One of the Best Games ever made, 13 January 2005
Author: Joe (josephwf13@yahoo.com) from PA, US

Crystalis is very similar to The Legand of Zelda and is just as good if not better. The adventure is amazing - Going from Town to Town buying weapons and armor and herbs, and talking to townsfolk and defeating dungeons/temples, and riding dolphins through oceans, killing bad creatures, a lesbian land. It's great. The only annoying part of it is in order to gain strength you must kill a vast amount of enemies which also increases your life span. Before entering the first dungeon it gets annoying running back and forth in the first land killing boring enemies for only one increase in strength as apposed to killing awesome enemies later in the game for 5 to 20 increases in strength. Although you can enter the first dungeon without increasing too high in strength but you will most likely die in that dungeon.

You have to wake up the guy in the windmill dungeon with the flute so that he will give you a key to turn on the windmill to allow the wind to blow away the rocks blocking the entrance to the first temple - it's an awesome concept.

The game is absolutely worth it and was completely overshadowed by the Zelda franchise which is a shame because Crystalis is an unbelievable game. I'm a huge Zelda fan and I like Crystalis better than the original Legand of Zelda. It would be awesome if they made a sequel. Maybe it'll still happen. This game is equal to greatness put into a single cartridge - go out and play it if you never have played it before because you must experience its greatness before your life ends. 10 out 10!
