Legend of Mana Guide
Legend of Mana- Is a great game! I needed to buy the guide to go with it- To help find all the secrets and how to get the most out of the game.
The guide was helpful- It shows the correct path to take in order to complete all the side quests, hints on bosses, how to solve puzzles, and the maps provided were also helpful.
If you buy the game- I suggest you get the guide as well. After you beat the game- You can replay it- With all your money, levels, and equipment etc.
So replay value is high- You can also choose a harder game mode- To make the game more challenging- Only after beating it though.
You can upgrade weapons, armor, and even make accessories- The guide will help you with materials and where to find them.
The Guide- Is a must if you want to make sure you take the right path to complete all the side quests.
Lots of surprises in this game! The guide will help you find them.

Valkyrie Profile- Complete Analysis of the game- 9.5!
0 of 3 found this helpful Hello there
I enjoy playing this game alot!
It is alot like Final Fantasy but its expoloration is entirely different.
The game is divided into 8 chapters where you have to do a specific task given to you by the Goddess Freya. Do well in your task and you get material points as well as artifacts.
Material points- Help you create unbreakable weapons, armor, and accessories
Artifacts- Are rare items given by the gods, found after defeating bosses, or occassionally found in chests in the Cave of Oblivion.
Cave of Oblivion is fun but very challenging at low levels- Its best to run passed the monsters and get out- Tou will see what I mean if you try to take on Chapter 8 monsters when you are only in Chapter 1.
Dungeons and Towns- Each require you to give up periods of time. Once periods of time run out the next chapter begins- So you need to manage your time wisely and not just go in and out of dungeons leveling.
You should only do that after completeling Freyas request.
Freya asks for souls to battle against the Vanir. A warring race opposed to the gods. Some chapters she may ask for a warrior and others a sorcerer etc with specific abilitues- You want to meet these demands so you can get the most material points possible- And you want to please the gods and not anger them. By not following Freyas instructions you risk material points and evaluation points.
By sending the gods a warrior that fits their needs they will reward you. Sadly you lose that warrior to the gods- The upside you get the characters back at the end of the game- So you are able to play them again.
Odins Chests- Has some of the most exclusive items in the game- Called artifacts. Some artifacts are very valuable and others are not useful at all. You lose Evaluation Points by keeping these forbidden chests. Sometimes its worth making the gods mad :) I recomed saving before the bosses then defaet them and analyze what items you should keep, and what items should be given back to Odin. Many items give you a great amount of material points if you convert them to material points.
One example of a great item- Is a maic mirror that reflects magic spells back 50% of its time back on the spellcaster. If you give it back to Odin its gone for good :(
Let me break it down for you
+1 Evaluation point for every Artifact from Odin you give back
-5 Evaluation points for every Artifact from Odin you keep
I do not recomend keeping all the items- Unless you want the C ending Where the goddess Freya becomes angry and its game over for you.
I do recomend keeping some of them though- For use in battle, or to convert to material points.
There are 3 endings- These all depend on your choices in the game.
Characters- A great range of characters- If you are a fan of fighters- There will be enough for a whole party of them. Sorcerers- Same thing
All can be customized with abilities to fir your needs.
There is a walkthrough on skill points on the game that explains it.
Battles- You can dodge enemies by jumping over them, or slash them with your sword and choose to fight them- This will engage you into a battle like the Final Fantasy series.
I suggest only running when you cant handle a foe.
;eveling- You need to level up as much as possible per chapter- Because every time you leave and renter a dungeon you lose time periods- This in turn puts you closer to the next chapter.
Only dislike- Periods of time
I give it 9.5 out of 10!

The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess for GameCube
2 of 2 found this helpful For starters- I have always been a fan of the Zelda series. I have been playing the series since the very 1st one came out on the NES.
Twilight Princess- I loved the graphics, vivid color, and the storyline really drew me in. There were new weapons to master- Weapons that Link has never used before in any of the other series.
The ability to change into a wolf- Was also a plus. It made traveling and fighting alot more interesting.
The map- Was much larger then any Zelda game I have ever seen. I had to be in wolf form or have the horse to make it from place to place.
The new skills- Link had new skills to learn with his sword- I really enjoyed earning those new abilities. It made fighting enemies alot more fun.
The mini games- I enjoyed collecting the all the golden bugs, defeating all the Poes, and fishing for the rarest fish in the game.
My favorite mini game was Roll Goal- Found in the hut where Link was able to fish. That mini game in itself kept me entertained for hours.
The classic characters- I am always happy to see them return along with some new ones to keep the story interesting.
The dungeons- Were huge! Much bigger then any dungeons ever seen in the series. I spent at least 3 to 4hrs in each one. And some of the harder levels 5+hrs.
The dungeons were challenging!
Then there was the ultimate dungeon- The Cave of Ordeals- 50 levels of intense fighting where enemies failed to give you hearts. But if you could reach the bottom you were given a great reward! You also received bonus's along the way.
I bought this for both the Gamecube and the Wii.
I preferred the Gamecube version over the Wii for several reasons.
1. The Wii controller drains batteries- While playing Zelda on the Wii my controlelr ran out of batteries and I was not even able to get out of a dungeon. I was so mad that I have not finished Zelda off the Wii yet.
Compared to the Gamecube version- There are no batteries for that controller. So you can play as long as you like without worrying about the batteries running out on you.
2. I got tried of slashing with my arms with teh Wii controller. The Gamecube you just hold the controller push a few buttons and you can play alot longer without getting tired or frustrated.
3. The Wii controller forces you to use 2 controllers- Give me the one hand held controller anyday. The Wii controller is fine for some games. But for me it just did not work out with Zelda.
I bought the game because I am loyal to the series. I beat Zelda II on the old NES- Considered the black sheep of the series. But I still beat it. Also Majora's Mask I thought was even worse- You have a time limit? Thats just awful- But I still beat it.
I am loyal to both the Zelda and Final Fantasy series.
So if you are a fan of the Zelda series I would definately recomend you buy it.
If you enjoyed The Ocarina of Time- You would like the Twilight Princess.
To me it was definately worth the money, as well as the time spent playing it.
