This game is terrible, I've seen it for PS, and own it for PC, and I can't stand it! The graphics are terrible, the gameplay is too similar to Diablo 2, without the fun stuff like the Horodric Cube, or the range of items. Save your money, buy DII and Lord of Destruction... you'll feel better that you didn't waste your money.

where can I get a strategy guide for this game (playstation)

Now I know why there where not any screenshots on the back of the jewel case! If there where, They couldnt sell the game, Terrable graphics, Gameplay so-so, Little thought into quests and lvling up. Frankly, a disgrace to RPGs. Not worth the 10 bucks.

Might I suggest FFVIII?

Not severly under rated- Severly over rated

This game is just plain bad. I played it at my friends house and I got sick of the game in ten minutes. The graphics are the worst i've ever seen for an RPG. I know graphics aren't everything but this game is just lacking so much graphics. I think it was late at night and the producers hadn't slept in over a week when they were making the graphics for this game. I agree what another person said in their review 'you can literally beat the game while just pressing the X button.'

It also is very bad on the lighting effects. I entered a cave and it was pitch black. I just kept walking while tapping the X button and beat the cave.

I would give the game -100 stars if i could. Listen save your money. You don't know when a great game goes down to only only [price].

I know i'm a rookie at writing reviews, but at least listen to me halfway. RENT THE GAME FIRST. That way you only spend five dollars on a worthless title, rather than spend [price] or even [price] on this game.

This Game makes me vomit

To put it simply, I would rather undergo a visectomy via weedwacker than play this game again. When I first played it, I was convinced it was going to be good because I everything else about the game was good. It cost 7 bucks and I didn't even have to pay for it. The title was pretty good and the screenshots were appealing. When I played the game, I enjoyed it thoroughly. One of my friends later pointed out that I was in "Bad Game Denial." This game's graphics were comparable to Pong, and Arkanoid 1. It was so dark that I had difficulty distinguishing walls from crudely-drawn, sword-wielding skeletons. When running, attacking, casting spells, and performing simple actions, my character, regardless of who I chose, looked like a perturbed fetus. His/Her facial features looked very similar to a peach-colored grape. He was constantly hunched over like an old man facing arthiritis in virtually his entire body. My character's grunts when he was being hit were similar to the sounds that come from a rhinocerous in labor. The motion his body made when he swung a sword or staff or whatever were like a door on its hinges. I spent many hours after my realization laughing incontrollably like a psychopath at the sheer stupidity of it all.

Graphics: 4 I can only give it this much because of the chicken that runs around in town. That little guy made me laugh and he was well made.

Character Structure: 2 The characters, for the most part, looked like a pillow for their torso, and string beans for their arms and legs.

Storyline: 3 The basic story is that for some reason or another, you're supposed to collect 6 or 7 crystals. I got as far as the second crystal, but then, there just weren't anymore quests to do.

Gameplay: 4 You can cast a variety of spells and use more than a few different weapons. However, since it has a very Diablo style form of gameplay, (except not as good) it got old very fast.

If you want my opinion, don't buy this game unless you are someone who likes extreme pain. Rent it, maybe, just so that you can laugh at how bad it is, but other than that, just stay away.

not bad for the money

Awesome RPG

This is a great little RPG. It's definitely one of the best I've played, price notwithstanding. Mind you, "Darkstone" is a small, modest game that attempts to entertain you for a few hours and succeeds. One of my sisters (who normally refuses to get near RPGs), spent all day in front of the screen trying to figure this one out. According to her, she liked "Darkstone" because the fighting was more along the lines of an adventure game instead of the typical "flash to another perspective" fight screen of a RPG. Sure, it's a bit different but it works pretty well here.

Warning: don't buy this and expect some Final Fantasy knock-off or something, though. This is far more reminiscent of the old D&D RPGs they released for the PC years ago, but with a bird's eye perspective.

I do have a couple complaints: The instruction booklet isn't as informative as it could be, which can be frustrating if you are just starting off. Also, it takes 6 whole blocks of memory to save a game. Bleh. What's with *that*?

Other than that, this is a totally fun and addictive game for the rabid RPGer.

A pretty good game, that plays a little like Zelda

Darkstone is a fairly good game, with a good storyline, but the graphics arnt to good. You can take control of a wizard or a sorcerres or even a warrior. The control is easy and there are lots of different camera angles to chose from. You have to talk to villiagers and hermits, to gain clues in your quest to destroy an evil dragon. You also have to buy things from the blacksmith and other stores around the town. A quick hint, buy a shield and a helmet, because in the forest you will need them to battle with the goblins and skeletons that swarn through the woods during the game.

Darkstone for ps1

Darktone is a very enjoyable game for the price. And if a sequel would follow sometime in the future i would buy!
