Gaming Age
While it might not be up to the visual caliber of the current era of RPGs, it is a flexible and resourceful title that can bring forth an experience unlike any other - as long as you're willing to fork over the time commitment.

If you're willing to invest a few weeks...or months...the results are well worth the effort. [Nov 2001, p.46]
Antagonist
If you ever wanted to make your own "Final Fantasy," and you've got enough patience and free time, then you MUST buy this game!
Core Magazine
If you have the time, patience, and inclination to build your own RPGs but don't know how to program yourself, then RPG Maker is the perfect solution.

I love this thing! It's a dream come true for me and anyone else who has ever wanted to create his or her own RPG.

I'm glad it's finally here, and I can't wait to hear about the wild adventures you create!
PSX Nation
Although its graphics are dated and its sounds poor MIDI-like compositions, your imagination and your patience are the only limits to what you (and only YOU) can achieve in the game.

If you have some vision, creative ambition, and a whole lot of time on your hands, RPG Maker just may be the game for you.
Read Full Review >Daily Radar
Marred by technical difficulties, ultimately simplistic design and a painfully complex interface, RPG Maker is less a dream come true than a nightmare that never seems to end.
CNET Gamecenter
Too difficult for all but the most dedicated creators, and even they may find themselves frustrated by the program's constraints.

Jose B. gave it a10:
Easy tool, good graphics (enough for the PS engine and compared to other RPGs) great music! Better than some other RPGs... Fun to play! specially if you figured out how to make good use of all tools. What else would someone need? You can even make you graphics if you buy a mouse, I believe... but never tried it!
Kaga C. gave it a10:
I've sunk more hours into this one than I care to admit. Though less powerful than most computer-based tools, it's a snap to get into. Anyone who has faced the daunting challenge of creating a game from the ground up can certainly appreciate the ease of game creation (however limited) presented by Agetec here.
Hedrum H. gave it a8:
You can make fairly decent games on this thing; but, just a fair warning for those who haven't played it, it is so limited.
Jared R. gave it an 8:
I don't know what the hell that guy is smoking, but honestly it is a bit hard 2 navigate. But don't let that deter you. It still is well worthy of a purchase. Once you spend a few hours learning how 2 get stuff running it becomes just as addicting as many great RPGs such as Diablo 2 and the FF series.
Jojo M. gave it a 10:
This game is great for anyone smart enough to use it. If you say it sucks, you probably don't have the brains to figure it out.

They get one point for that gobi adventure thing... this game sucks more than MM reviews(supersmash bro.s review cube)
