- GREAT GAME, BUT IT REALLY CHEATS LIKE INSANE!!i agree with the good stuff about this game in the other reviews, so i won't waste time there. The good stuff outways the bad stuff, but here is what i consider to be the "bad stuff."
this game CHEATS on an INSANE level!! it REALLY does. i'm mainly talking about when you face off against the computer in the higher levels of the game. for instance, the computer gets critical hits left and right, and @ pivital moments in the fight. you almost never get them except when you were going to knock out the enemy anyway. when you're affected by an adverse condition it's effect is nearly double what it's supposed to be, and for the computer it doesn't do much. sleep? he wakes up next turn. confused? he's unconfused next turn, or if longer, he almost never attacks himself. paralyzed? the 25% attack prevention becomes about 5%. attract? prevents attacks about 1 out of 10 times. also, when you use 100% accuracy attacks, they miss about 1 out of 10 times. when computer uses 50% accuracy moves, it hits about 85% of the time. moves that have 1 in 10 of putting adverse condition on you? they do it about 45% of the time. all in all, basic strategy helps you get through first half of the game, from there on out you can ONLY win by luck. why? because the rules of the game go out the window for the computer attacking you, and get harder for you attacking it. if you have a bad temper, it gets really frustrating, so if you're gonna get this game, buy about 5 copies, 'cos you're gonna SMASH @ least 3-4 of them. other than the fact that the game developers should be lynched, this game is really great!!
