IGN Rating

7  |Presentation
The art style is fantastic and the storyline is engaging enough. Too bad the game suffers from so many random glitches.

7  |Graphics
Certain areas and characters shine, others look remarkably SD.

7.5|Sound
Some solid tracks here, but many are overused and occasionally out of place. More variety would have been much appreciated.

8  |Gameplay
The action is fun, even though the enemies and puzzles can be repetitive. The RPG elements are incredibly well-implemented.

7.5|Lasting Appeal
There's plenty to do, and certainly plenty of fun to be had, but it's all stretched thinly across a far too long adventure. Less would have been more, in this case.
