Children of Mana: Underappreciated

User Rating: 7.5 | Seiken Densetsu DS: Children of Mana DS
This game deserves more than a 5.8. Sorry, GameSpot, I have to disagree with you on this one.

Children of Mana is an RPG that is pretty solid. Not the best game ever, but decent. The gameplay is fun and enjoyable. You get a sword, bow and arrow, and other various weapons. I must admit that is it quite relaxing to slash the enemies with the sword.

The music is pleasant. The graphics, though, are where this game shines. The game looks like a watercolor painting. The vibrant colors of the game bring the characters to life. The plot is okay, I've played games with a much deeper plot, but also played games with a much worse plot.

Overall, Children of Mana is worth a shot. Some will probably find it too easy, but I thought it was just about right for what I want in a game. You can find it out there for cheaper now, definitely less than the original price of $34.99.
