Terranigma

Review by Peiter

"The best Action-RPG for SNES"

I was playing this game and Secrect of Mana 2 at the same time, and I found out this game is the best Action-RPG game for SNES.

Game Graph: 9/10
The graph is clean, neat and colorful. The world map lookes really nice compare to other SNES RPGs. Monsters and bosses are well drawn and well animated. The only reason I didn't give the graph a 10 out of the 10 is because I don't like the hero's cloth...:)

Control: 10/10
Controls are really nice in this game. All the moves are easy to put out as well as the sample actions such as run, walk, jump, etc.

Sound/Music: 9/10
Even though the sound effect and the music can't compare to those in Final Fantasy 3 or Chorono Trigger, they are not bad, though. Actually, they are pretty good. No cheesy sound effects in here. The music is fitted in most of the area. Just nice.

Story: 10/10
Now this is what a RPG should be. Terranigma gives player a simple quest at beginning; and as the game proceed, the story turns into one big epic. Compare to some sample RPGs, the story in terranigma is deep and twisted. There are love stories; there are heroic langends, There are noble sacrifies; All the stuff you want in a RPG is in this game. And the best part is the real quest is not started until the last part of the game, and what the hero did before were all for nothing...OK, I don't want to spill this for you. Just play it, you will see.

Replayablity: 10/10
There are a lot of quest, mini games, and secrets in this game. You even get chance to help towns' economy growth. You will get a different feeling each time you play it.

Overall: 10/10
Like I said before, the best action rpg for SNES. I think this one is even better than Zelda of SNES. So play this game, If you have the chance.
