Fun:
Alundra 2 brings back so many memories, but I'm not going to bore you with those! However I will tell you that you would be very silly to give this game a miss!
You play through the game as Flint, a wanted man, solving puzzles, playing mini-games and above all, following the amazing storyline! The puzzles are very clever and interesting, but they can become frustrating, as you need to solve them to continue with the story, but it's well worth it to persevere and get it done! The graphics aren't brilliant, but that is down to the standard of the consoles graphics. The game revolves around the use of the elements; Wind, Water, Earth and Fire, these solve puzzles and ultimately make the game easier and more enjoyable.
To play this game you do need to use your brain and be patient... or you could buy the guide for it, but let's all admit it, there's no fun in that! Alundra 2 is a "sequel" to "The Adventures of Alundra", however it does not follow on from that game as far as I know. Treat this game as it is meant to be: a stand-alone title.
You will either love or hate this game, it all comes down to your personal taste, but I do strongly reccomend giving it a go!

Going against the approval tide
13 April 2000
Durability:

I love RPG games and have been playing since they 1st came out. This game would have rec'd a 5 Star rating if it wasn't so very frustrating. It 'loads' so often its annoying. Its easy to figure out the puzzles and most are fun but just as you have put an hour into the game (with no save point in sight)it puts in a easy puzzle but an impossible to do in less than another hour or more - skill to learn. If you don't learn the skill and get through it you must lose the last hour or more you put into the game. I am halfway through the game and will probably not play it to the end. The current skill I'm on is to leap to a box which lights another box and the one you are one disappears. Not so hard to figure out, but almost impossible unless you accidently land in the right place at the right time facing the right direction to go more than a few blocks before you have to start all over. Again not unreal to do just long and frustrating. I play to be challenged and the feeling of accomplishment at the complition of a difficult skill and I have NEVER shut off a game so often and been willing to loose all my progress rather than get upset. So, 3 Stars is all it deserves in my opinion. This could have been a great game.

Miss the SNES and Genesis days?
6 Jan 2001
A solid but unspectacular action RPG. Gameplay is very similar to 16-bit games much like Beyond Oasis, Zelda 3, and Light Crusader with inventory management reminiscent of Y's 3. Basically just an old school hack and slash adventure with a block puzzle thrown in from time to time. Short of the occasional FMV and the 3D graphics this game could have easily been done years ago on older systems. Graphically it looks quite nice, but the camera angle is a little difficult at times. Overall a decent game that doesn't really live up to modern standards. Fans of titles like Soul Reaver and the PSX Final Fantasy games would be better off to look elsewhere.

Terrific Action/RPG with not so terrific graphics
11 April 2000

This game rocks! Its rare to find a game so well balanced between RPG and action elements. The difficulty level is not too tough, and they even have an easier version for newbies, but I recommend playing the more difficult one.
The only downfall to this game is the graphics. After playing graphic masterpieces like Final Fantasy VIII and Legacy of Kain, I have come to expect games not to be so grainy. The textures in the game are really ugly up close, plus the beginning of the game has one of the most blocky "FMV" sequences I have ever seen on the playstation(which, from what I understand, was made especially for American audiences to clarify the story. I found this unnecessary, plus all of the images are taken from the game itself)
If one can get past the not so clear graphics, the game itself is incredible. I recommend it to all Action/RPG fans.
