    Actually playable, not too hard on the eyes, and pretty darn fun for those of us who hold to our classic fantasy movies despite the passage of time.

    Above all else, fun. A sloppy, not so pretty effort for sure, the innovative play control and old fashioned challenge dissolves that barrier away.

    It tells a fun epic tale, with great music, and the gameplay is solid enough to keep you interested. Unfortunately, the shaky camera, cheap enemy AI, and a limited move list keep this game from being stellar.

    Just a third-person action game with a respectable storyline and an interesting soundtrack paired with gameplay that simply can't deliver the goods.

    I am new to gaming on Playstation and I find this pretty, listenable, just-difficult-enough fun!

    I haven't slammed the controller down during a hissy fit in a LONG time. Graphics were good, unicorn theme cool, gameplay sucks... but at least I had to actually work at winning.… Expand

    It definitely isn't the worst game I've ever played. The story line is cute but the game play its self isn't so great. The worst thing to me is the fact that you can only do a handful of things to defeat your 'enemies'.
    But, despite all that, I have stuck with it for 2 levels. I wouldn't go around shouting praises about it or anything, but I'm not angry that I bought it, and I will continue to play it until I beat it, or until I get bored with it, then I'll move on to the next game. :P    … Expand

    This game sucks ass. It would be more fun to burn my money. It is horrible. A disgrace to the PS2 system.
