An enticing blend of action and RPG adventure. The game mixes the best elements of both genres, resulting in a title that is just a hair away from greatness. Musashi may not be Zelda's equal, but it sure is close. [Apr 2005, p.84]

The game just never really gets moving and therefore most of us will end up turning it off after a good twenty minutes.
A meager grab 'n go meal. [June 2005, p.88]
