    This game is full of charm and is a unique adventure in amongst all the current FPS' etc. Since it has been out for a while now it is dropping in price and very within budget - I would've happily paid for it full price (I got it in a sale at the start of the year) but it has ranked in some of my top games. The relationship between the two characters is lovely and really enchanting. The Majin himself keeps you wanting to play through the story and discover more. There's a nice balance between combat, adventure, and puzzles. The difficulty isn't too high or low and it feels well polished. There are elements that are of course not perfect - sometimes textures weren't top shelf, and the voice acting does have its pitfalls, but a very quality game and it has fallen under the radar. I've written a more in depth and comprehensive review over here.

    I'v tried the demo back a few months ago, and it kinda had this charm. But i don't know. Kinda tierd of buying games that have this "thease" and nothing else.

    But as i'v seen this(and several other ppl saying it's good) i'll have a look soon :)

    @mubblegum:

    I bought it shortly after it's release for the full price and lost interest pretty soon. So... I'd say it's a matter of taste.

    It's nice little semi-open world adventure, and an interesting take on the escort mission where the player is the weak party and has to rely on the majin to bear the brunt of the attacks while trying to finish off enemies who are distracted or stunned. Got it cheaply and never regretted it for a second.
