i wouldn't call it sucky but it's averagish as it get and i don't understand why the fan are so obsessed with it (other than "NINTENDO GAME HURR DURR") as himuro said none of the "wacky" bits are that funny at all (tough i must make an exception for the dungeonman and the whole fourside part) and the battle system is dragon quest 1 bland so really i don't get it.....
ehy himu why you don't give a spin to metal max return? it has a horrible battle system but it gets wacky done right and as a plus it's a free roaming game,there is no plot to follow at all other than "go defeat the final boss when you feel like doing it"
