A surprisingly strong game that does so many of the fundamental things right. Smooth, colorful graphics, a respectable score, a working camera (I can't stress this enough), and a 15-20 hour action-adventure quest are good points for which almost any game should strive.
Older gamers will likely get bored with the repetitive gameplay that is seemingly void of any overarching sense of achievement. Younger fans will probably have fun going through the world, collecting items and seeing their favorite Neopets.

For a game that was a tie in in the mid 2000's, it has a surprising amount of polish. Sure, it does have its flaws, but a lot of games of this era (especially tie in games) had a fair amount of flaws. It's a shame it never reached anywhere outside the USA.
The best part of the experience is the music (As long as it works. It has problems playing audio at times.)

I first played this game when it came out and I was 9 years old. 12 years later, I still find myself looking back fondly on it. My siblings and I spent hours on this game and talked about it constantly, figuring out for ourselves how to solve every new puzzle in the game. Replaying it older now, I see some bugs and recognize some quests' repetitiveness. However, it's full of old lore from the Neopets website that endeared the game to neopets fans like myself.

Simple, clean, straightforward and bland, Neopets is a baked potato without fixings, a bed without blankets, a cake without frosting, or a chair without cushions... It's a minimalist's action adventure.
A much stronger license than it is a game, as it's plagued by overly expansive environments and poorly realized combat sequences.
Riding on the popularity of the Neopets online game, the video game version turns out to be just an average action title, with some platforming thrown in.
Its gameplay mechanics are at best, boring, and at worst, snooze-worthy. If you enjoy Neopets, you may want to give this one a tentative rent, but that’s the most that I can suggest to anyone.
Everything seems like it was created four years ago, shelved and brought out on a rainy day when a semi-popular license could be bended around it.
Many people don't want to play this game because of the trade mark Neopets and all stereotypes that come with that name. But given the chance this game will impress. The plot is not the most complex of things, but it is intriguing nevertheless, especially in how the two main characters stories intertwine. There is much land to explore with fun side quests and treasures to find. The enemies prove challenging but not overly so and the main quests are fun and unique to the game.

This is one of those games at first sight I thought I would not like it, but once I tried it, it turned out to be a great and entertaining game.

It's a bit too simple and easy to play this game and the loading time is too long

The way the game loaded was very frustrating at times. While you were running across the fields, the game would stop dead cold and just load for a two minutes. The fighting was kind of good, although it was a bit clunky at times. The story was kind of average, the quests were repetitive.
The Dialogues were kind of confusing. Why did they put voices in the cutscenes but not in the actual game? Despite this, the voice acting was surprinsingly good, when you did have some. The open world was well designed, but the caves were way too ard to navigate around. i was stuck in the cave looking for the sister for about three hours.
I feel like there was so much potentiol for the AI to be better, but the ennmies were just reatrds that ran in straight lines. If there was a wall, they would keep walking into it. The friendly NPCs were even more ****. They just stood there being weird. The graphics were simple yet beautiful. The soundtrack was nice. I still have the songs in my head today! I have discovered very little bugs.
Overall, this game is worth buying if you could find it for less than 10 bucks.

Now to be fair before I start this, I have only played about the first hour or 2 of the game, so I can't say how the whole game is. Anyway, I really tried getting into this game, but it was kind of bland and boring to me. Well, not all of it. There was moments that I felt could have been pretty **** the voice acting was a bit better and the cut scenes weren't so bad looking. The graphics are meh, but the frame-rate of the cut scenes are bad. The frame-rate for the game itself is pretty good though, it's just too bad the game overall (at least from what I played) ****. Maybe it gets better later on, but from what I played, it just wasn't too appealing.
