The world is colorful and vibrant, chock full of personality. This carries through to the story and dialogue, which strike this perfect balance of being cheesy without being annoying; there's literally a laugh track during cutscenes and it somehow works perfectly. Oh, and of course, nearly every song is a banger.

In terms of gameplay, it controls pretty well, though fairly slow. I thought the castles (aka dungeons) were well structured, though the open outdoor areas were too large and sparsely populated, resulting in exploring a lot of empty space. The use of four characters that each have their own abilities and powers was also done nicely, as the later portions of the game continued to utilize everything at your disposal as opposed to forgetting those options exist.

This game is severely overlooked, as it really was one of the better examples of a 3D platformer / adventure game upon its release.

The thinking man's Ocarina Of Time.

Most overlooked game on N64, more people really need to play this and be aware of its quality.

It's biggest achievement was being able to make Pokemon fans go outside.

Unbalanced, grindy mess of a JRPG with tons of reused dungeons & enemies, writing that is in-your-face about gaming references, and ok visuals & music.

I loathe this game with every fibre of my very being
