    It's balanced and has just the right loot curve, unlike games such as Champions of Norrath, which offer too many loot drops but nothing worth keeping. Come for the single-player appetizer, but stay for the multiplayer grandeur. Ring of Fates is a keeper.

    A satisfying multiplayer adventure with more than an hint of "Phantasy Star Online" about it. [Apr 2008, p.70]

    A surprisingly valiant effort. It has variety and charm, and even though the RPG elements feel a bit wasted on the action-heavy gameplay, it still flows well.

    A mixed bag mangled by repetitive combat and a magic system that could have used a little more thought. But behind its failings is a story that is worth sitting through. [Apr 2008, p.66]

    I think this game is amazing. all the big game websites only give this game a 6 rating it definatly deserves a 10 and it is by far better than FF 12 revenant wings which gets a 7 rating but ROF is probably the best DS game out at the moment… Expand

    Got the game today so this an initial review. Graphics are good, game seems fun so far. First and second dungeon seem to be a challenge, but not impossible Only flaw so far is the control system - you need to use both hands as the stylus at the same time which is impossible, not even using a hand instead of the stylus is a viable alternative as often all 3 are needed at the same time!… Expand

    100% from 1UP? Seems their new non-metric reviewing scheme doesnt translate aross to Metacritic too accuratly. 1UP actually gave FFCC DS an 'A'. They say "We rate games on a scale of A+ through F", so A cannot equate to 100%.

    Im suspicious of this high review score anyway. The 1UP review is plastered above and to the sides with large FFCC advertisments. Hmmmm...    … Expand
