== ALUNDRA == Alundra is another game which I feel didn't receive the credit it deserved. Alundra is an action adventure role playing game that was developed by Matrix Software and published by Psygnosis. Alundra is only available for the PS1 and Playstation Network and the PS1 version was released back in 1998. This was one of the first Playstation games that I bought myself and I still have this now.

Alundra also offers quite an intriguing storyline and the game overall rarely disappoints. Alundra isn't just ...  Read the complete review

Alundra is an excellent, possibly the best, puzzle based RPG. It's possibly the best game of its genre on any console. Originally for the PS1, it is now available on Playstation Network for purchase and play on the PS3.

Here I am again, reviewing another RPG, and on the Playstation. This time the game is Alundra. An RPG from a small developer called Working Designs, which is published by Psychnosis.

Alundra is an action RPG, which owes more than a little to Zelda on the Super Nintendo. You take the role of Alundra, an outcast who finds himself a new home in a small village after his ship is wrecked at sea. The village is bright and friendly, but a dark and ancient evil is preparing to destroy it and only Alundra, with his power to enter the dreams of the people he meets, can save the day.

i have to agree with some of the opinions that this game is like zelda. but being a zelda fan it was definately enjoyable. its a long game,but then that makes it worth the money. you will start out on a boat which eventually leads you to being washed up on a beach. here is where the adventure begins. the game is based around talking to people for clues,and solving puzzles. some of the bosses are hard to defeat,and i have to admit some of the puzzles had me stumped but then you always have the hotline number available if you are really getting annoyed.this can be found in the manual and can give you a complete walkthrough of the whole game,at a ...  Read the complete review
