This game was pretty cool at first. When you do a quest you mainly only got 10,000 gold. (goes by really quickly.) The dungeons don't repop guys so you need to keep restarting the game (server if you are in mplayer). When my brother, cusion, and I played this game we played from about 3 in the after noon till 11:30 in the morning. We would have gone longer but my parents made us go to bed. So i definetly recommend this game.

Cool

Its quite obvious why this is a ... title. Basically a very mediocre RPG. You can only play as one character and one player and the graphics will bring back memories of your Atari 5200.

For those who long for PC-style RPGs

Truly a unique and pleasantly surprising Playstation game: good graphics, appropriate sounds, but above all a true old-school RPG in the style of Diablo. You can hire NPCs, you can purchase all kinds of equipment as you go, and finally: You can rotate the camera! Thank heavens Take 2 and Delphine finally got what so many RPG makers don't: we like to see multiple angles.

At ..., you really can't miss. I would recommend this game at three times that price. If you're tired of japanese-style RPGs and wish your Playstation was a PC sometimes, this game is for you.

Bargain title, not a bad game!

I've just read some reviews for the game all over the net. Everyone is trashing it...and I really don't understand why. Is there a certain rule that bargain games cannot be good? Must a game cost fifty bucks for it to be good? That's what all magazine reviews seem to be leaning towards. Don't listen to them, it's just their opinion anyway. They're a bunch of spoiled babies who sit there and get paid to write ridiculous reviews on games like DS. I just got the game today, wanted to check out what it was like and surprisingly I found myself playing it for 2 hours. Bottom line is that if you like Diablo, you will probably like this game. Same style, same type of dungeons, same everything. Don't be fooled by those spoiled losers that work for these magazines who are trashing this game in their reviews. Just because it's not made by Squaresoft doesn't mean it cannot be fun. I've had more fun playing this game than I did Vagrant Story and that got great reviews. That's the last time I'll trust magazine reviews...it's all opinions. Can't lose price-wise on this one, and even if you don't like it as much, you won't be banging your head against the wall for buying the "editor's choice/pick" and finding out that a supposedly bigger, more expensive game is no different graphically than the one I'm writing this review for.

Here's the rundown on the game (1 worst - 10 best)

Graphics: 6 We've seen better graphics on playstation, but hey, this wasn't meant to be state of the art...then again, neither was Frogger but we played that for months now, didn't we?

Control: 8 Can you rotate the camera view at any time in Vagrant Story? I think not. Button-smashing (as some of the reviews claim)? Not at all. Movement could feel more realistic, but we're not here to complain.

Fun Factor: 10 After spending 2 hours with the game, it's about as much fun as Diablo was when I opened up the game and popped it in for the first time. How much longer will this last? Who knows.

Music: 6 Average sounds, nothing phenomenal...

In true Amazon fashion, I give this game 4 out of 5 stars.

Sweet Game

It was pretty good although it would be better on the PC or PS2

Try the PC version instead!

Long have I had the PC version of Darkstone, and last month I purchased the playstation version, it was HORRIBLE!! it wasnt worth the 10 dollars, instead i returned it to the store and reinstalled the PC version and played it that way. there's no 2-character usage in the playstation version, and the graphics are way worse, my PC is a 96' PC and it plays much better on it. I extremly highly reccomend the PC version, but the playstation version stinks.

Dungeons Away!!!!

I just have to say that what Damadone said is right, a game doesn't have to be expensive to be fun, I just rented it tuesday from family video and I think it's an awesome game in the diablo sense of game play, I've been playing this game anywhere from 4-5 hours a day since I got it and when I have the money I'm gonna go buy it. I can't seem put down the controler for very long unless it's to eat, get something to drink, or sleep!!(or Shower,so I don't stink Too Much)

WOW!!!

I LOVE THIS GAME!! You might think it sucks because it is only $... and not very popular. If you are a smart kid and like old castle times you will think this is your favorite game and play it constantly. The graphics arent as great as some, but you dont notice them unless you think about it. this is my favorite game and I would suggest buying it because it is only $... and if you dont like it (which you would) then you wouldnt feel it is a waste of money. the fun part is getting lots of money and looking at all the neat weapons and spells and armor and all that stuff, and picking out what to buy because it all looks really cool and would make the game alot funner. If you read this review you should know I really know what games are good and if I were you I would believe me and buy it because it is great!!
