"Longer then it should be"
This game is seriously long. When I rented I notices that there were two cases there. I thought something was wrong, but no it's actually suppose to be like that. IT'S FOUR DISC'S. I'm not lying. I thought I could just play them in any order like there were four different games, but it's actually one after another, once you beat one game disc, you half to put in the next and keep on playing. Have you ever heard of such a thing, that's like if you take any one of your own games and just play it four times in a row, then you'll know how long it is. Like what were they thinking, do they think we'll actually have the patience to play all those games. It will get really boring, really fast.
When you walking you'll be surprised to know that, you can't use any weapons and you can't jump, you're just walking (very exciting, eh?). Whenever you see an enemy (well you don't actually see them, instead you just walk somewhere an find them) you just stop and then you fight using some attacks and one character even has some magical powers you can use. But whenever you see them you just stop and lay a few hits on them, then move on.
The weaknesses of some of these enemies is just unbelievable. You really can't go through this game without looking at a game guide once or twice. For example: At the beginning you're fighting a tank, you can attack either the left gun or the right gun, most people would just attack one simultaneously then move on to the next one. But here just half to attack the left one then the right one. another example is the griffin fight, his weakness isn't Tornado's or Rock attacks, no that would make to much sense. Instead you need to use fire attack to kill him. That's not what I thought his weakness was. You see, this is just so unpredictable that you'll need to die, then try again with something different, then try again until you actually find his weakness.
This game seems interesting, but I really don't want to play through all four discs in order to see the ending. Plus, I bet when you beat it, it will just say The End.
If the game was a little shorter and you didn't half to stop in order to fight someone, then this might be a great game.

Now, I didn't write this review (I would have given it a 9.5), but the reviewer is obviously ~7-11 years old and has never played an RPG in his life, let alone a multi-disk game. I got a kick out of this and I hope you do too.
