wow. The last game I bought on DS was back when Pokemon Diamond was first released. I thought I wouldn't buy a DS game after that, but seeing this one, I think I'm gonna break that record.
I'm a big fan of the Oz series but I've found the MGM portrayal of the series (which, to most people's surprise, is about as accurate to the books as this game and takes just as many liberties) to be a little tired and tried. This game was a fresh spin on the franchise and I've enjoyed it alot.
I'm so glad they didn't take the "same shit, but this time it's dark" route. the Wonderful Wizard of Oz reads like an RPG, complete with armor upgrades, characters with unique skill sets, and bosses. Now go make a Journey to the West game! We know you can now, there's no excuse!
Actually DulBeat, there already is a game based on the Journey to the West. It was a Final Fantasy Tactics-style strategy RPG for the PS1 called Saiyuki: Journey West. Check it out if you're interested.
The music is by Basiscape. It's a special orchestra that makes game music. They also made the score for FFXII, Odin Sphere, Oboro Muramasa, Valkyria Chronicles, Death Smiles, and many others. Really great music.
I just bought this game today and I absolutely love it! The "trackball" is the best idea, it is easy and extremely fun to use. I hope to see more games use this. I played for 2 hrs straight and would have played more, but I want to savor this great game! Buy it, it's fantastic. XD
Having to constantly roll it is completely aggravating. They couldn't just have you auto roll it by holding the stylus down and manipulate the speed based on how far out you're holding it. Oh no, that'd be simple!
I hope none try to implement such a dumbass idea again.
It's a decent game. What really shines in it are the graphics. This is without a doubt, the most beautiful DS game to date.
Man, at first, I was slightly interesting of Wizard of Oz, but to be honest, this game looks so cool, and I never thought Dorothy looks soooo cute. X3
I'm not a fan of The Wizard of Oz story (I have never seen any movie or cartoon based on it) but this videogame adaption look very interesting. And Dorothy soooooooo cute! :3
Looks very nice, Im sure it'll play like a decent (albiet Im willing to bet a very stock) RPG. I have to agree on the dialouge though.... I see much butchery ahead in the land of OZ, I'd love to be proven wrong tho, Ill def check the reviews when this one hits
actually i checked something after i commented on your comment, its likely that you dont know but theres an anime from 1980s i believe, anyways the tin man in that show is fat. it is highly likely that the art design was inspired by the tin man in that anime show. check ANN for the information or type in wizard of OZ anime in youtube to check out the intro or something.
but it does sound like a good game kiind of it reminds me of final fantasy the crystal crhonicalsseries kind of with the musicand stuff, yea you get it
Well, I thought they were gonna rape the story with this but it doesn't look all that bad. At least the presentation is nice. I wonder if the combat keeps up with it.
to beat, i mean. It's a good game, pretty much straightforward though.
