"The characters and animation are excellent. The background scenery is atmospheric, but it's also rather dull. these may be ruins but they could have made them a bit more colorful. during fights you get good sound effects - "ughs" and "arrghs". There's not much else apart from that though. The only annoying thing you'll find is that the game comes on three disks, so a certain amunt of swapping is required. Fortunately this is mostly between games rather than during them." - ACE magazine
