I finished this game. Yup, that's right, *I* finished this game. I love these mindless hack and slash games. I only got stuck on one part and that was with the Red Dragon in the beginning. After that I basiclly cheated and got my character to level up and up by fighting this one boss that I could beat easily by hiding in the corner.
The game still took me many hours to finish and while it was very repetative and I hated the inventory syystem (WHich has been greatly improved in the NGC version) I would sit there for hours on end hitting the attack button. Pure mindless bliss!
