Control Toran and his motley crew as you attempt to reconstruct the world and vanquish the Dark Genie. In addition to hours of dungeon-trekking, the game also contains elements found in simulation, puzzle, fishing, and rhythm games.
The combat system is clearly inspired by the one used in the N64's Legend of Zelda games--choose a target to lock on, and wail away. Between rounds of slaying monsters, you'll have to strategically rebuild cities to advance. Successful fishing trips will lead to valuable weapon upgrades. Some battles test your rhythm, requiring you to match button commands, similar to such games as Um Jammer Lammy and PaRappa the Rapper. Weapon management is a vital part of the game--weapons can break if not cared for properly, but you can also transform them into powerful objects of destruction by shrewdly managing upgrades.
The multifaceted game contains an excellent tutorial to help you learn its many aspects. While it has its imperfections, Dark Cloud is the best PlayStation 2 RPG to date. It's perfect for the angling adventurer who likes to dabble in urban planning. --Raymond M. Padilla, Amazon.com

The most frustrating was the fighting because it's so awkward and every time you got hit you were knocked down it got really annoying really fast. Also get this you can only attack one way snd the game does not train you at all, hardly a tutorial ever! It really doesnt hold your hand at all later the main wizard"
