I liked this game even though it seemed to not be as liked by others.

Well this will be my first review i've done on GameSpot, but i think this game deserves a chance. I haven't played of of the series only playing Secret of Mana and Sword of Mana. But based off those games i would rate this between them rating secret as my favorite and sword as my least of those 3 and this in between. When this came out i had been looking for something decent to play and remember how much i loved The Secret of Mana growing up i figured I would give it a chance. Personally I enjoyed the story and enjoyed playing through another Square game they tend to make the best. If your looking for something to pick up for the DS RPG wise this is definately one for those that enjoyed the previous games. The only things i didn't like were the magic system which i preferred the system they used in Secret of Mana compared to this and Sword of Mana, and i also still liked the weapon upgrade system better from Secret. I hate to compare it so that's the only things that i compare. If you got the time it's definately something worth picking up to mess around with if you enjoyed other games from this series I think it would be worth giving a shot.
