I can't remember why or when I bought this game, but it was worth every penny I might have paid for it. I know that some people would find it strange that a PS1 dungeon crawler featuring a fat married-with-child grocer could be an attractive prospect, but it is. This game is perfect. Not, I hasten to add, if you are looking for an enthralling story or eye- blinding graphical effects. The game delivers straightforward yet utterly addictive gameplay. It is the gaming equivalent of bread and cheese. But the very best, crisp, fresh bread, and the strongest, most flavoursome, mature cheese: basic and delicious.

Very solid feedback from Penguin. I pretty much second everything he's said

See, I'm not all bad. I should have probably just broken true's review down like this, too.

Aw, I never thought you were bad. For me, it's very possible to have heated discussions without feelings about the participants getting mucked up in it.

Yeah, now that it's laid out like that, it's gonna need some major reworking. I forgot to add the tagline, which was about the bread thing, but maybe that's just as well. And I really didn't explain how the gameplay works with the way that the enemies stay still if you do!
Don't panic! |

I'd agree there's a clash between calling the game perfect and then immediately summing up flaws and a bit of mockery at the story ("such as it is"). The latter works if you point out the story has no relevance to the quality of the game, but I'm not so sure that's what you meant to say.
