Skies of Arcadia

Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)

Awe-inspiring to behold, deep, absorbing and epic to the nines, Overworks' sky-faring RPG sets a standard that will most others will never attain. You have been told.

Gaming Age

Though its cartoony visual style may be a turn-off to some, Skies of Arcadia is one of the most beautiful and overall well-constructed RPGs in recent memory.

GamerWeb Sega

One of those rare games that not only sucks you in, but pins you down and gives you noogies as time passes unmercifully.

DC Swirl

Much as "Final Fantasy 7" was the catalyst that launched the PS into the RPG world, Skies of Arcadia does the same for the Dreamcast and is truly a must have RPG for ANY RPG fan regardless of their system of choice.

Daily Radar

The characters and the storyline are so superbly written, illustrated and realized that it'll be impossible for any RPG fan to not find something to like in Skies of Arcadia.

Hot Games

It may not have the emotional impact of some of Square's RPG's, but it does have likeable characters, a huge amount of gameplay, an epic quest, and beautifully rendered environments and effects.

Game Fan

By far my favorite RPG of all time thanks to its great story, looks, and battle system. The game has absorbed my days and nights with swashbuckling adventures -- and that's all you can really ask for in the end, isn't it?

Gaming Maxx

This game is true original that blends its own style with classic RPG elements to perfection.

Antagonist

An insanely deep and complex storyline, a clever and unique combat and magic system, tons of additional gameplay modes, fantastic graphics, and appealing characters.

Da Gameboyz

There really is no substitute for a great story that Skies of Arcadia delivers, big time. Oversoft has blended this with great graphics giving DC owners exactly what they have been craving.

Sega X

Every ounce of this game exudes tremendous production value, and could easily be Sega's finest RPG in years.

GameSpot

Although a notch or two away from being a true masterpiece, Skies of Arcadia is one of the best Dreamcast RPGs to date.

IGN

I am very happy; Skies of Arcadia is not just one of the most beautiful Dreamcast games to play, but one of the most addicting RPG I've played in years.

Game Revolution

The most enjoyable aspect of Skies of Arcadia is the way the game flows.... In Skies, the story, as well as the ability to freely explore the map, move the game along at a brisk pace.

CNET Gamecenter

The game takes an excellent story, interesting world, and engaging gameplay and wraps it all in some of the best graphics seen on the system to date.

Planet Dreamcast

The most enjoyable RPG experience I've had in years.

GamePro

Nothing but a journey full of wild discoveries, intense battles, and fun gameplay. To date, this is the best Dreamcast RPG that no one should miss.

Dreamcast HQ

An incredible game.

Core Magazine

Great scripting, captivating characters, a good battle system, and two long GD-ROMs worth of game give you the bang for the buck.

Happy Puppy

This game is excellent, although its predictable and simple story combined with average character designs and dialogue prevent if from becoming an instant classic.

Spank!

Graphically the game is excellent, with crisp, clean characters and some very detailed textures.
