   Closing Comments Don't worry if you've never played an Ys game before -- the story of Ys Seven is self-contained and easy to get into. The real fun comes from the game's battle system, which features plenty of action, special moves and enough coins to make Mario jealous. Even though the scope of the world is limited and the game requires some backtracking, I'd recommend this one to any JRPG fan looking for a portable adventure. Read more

   I've played too many Japanese role-playing games to count. When working out, I actually see experience points drifting up above my head, and I'm pretty sure the frog I accidentally killed with the weed whacker in middle school left behind some gold coins. Read more

   It's a shame that the characters aren't more fully fleshed out and that events hew so closely to role-playing game cliche, but ultimately Ys Seven rests on the strength of its action. This is an old recipe for hack-and-slash enjoyment, and while it may not be the most memorable or modern, there's something to be said for grand, giant bosses wiping the floor with you. Read more

   • Hack-and-slash loot goodness, Solid item-creation system, Hooray for giant nasty bosses.
   • Rote story, cliche characters, Some bosses are cheap.

   Ys Seven is the latest installment in the very long running Ys series. This was my first time playing an Ys game and I didn't know what to expect. I was not disappointed with what I found. The story is like any other Ys game where Adol and Dogi arrive in some new land and get involved in a journey to save the world. It sounds pretty generic but it has an excellent cast of characters and plenty of twists in the story. Gameplay wise Ys is an action RPG similar to Zelda. Read more
