"The most underrated game ever"

For another review by me of this game go to Video Game Review (www.videogamereview.com) and find my name as Bobby Gushue from Canada.

Yes, you read correctly. The most UNDERRATED game ever. This game is very high quality and it rates among my best on the Dreamcast. But anyways, on with my review...

Presentation: Thank God, people are listening to me. No more text boxes. This game is full voices. You play as David, a young man living in a time when his homeland is ruled by an evil socerer. David is the man you play as. However, you are not limited to just him. You start with your Grand father by your side, who is not exactly the best fighter, but soon you meet many many others. There are many characters that you can choose to fight by your side. And you can play as anyone of them instead of just sticking with David. The story is excellent, and I won't ruin anything, but let's just say that the family has a few issues.

Graphics: Well, the game has very very detailed backgrounds and characters, but the only problem is it is very small. If you have eye trouble, you will die very quickly at this game. But, however, if you see well you should have not much trouble at all keeping your eye on your character at all times. Everyone from enemys to town folk have there own unique style of dress. The game can be very dark at times, but this adds effect to a dark game.

Sound: As I mentioned before, this game is all voice. And the voices are very well acted. From David's defiant speeches to the scared voices of some towns people, each character has there own unique voice. And the music fit excellently with the enviroment. In places that look happy and delightful, the music is very upbeat, but in dark and cold castles the music changes to eerie music. Very good job done here.

Overall: A very good game, but revolutionary it is not. Good? yes, great? maybe, but revolutionary? sorry, but no. Many good ideas have been implemented and the graphics and sound are superb. Could've have been a masterpice, but instead it just another good game.

Oh, and I decided to add this bit for those of you who are wondering if the game is worth your hard in cash. Well, like I always tell people, rent it first. If you like, buy it. The replay value is very high as you cannot get all the characters you're first time through the game, and there are places I only found the second time through. But remember, rent it first.
