I'm a fan of other Final Fantasy games in which Chocobos have appeared before, so when I saw a cheap copy of this for sale, I thought I'd give it a try! I have to admit, I think it's aimed at a much younger market than the original Final Fantasy games, but I'm still really enjoying it so far! As the game is aimed at a younger audience, and its concept is quite simple. You are a Chocobo who enjoys listening to stories with his friends. One day though, your friends get sucked into books thanks to the villain of the story, Darkmaster Bebuzzu. Your task is to defeat him and help your friends escape! The game is RPG style overall, but interspersed with lots of ...  Read the complete review

This is no where near like any other final fantasy game. This is a mixture of various types of game play. You have a role playing game, as you are in control of a small cute yellow chocobo and must complete numerous repetative tasks to complete the game.

Along the way, the player comes across a series of trading card type ...  Read the complete review

This is a bizarre game in the fact that it appears to defy classic genres. It's sort of an RPG, in the plot, but the main gameplay appears to be based around a series of minigame challenges (mainly utilising the nintendo ds stylus and touch screen, some more complex than others), but an added twist is that the classic RPG combat system is replaced with one loosely based on a sort of trading card game- the whole experience is a kind of strange hybrid TCG/RPG experience. Considering all this, it's managed to pull it off reasonably well... but it all feels kind of basic and depthless. The card-game combat is too simple, and for any kid whose grown up with pokemon cards ...  Read the complete review
