Critic Reviews

91 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.
90 Official U.S. Playstation Magazine
If you're willing to invest a few weeks...or months...the results are well worth the effort. [Nov 2001, p.46]
84 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!
83 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.
82 IGN
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.
81 Game Fan
I'm glad it's finally here, and I can't wait to hear about the wild adventures you create!
73 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.
63 GameSpot
What good is a set of tools that frustrates more than it aids creation?
55 Happy Puppy
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.
50 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.
30 CNET Gamecenter
Too difficult for all but the most dedicated creators, and even they may find themselves frustrated by the program's constraints.
