DESCRIPTION
Brought to your Super NES by the makers of the Final Fantasy series, Secret of Mana is a wonderful game that fans of The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past and other action-oriented RPGs will thoroughly enjoy. This epic saga lets up to three gamers (with the help of a multi-tap adaptor) explore a vast, lushly illustrated world filled with monsters and secrets. There's occasional slowdown (when too many characters are onscreen at once), but this is virtually the game's only fault. The battles are enjoyable, there's plenty of upgradeable weaponry (sword, axe, whip, spear, boomerang, gloves, bow, javelin) and magic, the musical score is appropriately grand, and the storyline, which features a number of plot twists, is engrossing. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide

“Haha, my g/f loved this game as a kid, even though she couldn't read. I didn't even know it was multiplayer until the game was almost over, but it was so much fun, with or without other people playing.”

“One of the best in the series as well as Legend of Mana, I don't know why but the Mana series always gets the short end of the stick in Square's big master plan. People beg for a new title and the titles usually come up short for some reason. This game is different though, I'm just going off on a tangent. The beauty of this game was it was massive, and you could explore with a friend and kick ass together. It's very challenging and likes when you grind. With a friend it's a lot of fun, alone it gets a little tiresome but it's not really an issue. I like this game, and if you like any of the new Mana games, look into the game that started it all.”

“In some ways I'd say this game is overrated. Its characters are cardboard cut-out, typical naive RPG protagonists; the general story has been told a million times. What secret of mana does do, is throwout typical turnbased combat for fluid real time.”
