The player even has control over the story as it changes depending on which gender the player chooses to play as, enhancing the ability to immerse themselves into the story. [XSEED]… Expand

    It is a game that rewards those players willing to dedicate it the many hours its learning curve requests.

    Avalon Code is sort of a mess, but it's an inspired one. [Apr 2009, p.90]

    The Book of Prophecy is poorly designed; it turns an innovative concept into an annoying, tedious, headache-inducing chore.

    Since the combat is so shallow, and the story is rather bland in spite of how different it is, Avalon Code never really sucked me in.

    It is one of the RPG's we've been waiting for to come out on the DS. Its cool and long, most like Runefactory and Harvest Moon with Zelda Graphics, or so the critics say. Its nice to have this game for the DS. I mean, its the most fun I had after The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.… Expand

    Definitely one of the best DS games. All the negatives this game get in other reviews is just because it does not is the "hash n' slash" type of RPG. Awesome is all that i can say… Expand

    Wow, this really is an experimental game. It's almost like the developers threw whatever they thought on the wall and hoped it would stick. However, these were the developers of the DS Final Fantasy remakes, so most of the stuff they threw were good ideas. However, there are some really obvious flaws in the system, like a 1,490 page book of prophecy that is a pain in the butt to navigate and the fact that you have to juggle enemies into space to get a decent recovery item. Either way, this game is so much that these flaws really don't mean much to me. If you like Action RPG's and like experimental games like The World Ends With You, this is a msut-buy for you guys.… Expand

    this game is so annoying,when you fight most of the boss battles even if you level up its hard to beat them.
    and all the puzzles and things yo    u have to solve broke my thought of finishing the game.when i saw this game i had this urge to get it but i got it i was so disappointed that i did'nt play the game anymore.a few years later i tried playing it again i got farther than before but ended up the same way.… Expand
