Pandora's Tower Review
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but swords and chains excite me. Should you climb the towers in Xseed's JRPG/adventure hybrid to save your cursed (and tragically whiny) girlfriend?

What do these ratings mean?

This is the most graphic game that I have ever played. The graphics, when it comes to weaponary, are almost like a real weapon. When you change armor or even the appearance of your guy, you can really tell whats being done to him. I f you catch a sickness, your guy shows it until you get healed.
Even though the graphics are amazing and impress me very much so, the game is too hard itself. Every where I go I run into another obstacle for me to get pass. Each one of this obstacle's that I run into last along time to figure out...some taken me more than a day to figure out. The people that you interact with can be ticked off at you or they can be nice to you, most of the people that I run into were often mean to my guy. I could never figure out why they did not want to talk to my guy. I'm so lonely!
The game is great online, you can trade with others and use others to help you complete your assign task. How ever, some people online need to take a chill pill cause people often flip out if you still there weapons...if your from where I'm form (Pennsylvania) that usually gets you banned.
Well to get this reveiw over with, I'm going to say that this is a pretty decent game, but like all games...it has its own kinks to work out

    Firstly, there is no online gameplay. None. So thats just plain lies. Secondly, the game is not too "hard" cause theres a difficulty slide that you just failed completely to mention. The difficultly is far too easy anyway, I had to put it up cause I was just running around killing people in a couple of hits. I just finished the main quest, and to be honest, an eight year old could have done it, so I have no idea what "obstacles" you speak of. I do agree that the combat system is excellent though, and the graphics are excellent. There are kinks to iron out, and I mentioned them in my own review which should be on this page somewhere..

    1. there is no online play 2. what have you been smoking? 3. the obstacles are the whole point of the game 4. there is a difficulty slider in the options menu 5. if you think there are flaws in it, why did you give it an A+? 6. next time try playing the game before you review it
