85A surprisingly strong game that does so many of the fundamental things right. Smooth, colorful graphics, a respectable score, a working camera (I can't stress this enough), and a 15-20 hour action-adventure quest are good points for which almost any game should strive.

The complete adventure package and then some, and it's not as sticky-sweet as you might think. [Jan 2006, p.48]

If you're a fan of Neopets you will like this game.
-
75Older gamers will likely get bored with the repetitive gameplay that is seemingly void of any overarching sense of achievement. Younger fans will probably have fun going through the world, collecting items and seeing their favorite Neopets.
-
74Even though some things were annoying or repetitive it is still a good game. As far as graphics, sound, and gameplay I was quite pleasantly pleased.
-
Good practice for aspiring Final Fantasizers. [Jan 2006, p.99]

65Simple, clean, straightforward and bland, Neopets is a baked potato without fixings, a bed without blankets, a cake without frosting, or a chair without cushions... It's a minimalist's action adventure.
-
62Neopets: The Darkest Faerie's standout flaw is that it isn't very exciting. It should've been with its Zelda-inspired combat, massive worlds, lots of scavenger hunting, etc., among other interesting and highly promising features.
-
61A much stronger license than it is a game, as it's plagued by overly expansive environments and poorly realized combat sequences.
-
61Too average of an adventure game to be interesting. The uninteresting story and gameplay are disappointing, especially since the game is based off such a popular franchise as Neopets.
-
60Riding on the popularity of the Neopets online game, the video game version turns out to be just an average action title, with some platforming thrown in.
-
60Many of the game's elements are dated, while others are just annoying and problematic. If you're looking for a children's game or you're a die-hard fan of the Neopets, then you might find some enjoyment within this game. Otherwise, steer clear!
-
60There's not enough action/platformer fiber, and even the young'uns may find themselves longing for the mini-game galaxy of Neopets.com.
-
It's an average action/adventure game for the Neopets fan; everyone else is strongly discouraged from playing.
-
Its gameplay mechanics are at best, boring, and at worst, snooze-worthy. If you enjoy Neopets, you may want to give this one a tentative rent, but that's the most that I can suggest to anyone.
-
40When it comes down to it, The Darkest Faerie plays like a Zelda knockoff and looks like a Spyro ripoff. Save for the mote system, there really isn't anything interesting going on, which would be fine if the execution were better.
-
25If you're a fan of Neopets, you'll probably end up wanting to check this out because, well, you're a fan. However, for the majority of the gaming populace, avoid this game like the plague. There's no fun to be had here.
-
20Everything seems like it was created four years ago, shelved and brought out on a rainy day when a semi-popular license could be bended around it.

NickS10Great game. The bosses were challenging but not throw the controller down and storm off challenging. I am a fan of neopets, and this game delivers.
