    At its best moments, Suikoden IV sits right up there with the most outstanding RPGs ever created. [Feb 2005, p.114]

    In its own right, Suikoden IV is a fine game. It has decent gameplay, it looks great, it sounds awesome, and it has a good story. But compared to the past games in the series, it's flawed, and it's a complete downgrade from the third installment.

    To see a series falter so badly after years of doing everything right is distressing.

    It is not the best thing out there but it is not the worst either. I am disappointed in the 108 stars the characters don't burst forth with personality or really excite you about collecting them. The execution of the boat ride was the worst idea ever; although, I give them credit for coming up with the concept. It's a game that really should have had alot more second thought to it and you really have to ignore that it has other games as awesome as II in it's bloodline.… Expand
