Atlus pulls it off again. I hadn't even heard of this game until I saw it in a local game store. I picked it up and was hooked immediately. The numerous references to classic games I played when I was younger just add to the hilarity and entertainment. In addition to the virtually infinite character creation possibilities of a block-based editor, mini games and the pursuit of trophies will add hours to play time. At first it may seem the story leaves something to be desired, but as this game is a heavy form of satire, this was clearly intentional. Caricatures of your favorite Legend of Zelda and Dragon Quest series characters will bring forth feelings of nostalgia, as well as bring a tear to your eye... from laughter.Going back to your roots will never be as entertaining or rewarding. Plus, doesn't every guy dream of wielding a gigantic sword?
