Soul Blazer

"A great game from ENIX!"

Soul Blazer - A great game from Enix indeed! A classic Action/Adventure game with alot of challenge to it.
It's an exciting game, with alot to do in it , so you will be playing it for a while before your done.

STORY - 8/10
The story is one of the most important part to the game, Soul Blazer has a decent story, and a cool character. You kill the evil monster to save the towns people. Not the games best part, but it's good.

GRAPHICS - 10/10
The graphics are unique, and they bring out the SNES's potential. You can't ask for too much from the SNES when it comes to graphics, but they are about as good as you can get.

MUSIC/SOUND - 6/10
Music is not one of Soul Blazer's good attributes. It gets extremely repetitive, and it doesn't fit the surrounding area. The sound, on the other hand, is just fine. There is a sound effect for just about everything. So that just tells you sound good, music bad.

GAMEPLAY - 9/10
One of the good points of the game. Very fun and exciting, a little boring is some points though. Not boring enough to make you quit though. Very challenging, one of those games where you will get confused with. The surroundings give you hints on what to do next. Two thumbs up! I will also state the fact that some people think it is a Zelda clone..... Think about it.. How could you say a ''Zelda clone'' is bad?

REPLAYABILITY - 5/10
Well, you'll get the craving to play this game in a random moment in your life (that pretty much means that you won't beat, and 2 days later beat it again). I wouldn't recommend buying this, if you wanted a game to beat over and over again though. Replayability doesn't make the game though. So that doesn't really matter that much :).

OVERALL - 8/10
This game is very unique in it's own way, and I loved it while I was playing it. A great challenge for everyone, yet it's easier than Chrono Trigger, so kids can play and enjoy it too!

TO BUY, OR TO RENT - Buy
If you can find this game in stores, you should buy it. It will take you more than a rushed 3 day rental to beat this game!.
