is so boring you may find that after about 20 min, you just don't care anymore. The Quests are boring. The locations are boring. Even the story is ho-hum. Nothing much is going on in this world.

The music and voice acting are quite good but the game just never gets any momentum going. It feels lifeless and your role in that world seems aimless.

A good RPG is a work of art. A gentile balance of game and story line. If FinalFantsty and Zelda are like a Pollock or a Picasso then this game is paint by numbers portrait of a clown and some balloons.

I think the game is a entertaining idea. I am very disappointed in the fact that I think the game has a bug and can not be switched to solo play. This is very important because you can not complete the quest.

Nice Try

I purchased this game with the expectations of something new. I was terribly surprised when I loaded SUMMONER and although it had some impressive graphics much of the gameplay was as simple as POKEMON Silver Version that I purchased for my 7 year olds' Game Boy.

The problems start with the horizons and move right into your first RPG conversation which is all in text. You would think that for a game of this generation that many of the characters would at least talk to you, even if your response was text scripted. The fight scenes are distant and not that exciting once you've mastered the chain moves.

I did like the story board and once in town the game was playable but, only until you have gotten your 50th or 60th quest (far too many). I gave this game two stars because I am not a true RPG fan but was hoping this one would win me over...It didn't.
