    Summoner could have been a fantastic RPG that tore a new hole in the gaming world. Instead, it turned into a great fantasy game that will probably be an ass-kicking franchise.
  2. PSX Nation

    This isn't a game for everyone, namely those with little patience, but for anyone else willing to put the time into playing this game will find an adventure like no other on the PlayStation 2 and currently the best RPG out there.
  3. Game Revolution

    An extremely ambitious game, but it misses the mark due to unoriginality and subpar presentation.

The graphics arent great and the loading times are relly long, but the gameplay and storyline is wonderful. This is a great game.… Expand
