Soul Blazer

The Good
The ideas behind this game worked... I loved the idea of adding little bits to different towns by finding different spirits (however a similar(ish) idea has now been created for the PS2 in the form of Dark Cloud and it's sequel (cant' remember the name). I also loved the actual story line it was rather sweet with little animals and plants also talking to you, also the actual additions to the game made it a little more interesting such as finding the 8 special emblems to gain the best spell (or sommat like that...)

The Bad
Unfortunately... the actual game lacked in length and can actually be completed within about 24 hours (possibly less if you don't bother to read the dialogue. Also with the exception possibly of finding all 8 emblems it is a bit easy... the last boss in the entire game not even slightly hard by the time you have the weapon and armour and ring required... also the ending although again sweet did leave a fair bit to be desired there are better RPG games for the SNES... but there are worse...

The Bottom Line
Short but fun while it lasts, not one to spend a lot of money on but if seen cheaply then could be worth a try better yet if possible borrow it off a friend. Not much reason to replay short of completeing everything...
