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

    Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King packs a lot of depth into a small package just like Square-Enix intended it to.

    Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King is better than the sum of its parts. When you look at everything separately nothing sticks out as particularly fantastic, but its charm and addictive quality go a long way towards making it a great game.

    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

    Jugar a ser un rey de un reino que nosotros mismos levantaremos de la nada es mas entretenido de lo que puede parecer. Mas allá de los DLCs (cuya utilidad es discutible) y de algunos temas de interacción entre los personajes, el juego en sí esta bien planteado y supone horas de diversión.… 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.… Collapse
