 Jere: Master of the Universe's Review! Jul 12, 2010
I loved this game! If you're looking for an old fashioned level grinding, turn based RPG then I highly recommend this game. Don't let the childish look fool you, for the type of game it is, Nostalgia has a surprisingly deep storyline. That being said I wouldn't recommend this game for anyone under 13. Its not violent or vulgar, you just need to be willing to spend a lot of time doing the same thing and most kids would probably get bored with this if a few minutes. But for 13 and older its a really really good game!

 Great Game Apr 14, 2010
This is a classic style RPG, but it should not be compared to other RPG's when rating it (the game was designed how it was on purpose and not to try to beat out other RPG's). Describing the story would be boring so I will just give a review based on the IGN rating system.
Presentation: 5/5
The case looks standard and does not give any false implications that the game is amazing without earning it. As the back of the case states, the game takes place in an alternate 19th century time period, and it mixes mythology into real and fake locations. ESRB rates the game at everyone 10+ so there is no blood or inappropriate language. The game manual has all necessary information and even tells what character stats mean (not mentioned in the game) and is in English and French. The in game menu features an "Adventuer's Notebook" which stores some random game data as well as completion percentages for aspects of the game. Also on the menu is the option to Save game on 2 slots or Quick save and quit.
Graphics: 5/5
It is made for the DS (so expect DS graphics...) and features "3D" graphics, there is nothing to complain about. There are no skips in FPS rates, no bugs I have found. Really if they spent all their time on graphics then the gameplay would be garbage like is done with most games.
Sound: 5/5
Once again it is a DS RPG so you can't expect what is found on other systems. The sound is fine and upbeat, and the only complaint that people might find is that the music does not change when revisiting areas, but that is common in a supermajority of games.
Gameplay: 5/5
The controls arent complicated at all. Grinding (leveling in one spot for a long time) is not necessary for most of the game but helps for some bosses and does not usually take very long. There is usually a save point right before the bosses so you have plenty of health and infinite do-overs. Save often though because some bosses are unexpected. Some people think that the ship battles are too hard but they are not. Most leveling in the game wont be done during air battles and at a certain point you can just instantly flee from the battles anyway. The story is awesome, fairly self-explanatory, and pretty original. It's hard to rate originality when games share a lot of the same characteristics, so don't expect it to blow your mind.
Lasting Appeal: 3.5/5
How long you stay with the game is dependant on a lot of factors but it has plenty of appeal. There are side quests to do, and optional bosses to fight even after the main game is over. The low score is because of lack of replay value, which doesn't matter to some people anyway on an RPG like this, simply get the most out of it that you can on the first playthrough.
Overall: 9.5-10/10
Just keep in mind that the game was made how it is intentionally. I'm not sure but I would say that the developers spent plenty of time on it and it shouldn't be missed just because it is not well known.

WONDERFUL old-school JRPG Mar 04, 2010
This is a GREAT old school game. It seems that the best JRPGs only come out on the DS anymore... only complaint is that there are only 2 save spaces... hope you didn't really want to share... ;)

Nostalgia Feb 26, 2010
Nostalgia was great purchase for me since I love geography and mapping. The game is addicting and it was hard for me to even put it down to do everyday things after I first started playing it. The package when it arrived from Amazon was not in very bad condition, but it had a few dents in it and at first I was worried about how it would work, but once I started played it; it worked great and it still does today so I am very pleased by the purchase other than the few dents that were in my packaging when it arrived.

Fun Game Feb 03, 2010
My 10 yr old grandson loves this game. He enjoys the airship and exploring the towns. He says the Boss fights are a little bit hard. He would recommend this game to others.
