A very good game Dec 29, 2008
This is a very good game for the first Neopets game. It has an extremely large world, full of secrets and special items. The bosses arent that challenging, but other than that its a pretty good game. I would highly recomend it for Neopets fans, and even if you arent a very big neopets fan, It is somthing neopets fans and non neopets fans can enjoy. The game is full of side quests that are both challenging and sometimes fun. The music is very magical and is similar to medival music on some parts. The music is just perfect for any neopets game. Like I said, I would recomend it, and enjoy!!!

GREAT! Dec 26, 2008
I cannot begin to explain how great this game is! Firstly, it starts off with two our two heroes and main characters: Tor and Roberta. These characters are easy to relate to: They simply have a dream. And with these dreams, they travel to far lands to stop the Darkest Faerie (Where the neopets creators come from, this is how they spell 'Fairy') These lands vary in many ways, and most are similar to some we see in the real world!
The game is wonderful, a highly original plot and great for your tween. Yes, your TWEEN. When they say ages ten and up, they mean it. The end of act 1 may have them a bit scared, but when you end up in act three, your eight year old may be out. So if you have somebody under ten BEGGING for this game, either firmly tell them 'no' or acomponay them while playing some parts of the game. Trust me, this game will get anybody under the age of 10 frustrated and scared.
There is some glitches, one MAJOR glitch you should be aware of: Do NOT save in the Hall of Heroes in the beginning of act 4. You shut off your station, guess what? You're back to hearding your little sister's whinneys. YES, this glitch restarts your entire game!
Overall, the game was great and a fun expierience. You may have tough time in some parts, but looking up a game guide will be helpful and once you finish it once, most likely you'll fly through it if you choose to play a second time. But I think that the game inventors wanted to make us see past game play, and wanted us to see the valuable lesson we've heard oh so many times, but maybe after this we'll listen: Anybody can follow their dreams, anybody can make it happen. This game is the symbol of hopes and dreams.

A fun family game Jun 30, 2008
I love this game, it has been one of my favorites and I can even play it and I am not good with video games.
The only down side is it gets dark and my eye sight can't see in the dark, we lighted screen and it was better.
It is a great family game that our whole family really enjoyed! We are so glad we got it.

A few glitches but fun nonetheless Apr 02, 2008
I am in my mid twenties and endure a bit of teasing from friends about owning this game. Each time I get teased, I turn the game on and my friends change their minds and ask if they can try it.

The game has a few glitches here and there, I played through once to find them all, and now I can avoid them easily. I would recommend saving frequently.

I can see how this game might be a little scary or intimidating for younger children, and I would recommend parents play through once before letting their children play, or at least supervise the first play-through.

I have been a big fan of Zelda for a long time now, and I constantly wish it were available on the PS2. This game comes pretty close to it though.

And keep in mind folks, this game is based on a CHILDREN'S WEBSITE. If you are disappointed in it for not being adult enough for you then you are expecting something that Neopets has never been.

Thumbs up from me!

cute but disappointing Sep 06, 2007
Having been an adult Neopets addict since the web site's early beginnings I really expected more from this game. From a RPG veteran's standpoint the graphics are very primitive, but that's because it was created for the PS One and had a late release.

You really need to download a free guide online to navigate the game because there are sidequests, hidden secrets and many things that will stump you along the way.

Things in this game can be annoying depending on your patience level. If you aren't a jumping game fan it can get frustrating. And without listing any spoilers I will say there are aspects of this game that will drive you crazy until you figure them out. If you are a Neopets fan you know that's the norm but some kids new to to the genre might not have the patience for this game. It sure tested mine.

The boss fights are fairly easy until chapter three (for me it was forget getting past the Hissi without a cheat.) It's really more about strategy and which character you use.

Overall it was a good attempt at a first game for Neopets and it fit in with their online storylines but I prefer their website. It's a good game with a lot of play hours if you are still enjoying your Playstation 2 and want to add to your collection.
