Customer Reviews: What AGE is this for????June 11, 2010 Gaming Mama 3 out of 8 found this review helpful
I'm a 30-something year old mom and I just bought this game because I thought it looked really cute. The graphics are nice and the music is great! HOWEVER....I'm not very far into the game, but I have to say that I am EXTREMELY disappointed in the commentary of this game. Your character is supposed to go around and chat with other characters in the game. So far....I've encountered comments about ....divorce, the advantages that girls with nice legs have, mean gossip about other characters in the story, how teachers only really look at the 1st and last papers (so it is better to have your assignment in the middle of the pile), etc. COME ON!!!! What age group is this supposed to be for??? I will definitely NOT let my children play this game. They don't need to be TAUGHT how to be snippy and deceitful and mean at school by a seemingly harmless video game. Very disappointed in the creators of this game....they didn't need to do this.
Fun game, but VERY hard to see when 'night' within the gameJune 8, 2010 K. Salinger(Bay Area, California) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I really liked this game until it became night time within the game environment. Even with my DS on it's brightest setting I can't see a darn thing! It's truly like being in pitch dark and trying to find your way around. Perhaps they felt this lent a realistic touch, however, it's frustrating and severely detracts from the fun for me. Because of it I ended up shelving the game. I'm sure I'll pull it out again soon to try and progress, but geez - what fun is a game you can't even see?
Cant give it a fair reviewFebruary 21, 2010 Heather Martin(North Carolina, USA) 0 out of 33 found this review helpful

Kind of Like Animal Crossing With MagicFebruary 11, 2010 William H. Roberts Jr. 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I find this game to be very interesting. The magic aspect of it makes it unique and you can interact with the other characters more than you can do in Animal Crossing. Every week there is some "case" to solve. That also makes the game interesting. There are a few flaws that keeps me from giving it 5 stars though. Using magic is not always easy to do. It's also difficult to figure out what to do at first - you kind of have to figure it out on your own. Still, its uniqueness makes it stand out. I give the game developers credit for trying something like this and making it work for the most part.
Pleasant surprise!January 30, 2010 Quiltmama(Port Orchard, WA United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you love Animal Crossing, you'll love Magician's Quest - Mysterious Times. Konami outdid themselves with this game. The first week or so of playing things move along pretty slow, but hang in there because the game rapidly progresses after that. It is full of surprises and fun. There is way more area to explore than in AC and more things to do. About the only drawback I can think of is that fishing is much harder in MQ than in AC. All-in-all, completely worth the money. Enjoy!
