First off, let me tell you that Dragon Force is an excellent game that I very highly recommend. It's my favorite Working Designs game since Lunar 2. However, I never ever see a bad review of it, and there are things wrong with it. A perfect game it is not.     

  The thing that bothers me most about Dragon Force is that several of the character designs are recycled. Many of the ninjas, samurai, spirit walkers and mages look exactly alike, say the except same things and have the exact same skills. Couldn't you come up with a couple more character designs guys? Also, some of the music, while well done, gets tedious. They did help that by having each of the rulers have different music. And while the game is a lot of fun, the RPG aspect of the game is very predictable, nothing at all out of the ordinary and maybe just the slightest bit ... dull. I found myself saying, "Just let me fight Goldark, I know about the 8 Chosen Ones already!" Also, sometimes I found that I felt like I had fought certain battles before, and I knew exactly what I had to do for a crushing victory.   

   Overall, I loved this game and would recommend it to a friend in a heartbeat. This review was less than flattering, but I have yet to play a perfect game. No offense to the loyal Sega fan who wrote the other article, but no game (in my own twisted and demented opinion) ever deserves a ten. I would agree with him in his review of the highlights, and this was just pointing out some of the lowlights. Please don't kill me.
