Evolution Worlds

"Play A Bit, Take A Break, Play A Bit, Take It Back......"

Controls-
the controls are simple and easy to master as most RPGs should be. it even has a jump button which is rare, but i love it because it really give you the feeling of freedom, it doesnt really have an action button which kind of sucks since i am a zelda kind of guy so it takes a little getting used to...the controls are still everything you could ask for in an RPG, which really doesnt come easy by me (i am a perfectionist) so i gave it the premium score, which is honestly what it deserves but other than this the game fails a little bit
Score-10

Gameplay-
The gameplay is very very tedious....dungeon after dungeon after dungeon of nothing but enemies and the puzzles honestly arent even that hard, in fact i wouldnt even call them puzzles! I played one dungeon each day and some of the dungeons near the end took me about 2 hours each to complete ARGH!! The choices for the party are few and it sucks you HAVE to play with Linear up until you need her...then she's gone, alot of aspects are good, i enjoyed the story line but a story isnt everything in a game so...
Score-6

Graphics-
Many of the graphics are beautiful and colorful...i said many, the dungeon graphics are horrible!!!! WITH A CAPITAL H!! they could have done so much more but all the walls and floors look the same, they just change between dungeons. But the Overworld was very well done and i liked the Anime style characters so that brings the score up a bit. The enemies also look pretty righteous but most of them are just the same enemies with the colors changed up...Blah! how unfair!
Score-7

Replayability-
HA! dont make me laugh this game is just about worthless after you beat it with each extra character...probably not even worth that but i bought it so i tried to squeeze every ounce of game play out of it but i had very little luck, oh well this game comes off strong but if you try to play it through again you WILL be bored out of your mind!!
Score-2

Overall-
I enjoyed this game and it took me about a month to complete (doing all the side quests) paying off the debt and getting all the artifacts doesnt do anything but i think i am one of few people to have completed EVERYTHING in the game which makes me proud! i say this game is definitely AT LEAST worth a rent!
Score-6
