Alundra, unfortunately, is an often over-looked game.
The best way to describe the game is to say it is like the original Zelda games, but with much more difficult puzzles to solve. Seriously, some of them are killers; but a true sense of accomplishment only comes from overcoming difficult obsticles... or something like that.
One of the reasons I was drawn to this game is because it was localized by Working Designs. For those of you who don't know, Working Designs is a company that takes better than average games and translates them for us English speaking masses, and does an excellent job of it. Therefore, you will find that all of the dialog in the game makes sense, and doesn't sound like it was written by a three year-old.
The game itself is very fun to play. There are many areas to search out and explore, with a multitude of items to find and puzzles to solve. The story is rather original as well, and the graphics won't leave your eyes hurting.
If you haven't played this game before, and are looking for a new adventure game to try out, don't hesitate to get Alundra.
