I have to say, yeah, looking back, the graphics are pretty terrible. And they were only Ok for it's day and age, but I was like... 8 years old when this game came out. The game seemed perplex and mysterious to me, it still does, and I'd like to find a video, somewhere, on youtube, of the ending so I can get some idea of what that strange game from my childhood was even about...
Great character development and story. The animation and the battle system was tedious but what can you expect from a ps1 RPG. It's kinda funny that this and Crash Team Racing are the only games I can fondly remember back to; and this is coming from a guy who had loved MGS, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider and most of the ps1 games that actually made ps1 a classic console.
THIS IS NOT A BAD RPG GAME... OK? It's one of the earliest RPG game i've played on ps1 and I still have it until now. the funny dialogues make up for it...
Yeah the best, after Suikoden 2, Suikoden 1, Xenogears, FF7, Grandia, Vagrant Story, Valkyrie Profile, Legend of Mana, Lunar, Lunar 2, FF8, FF9... not necessarily in that order
The crappiest RPG? Hardly, I believe that title is still held by Beyond the Beyond. This game lacked a pretty face, but excelled like no other in character development and DIALOGUE, just fucking hilarious and unforgettable shit. Also, the map screens and ability to dodge random encounters with the bumpers was a great addition. Its cheap as hell too, so I would encourage people to give it a shot. It takes a couple hours but you will fall in love with it. "You look like death eating a cracker!" ha
This game was good, but basically only because of music and CG magics and a little because of story, gameplay was horrible... I finished him in 2000, this game doing one little sucess here in Brazil.
I have one guide book complete in brazilian portuguese of Progames, an extinct games publisher!
.... terrible. this is one of the best rpgs ever made for ps1. imo: just as good or better than ff7 because of cool dark twisted storyline, characters and music.
Ok one thing about this game i found really odd was some of the battle music..was the exact same battle music for Icewind Dale...Anyone ever notice that?
I first played this game on demo disc, I loved it, my bro got the game and he beat it. This game might have crapy graphics but its gameplay that counts.
Actually honestly the graphics weren't bad, the character graphics were bad but the backgrounds looked great, it was the battle system as you can see here that was really bad.
Yeah, it was fun, it's just really easy to make fun of at the same time. The friend who purchased it loved it when it first came out, which is why we got it again.
yeah, it's one of those games that are crappy but fun at the same time. It reminds me of "Digimon World" for the ps1, you have to take your digimon to a toilet so it can shit, if you don't get it there on time it lays one right next to ya.
i love this fuckin game!!! i dont even care what the reviews say, they can kiss my ass... i love the whole dark feel of it, it's so evil and great and the music is awesome.
I have two jobs so I don't get to play often. I just used my digital camera to record it, that's why the quality is pretty shitty. I haven't finished it yet, no and I probably won't post more videos unless something really exiting happens :P
Oh, man! I loved this game! It's a shame it wasn't more popular. I actually didn't mind the graphics so much, but the storyline if you were patient and stuck with it, really started heating up once you got past Red Tom in the cave.
Weren't there also a senile knight and a six armed warrior woman from hell? I forget. It's been so long. All I know is that it had a very unusual cast of characters but once Xero is recruited my memory becomes blurry. I remember something about a machine that drills through the underground and that's it.
There was a Sir Georges at the beginning of the game when you visit a nursing home. He joins your party for about five seconds before the nurse tells him it's time for dinner, then he leaves your party. And the warrior lady was Jirina. She joins later in the game near the end.
This game isn't so horrible, the one flaw is the battle system, you can tell they slapped it together in like a day or so. the graphics remind me of FFVII.
Despite being a really crappy game, it brings back some good memories. My friends and I were determined to beat this dog over a weekend. We suffered through it ^_^ and had a few laughs along the way.
I'm joining the list of people who would like to see a playthrough of SM. This game owned. It was like a nerd at prom time; Great personality, just not pretty enough to go to the dance.
I loved this game! Someone really should do a playthrough of it on youtube. There were some really great moments in the storyline. Shadow Madness was a lot like a runt puppy. It's small, ugly and there's just something not right about it. But that makes you love it even more.
you can find a few copies of the game on Ebay.

I loved this game. The problem is that people were comparing it to FF7. Yeah, by THAT standard, it's not that great.
A fun game is a fun game. Period.
