This game catches a lot of undeserved flack in my opinion. If you're a big fan of turn based jRPG's with the cartoony type animation then this game is for you. The game is a little different in regards to combat in the fact that you don't fight with weapons but your shadow which is depicted by a dragon. Leveling up your character is the usual classic style of earning EXP throught the game. This game offers plenty of sidequests and is a load of fun. Considering how cheap this game now is in stores I'd say it's 100% worth a try for RPG fans out there.
