    Massively enjoyable, tantalisingly addictive and packed with possibilities. [Aug 2008, p.73]

    The scope of the game is enormous and there's never a lack of things to do as you live out each day of the adventure.

    There's a terrific immediacy to the events, too. The days are short enough to guarantee a constant hustle and bustle, and the results of the previous day's adventuring are cunningly given after the save screen, drawing you in to the next day before you realise it. [Aug 2008, p.98]

    This game is easily one of the best god-simulation games out there. By combining Final Fantasy and a sim-city/sims type game; the end product is easily worth the $15-$25 price. If you own a Wii, this is a great game to try.… Expand

    "Final Fantasy: My Life as a King" is a great beginning for the WiiWare, together with "LostWinds". The entertainment is amazing and the happiness of seeing your kingdom progress make this a great game. The additional downloads are good, some replaceable and some useless, and the interaction with your citizens are from good to regular: it could be better.… Expand

    I was so excited based on all the reviews to play this game. What a disappointment. The game plays itself. Your character is stuck at the castle while everyone else is sent off to do the exciting stuff which you only hear about in daily reports. Equally annoying is when your character is told it's his bedtime.… Expand
