Summary

It's all about whether you liked the mini-games...

The Good

The fighting in the arena was really fun. It was the only mini-game that I really liked. Wandering through the houses and picking locks and riding were all rather simple and dull IMO.

The Bad

Most of the mini-games were rather crude and dull (even for the time). Personally, I like what Sid Meier's once said about the failure of his game, Covert Action: it's better to have one good game than two bad ones. I think this applies heavily to this game.

The Bottom Line

Like Sword of the Samurai, this game is just a bunch of mini-games tied loosely together. If you like the rather simplistic mini-games, then this game's for you. I do think the whole is greater than the sum of its parts (like Pirates!) but the parts aren't all that great (unlike Pirates!).
