  • Summary: Set in richly detailed 3D environments, each with its own distinct styles and themes, Rau, a fierce warrior, must battle the denizens of the dark world to prevent the invoking of an ancient spell that holds the power to unleash great evil throughout the land. Along with his loyal and trusted spirit guide, Kuzo, a large black bird, Rau embarks on an exhilarating journey that requires a combination of stealth, aggressive-action moves and calculated planning. Kuzo plays a strategic role in the quest with the ability to scout ahead to perches for a better view of looming danger, retrieve items and distract opponents. [SCEA]… Collapse

    It's the most surprising, and visionary, action-adventure game of the summer. [Fall 2002, p.145]

    With an innovative gameplay system, and original combo system, The Mark of Kri is one of the best Beat 'em ups I have ever played.

    There are hidden cheats and costumes, and plenty to keep you busy, and the joy of the combat, the good intermixture of stealth and tactics, and the sheer style with which The Mark of Kri is delivered make it a true classic.

    Its cartoon visuals, stealth elements and engrossing atmosphere make for a surprisingly different approach to a genre that generally consists of simplistic button bashers. [PSM2]

    With all the great reviews, and all the hype this game and the sequel is getting, i really don't see what is so great about it. In my opinion, this is a mediocre adventure game at its best, and should be treated like one. … Expand
