Advantages: Good graphics, some 3D.

Disadvantages: 2D character movement, fantasy story.

This game was released about two years ago, and was one of the later games I bought for my Gamecube.

The game is done in a type of cartoon from Japan, called Anime. For me, this was unusual and slightly off putting at first, but having been recommended this game by a friend, I decided to give it a try.

The story is basically that there are two worlds, and one world is dying, so some brave souls from the other world set out to save the dying one.

The game revolves around fighting and using tricks to get through the various obstacles.

I did enjoy playing, but I felt that the story was too in depth and that this detracted from the gameplay somewhat.

I did however, really really enjoy the 3D, and, despite the anime, I thought that the graphics were good, and very very clear.

I liked the character (who is Lloyd) control, but I thought that, having 3D graphics, it would be better to be able to control the character in 3D too (which you can't).

I think this game is good but to really enjoy it I think you have to be more into the story than I was.

Summary: This game is better suited to some people than others.
