    The style of the game is pure anime, with that Old West thing thrown in, but on the blocky side.
  2. Worth Playing
    85
    Wild ARMS Alter Code: F contains too many technical and presentation missteps to be considered a classic worthy of the hallowed halls of RPG Valhalla, but coasting along on story and style alone takes it far.
  3. PSX Extreme
    82
    A solid remake of a classic game.
  4. IGN

    It's a little linear, a little easy, and a little unattractive, but the characters still have a lot of personality, the dungeons are actually fun to navigate, and there's enough extra content here to keep you busy for quite some time.
  5. GameSpot

    The classic gameplay remains largely the same, and although certain elements haven't weathered the years all that well, fans of the series and dedicated RPG junkies will get good mileage out of this one.
  6. Gaming Target

    At the very least Wild Arms: Alter Code F is as good as its source – though seeing that the original Wild Arms was a decent, but not great PS1 RPG, that perhaps isn't saying much.

    Newcomers or devotees to the RPG genre may find some basic value in it, but my feeling is that most players who've been there and done that probably won't want another helping.

    The original Wild Arms is my favorite game by far, so when Alter Code: F arrived, I almost wet myself.... Until I bought the game. While The original Wild Arms is my favorite game by far, so when Alter Code: F arrived, I almost wet myself.... Until I bought the game. While story, graphics, and certain parts of the game have been enhanced, I was disappointed with other parts of gameplay that have been taken out from the first one. For instance, the amount of items to collect and how to collect them are seriously lacking.… Expand

    Boring and uninspired gameplay combined with the most dull and cliché story/characters makes for a very unappealing experience. The puzzlesBoring and uninspired gameplay combined with the most dull and cliché story/characters makes for a very unappealing experience. The puzzles are an insult to the players intelligence. People are seriously looking back at these games through rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia. One has to wonder how we managed to play these subpar games 15 years ago. The only redeeming factor is the soundtrack and it's not even something you will find memorable which says alot about the game. Stay away from this title... for your own sanity.… Expand
