Comment

This game is the hands-down champion if anyone ever asks "Hey, can you name a game that's REALLY fun to play, despite the fact that the main character looks like a stupid Lego-Man with a hole in his head and the plot is almost non-existant?"...

Let's start at the beginning. Want to hear the plot? *Begin sarcasm* OK, but be warned, it's so clever and chilling, you'll either be getting nightmares about it, or you won't because you can't sleep as you'll be up all night pondering it! *End sarcasm* The Kingdom (I think it's called Lakeland) is in trouble. Demons have appeared, and the water suddenly becomes muddy!! OH NO!! What are we going to do? Call NASIR, the Champion of Light! He'll be sure to save the day by calling the Exorcist and ordering a Brita purifier! ...Well, that would be the obvious choice of what I'D do, but just to make this game long, you get to wander all around Lakeland killing monsters, and finding the evil force behind the pollution and defeating him, thus restoring peace (and purified water) to the land.

Based on that description, you'd think I'd give it a 1, right? WRONG!! When you factor in the Gameplay, that's so fun it brings it up to the 9 I gave it. You don't know why you play the game with the stupid-looking hero and the ridiculous so-called "plot"...but you do...and you get addicted...and it's...it's...FUN!! To make it sound A LOT simpler than it is, picture Zelda only you can jump, and it's a lot more fun than that. Erm...just play it and you'll see.
