Introduction:

I don't know about all of you out there, but I really enjoy the series. I don't know what to call it other than the "Secret of" series. I found the game rather fun and frustrating at the same time... but trust me.. it's worth your money.

Story:

It's about this boy who gets cast out of Potos villiage for being called to the Sword of Mana. He then has to restore the sword and rid the world of all evil.

Gameplay:

It's really great because you get different weapons to upgrade and can go right up to the monsters and beat their faces in. But then again, they can do the same to you. The only downfall about this gameplay is that monsters can attack you from places that are farther away and sometimes off of the screen if they have a boomerang/bow

I give the gameplay: 9/10

Graphics:

For its time it was awesome.

I give the graphics: 10/10

Sound:

The sound is wonderful. They have efficient sound effects that go along with what your doing. They also have some pretty catchy tunes.

I give the sound: 10/10

Replayability:

Honestly I think it depends on how much you like the game to replay it. And you can go back and get things which you missed if your a get-all-of-the-items person.

I give the replayability: 9/10

Challenge:

I guarantee some of the bosses will make you mad, but after you find a strategy for them it'll be easier

I give the challenge: 9/10

Value:

If you ask someone who knows their stuff, you'll find it'll be 15-20 dollars; but if you get it from a friend you might get it for cheap.

I give the value: 8/10

Overall:

I''s a good game. Fun story, weapons, characters. You should have fun with this game.

I give Secret of Mana: 9/10

Conclusion:

BUY IT!
