    A decent Dragon Quest hack. Funnish though.

    By Ornjlightning | Review Date: May 08, 2010 | PS

    Take dragon quest. Remove the first person view and class choice. That's all you need to strip away to get this game. I'm not necessarily saying this is a bad game. No comparison to stuff like Final Fantasy or Legend of ... Read Full Review

    Beyond the Beyond was slow and agonizing.

    Beyond the Beyond is a gem lost in time

    The game is quite easy. I would rather have a bit more difficult game. But was fun to play.

    Not as much underrated as simply under marketed, During its time it was pretty good and worth a look for any RPG fan.

    By cosmostein77 | Review Date: Mar 08, 2006 | PS

    Many reviews have called this game "nothing new" or more of the same, and its not that I disagree with the reviewers but rather I disagree that this should be seen as a bad thing. The problem when Sega Saturn died an... Read Full Review
