My only Role Playing Game (RPG) experience on the Playstation has been the excellent Final Fantasy series, however my opinion of the series is subjective as I have only other FF games to compare with.

Not surprising then that this title was three years in production! Was it worth it? Well, overall, yes it was. Whilst it isn’t perfect Legend of the Dragoon ...  Read the complete review
