What Gamespot Users have to say about Secret of Mana

  • Rating:9.6

    Simply Classic.

    It's been over 10 years since this game was released, and it continues to echo in my mind. It arrived with minimal hype, with nothing but an attractive yet unassuming cover design. At $69.99 I took the risk and bought it... Read Full Review

    This is how all action RPGs should be.

    Secret of Mana has quite possibly the best gameplay for any action RPG ever. It is extremlly fun, and the action never stops with tons of enemies, lots of weapons to get, and a good level of challenge. This is why I like... Read Full Review

    I might have played it a bit late but I am glad to have played it in the end.

    I am going to give this a high score because if I would have played it back in the day I could tell it would have made the same impact on me as the Final Fantasy III did. It has all the things that I love about an RPG,... Read Full Review

    Nobody can be told what the secret of mana is, they must see it for themselves. It's not often that a game comes along which stays in your mind, despite the ever growing and evolving game market. These days games look... Read Full Review

    The good old Super Nintendo favorite. The classic above all classics.

    How many people played this game as their first RPG? I don't know, but there are very many. To them, this game is THE game, the fond memory-bringer, and the classic that never gets boring, no matter how many times you ha... Read Full Review

    The only RPG that gives you a deep feel of adventure.

    Even if this classic is over 12 years old, I still play it, on my dusty old SNES that lies in the darkest corner of my bedroom. Every now and then you wish for a great RPG, but where you gonna find one? The modern RPG... Read Full Review

    Nice game, but it wasn't my cup of tea.

    I love SNES RPGs. I really do. So when I saw the Secret of Mana hanging on the wall of my toy store at the local mall back in 1994, I figured it was worth a shot. At first I was unsure what to make of it. The story... Read Full Review

    One of the many Squaresoft classics from the golden era of 2D gaming, this game really shines

    What an excellent treasure amongst its own series this game was. It had its predecessor released on the GB in the form of FF adventures, and the highly lauded title this one was never released stateside, a true pity. ... Read Full Review
