  • Summary: Marked by a remarkably haunting score, FRAGILE DREAMS: FAREWELL RUINS OF THE MOON finds protagonist Seto exploring an eerie and abandoned world, seemingly populated only by haunting ghosts and demons. As this lonely and lost soul, players encounter memorable characters, and discover the back story behind scavenged items that provide insight into the population’s last days before a devastating apocalypse. Amidst this strangely beautiful atmosphere, players utilize the Wii Remote as a flashlight to illuminate Seto’s surroundings, solve puzzles and interact with the bleak, devastated environment, set to a moving, emotional soundtrack.

  1. Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon is a gorgeous, engaging and touching experience, and one that no Wii owner should be without.
  2. Fragile Dreams is definitely better than the sum of its parts: while there are some gameplay and controls issues, the excellent work made by Tri Crescendo in terms of setting, characters and storyline is really what will make you go on until the credits roll.
  3. If you own a Wii and you are looking for something different that will challenge your emotions then give Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon a shot.
  4. One of the Wii's best-looking games, but this role-playing hybrid is all atmosphere and no substance.

  1. A truly excellent, criminally underrated game, sure the gameplay may not be the greatest, but that's not what Fragile is trying to impress you with. The story, music, atmosphere, and art direction are where it's at here, and it's all masterful. If you want a beautiful, emotional game with a post-apocalypse actually worth caring about, you need not look any further than Fragile Dreams. Expand
  2. A new generation beauty with a wonderful synopsis and ost. A beautifully designed game, like reading a book, a unique adventure. Although it is not for everyone because it has a strong focus on enjoying the beauty rather than exciting battles is a unique game that no person who is deemed Wii player must lose. Expand

    By all means, the game is not perfect. but the experience is wonderful and there is really no other game like this for Zelda and Okami lovers like myself. Ico and Shadow of the colossus were not criticized for being slow and meditative... why is everyone being so hard on Fragile? The controls are not nearly as bad as some people said and, while IGN criticizes for not havign lock on... well Monster Hunter Tri doesn't have lock-on either. I think people expected so much from this game that now they are upset and want some kind of revenge to lower its score. Again, by all means, the game is not perfect but it's definitively a must for those who care more about mood and story than blood and violence. Play it in the dark in Japanese with English subs... it's creepier than I imagined. Expand
  4. A good rpg for the wii,but the game-play was kinda boring!!! There's a lot of slow ladders and cracked floors that take 1 minute of game-play doing nothing. Expand
