Description of Legend of Mana

Billed as the sequel to the Super Nintendo's Secrets of Mana, Legend of Mana's story contains more than 60 self-contained miniquests, but generally the goal is to restore the world's Mana, or life energy. Gamers won't need to be obsessive about winning all the quests, but there are some challenges that must be completed if you wish to reach the final showdown. The game begins as players choose either a male or female lead character while a map displays the new lands within the world of Fa'Diel. In each of these lands, players will find items and clues they can use in other lands. The fragmented nature of the game can be disorienting for gamers looking for quick gratification. A diary can be used to keep track of current miniquests, while an encyclopedia neatly organizes the vast amount of story players uncover. Due to the vast nature of this game's plot, you'll likely need these features to stay focused on your quests.

Anime fans will be wowed by the character design and beautifully illustrated storybook backgrounds. The game includes a Pok?mon-style monster-raising element, which is surprising for a teen-rated RPG, but it works well. --Porter Hall

Pros:

• Pok?mon-style monster raising adds nice nurturing element to RPG tasks
• Nonlinear quest system makes story engrossing
• Stunning hand-drawn backgrounds

Cons:

• Music is at times absurdly overdramatic
• Second player controls character only during battle
