New FanDec 01, 2005
By Vigilantes Sidekick My wifes brother recommended this game for my daughter who is 5 and I to play together. I have to say that for a kid to be able to play and understand everything by themselves they would most likely have to be around 9 or 10 since their is a lot of reading and map following, but we were looking for a game to play together so this one is great. The graphics have a good clean look to them and the worlds are fun to explore around and see whats around ever corner. I would say its the first game of this type that I have played. Its like exploring the kind of world any child would want to live in with caves, mountians, forests, castles and sewers. We havent beaat it yet but the two of us have had great fun so far.

This game is really fun!Dec 18, 2005
By J. Bechtloff My son and I are having a really good time playing this game. It's really really long, and not too hard or frustrating so my 7 year old can have fun with it! I like the fact that it encourages reading skills, I also like the fact that good guys are good, and bad guys are bad! it reinforces right from wrong!
The graphics are pretty and the music is great! In an age where games are getting increasingly more and more violent and and geared for teenage boys, it is a refreshing change to play a game that is really fun for kids. I have to admit I am having fun playing it too! My son likes to solve the puzzles and do the quests, and he likes me to help him with the fighting in the dungeon areas, so we switch off!
I also like the fact that the game has a strong girl character, that seems to be pretty rare in games now days (since most games are designed for teenage boys) and I think that will make this game appealing to girls as well as boys.
Over all this game is good wholesome family entertainment that I would recommend for anyone who likes to play games with their kids!

The Awesomest Faerie TaleDec 08, 2005
By Griffinstorm

I bought the darkest faerie about two or three days after it was released and my mother and I are still playing it. The graphics are so cool. The controls on PS2 are easy to learn and get familiar with.
You start out with one character, Tormund, and later on in Act 2 you play Roberta, but the best part is when they get together in Act 3. There are so many items you can gain through treasures and quests.
I find the traveling from one place to another somewhat tedious, but I guess it's better than zapping from one place instantly. It gives you a more real time sort of feeling, having to roam a large mapped area, and trying to stay oriented with what direction you are headed can be challenging.
The petpets are useful when kept fed. I particularly liked the cute little Noil's. But I think the Turmac is the most useful, as it increases both health and magic, and boosts attack and defense. It is just difficult to keep it fed, as it likes to run around a lot.
The sword fighting in the game is not just hack and slash. There are different swings depending on the speed of button pressing, or rotating of the joystick. The magic wand is good for long range attacks. Magic is a key to defeating types of monsters, using motes that vary your attacks. One astounding game. Is good for ages 10 and up.
So far there is no player's guide for it (There is a map inside the game package), but there are helpful people on the message boards at [...] who can answer any questions you might have. I found that very useful to overcome puzzles that eventually stumped me. It's a fun game, and yes I'd give it an educational rating for its map reading and puzzle solving skills. It's about as durable as any CD is and should be taken care of. I won't give it a 5, but more of a 4.5, something rather close.

Neopets shineNov 25, 2005

Stick to the age rating when purchasing-my 8 year old was intimidated by level 3 and it's intensity. Graphics are excellent-would recommend for older Neopet enthusiasts.
