SUZUME, MYSTERIOUS SUNRISE
Author: Bonzai

Reviewed by: Slade

Intro: (97%)
Really nice intro, with the godsent fireballs,
those were the best thing in any intro i've seen
so far.
Also, The changing of lighting was good for the mood
of the scene.

Graphics: (65%)
Most of the tilesets were default, with some other added.
All of the characters were replaced, but the tilesets were
used poorly. For example, all the houses looked crummy, and
at some places, tiles didn't fit in at all.
Others might like the character pictures, I just found them
rip-offs.

Cutscenes: (+20%)
YES! YES! YES!, finally someone uses avi-movies.
Even though there were only two, I loved them.
+20% on overall score.

Sounds/Music: (75%)
Good music, quite original, with some exceptions.
Nice sounds, but few.

Story/Plot: (50%)
Blah blah blah, chase the badguy around the world, then chase
him some more.
It got tiresome after the first part of the chase.
Otherwise, good story, that with the army of the dead and such.
The story-telling old man was great.

Playability/Bugs: (80%)
I found no bugs, but all scenery was "dead", by that I mean
that you couldn't search anything (exception: the wells)
Searching for secrets is part of the fun in an RPG.
Couldn't walk behind trees, lots of spelling errors,
(or grammar errors).
At first, battles were really well balanced, then things got
WAY out of hand. The characters were either too mighty or too
puny for the battles.
The battle in crem was INSANE!!!

Overall score: 75%
(Thanks to the AVIs)
