Well if you think you should get it get it its not our choice to tell you what to do
Eh, go for it. I've played it for a few minutes and enjoyed it, and if you've got a buddy to play it with it'll be even more fun!
It was fun. If you like Mana games, you probably want to pick it up. It is very different from the other games, being that it is a dungeon crawler. As such, its plot is rather weak, with most of the emphasis on gameplay. It is very fun to go into the levels with the hammer, or the the sword, and watch the monsters go flying around the room.
So, if you're looking for a complex and compelling story, I wouldn't get it. If you're looking for something fun to pick up and play on the go, then it might be a good buy. On a side note: Pretty Graphics!
you should rely on the reviews, i say its pretty accurate. i've got the game but never really played it.
*slides into the thread*
Wow.
I've heard many many things about this. I have yet to play it but anything that's Seiken Densetsu-y, I'm there.
Most complaints say that the game goes by too fast and character build up is somewhat fail. When comparing this to the games of the series everyone tends to say this game is a combo between Secret of Mana and Sword of Mana(originally Final Fantasy Adventure for the gameboy(which I personally like better than Sword of Mana but what ever)) Seeing as sword of mana was a remake of FFA remade in the Secret of Mana style, you'd think this game would have the same gameplay and fun twists as they had, yeah that's not right. If your like me, a person who after maxing out stats STILL goes to areas to smash helpless rabites, then you'd prolly like it. 'Cause you know, you get to smash stuff and that's awesome. :smash:
Just as a general statement to everyone, If your someone who hasn't played SoM I honestly wouldn't recomend letting Children of Mana being a first Mana game. I say play through SoM go to Children of Mana and it'll be like night and day. :razz:
So Sword of Mana is the same game as FF Adventure?
Have they released SD3 in the USA under some Mana title that I missed? I never played Legend of Mana, Sword of Mana or Children of Mana. I played and LOVED Secret of Mana, and FF Adventure was cool, too. Not as good as SoM, but still really good.
i am currently playing CoM and so far i have really enjoyed it but i dont think it will take me more than 40 hours to finish 100%, but keep in mind im a total pro
Yes, it's a complete remakeQuote:

If you like mana games then you'll like this one. I had fun with it, although I'm not done yet :p
The thing that I spent the most time doing in the game was trying to get every single gem. The game isn't difficult, but it's addictive and fun. I loved it, and played it a lot until I got FFIII DS and FFV GBA, now I play those two, but will go back to CoM eventually.
THE JACKEL
There are better games on the DS, this one is missable. If you see it for a discount or a bargain bin, then go for it.
I am a Mana fan--not a huge one, but I like the series probably more than I like FF. There are simply many more fulfilling and worthwhile games that you should get first.
