So, I bought this game with some awesome art on it, see? I put it into the Wii and hit 'start' see? And then BOOM. AMAZING cut scene graphics hit me! I am in absolute LOVE with this game, it starts off with you, the player, being Chocobo, an exploring Chocobo in the Land of Sands with Cid, both being treasure hunters looking for the Gem of Power (or something I forget). And then you find that, none other than IRMA and Volg are there and they got it first! But without even time enough to breathe, you're thrust into the world called Memoria into a town where every time the bell tolls, you lose your memories! Chocobo must fight through countless dungeons to retrieve the memories of not only the townspeople, but also his dearest friend Cid! Witih the help of Rafaello, you save the memories of each person you come across! The game is riddled with games and side options for you and your children to enjoy for hours on end. I've only just purchased it, and being a leveling monger as I am, am still playing it, and will most likely start over as many times as possible to enjoy it even further. The game even has our beloved Mog in it as several super heros rumored to have been there for over 20 years! (though it's questionable as, you know, they all lose their memories). Also, it's a classic style roleplay game. It's turn based, somewhat along the lines of pokemon dungeon if you think about it. If you move forward a square, that counts as your turn, and whatever you're fighting has every right to beat the living snot out of you. It gets tricky at times when you're in the dungeons where you have limited eye space, and there are special dungeons where you can't bring in items, level limits, 1 hp limits (I found this particularly irritating), and even item reversal limits. Regardless of such, the game is immensely fun and very addicting, I find it hard to get myself away from the television long enough to let my family watch whatever's on (I'm very tempermental about who touches my console). So far I give it a 9/10. Why not all ten? Because randomly bobbing mouths does not dubbing make. It stays true to the final fantasy graphics style in the cutscenes, which, for Nintendo (much less the Wii), makes me a little happy final fantasy fangirl inside. Hopefully others will enjoy it just as much as I have.Read full review
Okay so I just got this and started playing and from what I have seen so far this game is pretty good for a Final Fantasy game just about Chocobos! Now maybe I m biased since I am a hardcore FF fan and I LOVE chocos! This game is old school rpg game play. You move one and the enemy move on. Your Choco has to eat though to "keep up." This game dont seem to hard to play (well its for kids so...) But beside the actual game play I really like the graphics...and the soundtrack will definatly take you back to FF 7! Of course Wii probably won't be making to many good RPGS or Final Fantasies so this is good for now! Enjoy your game!
I've been waiting for a great random-dungeon Final Fantasy like this to finally be released on the Wii. Some of the older ones like Torneko for the PS 1 were really poor and confusing. Others like Azure Dreams were pure success every step of the way. This one is right there with it... its got Chocobo who can change classes... who can change and upgrade weapons (his are claws)... many of the dungeons have remixed and original FF music in them from prior FF games and really adds icing on top of an already fabulous game. Don't miss this one!

This game has a very basic strategy, turn-based system. But the quality of this game is pretty good. Although the character's voices don't always match thier lips that is one small thing compared to the huge quality of this game. Unlike its predecessor for the playstation, this Chocobo's Dungeon uses a 3d take on this brilliant gameplay. You have so many different varieties of moves that can put you at an advantage or disadvantage whether or not you use them right. Even the most experienced player will have a hard time completing this game with no errors, but they would certainly have fun trying. This game has around 50 hours of gameplay if you want to do everything and it has some minigames that are pretty fun when you want to take a break from normal gameplay. I recommend this game for all gamers, average and hardcore. This game is fun for everyone.Read full review
