Editorial Review:
Children Of Mana takes us back to ages past, when an island called Illusia floated at the center of the world. At the heart of the island towered an ancient, enormous tree that stretched up to the very heavens. When a time of darkness comes, chaos and sorrow engulfed the world until at last its salvation appeared - in the form of a boy, a girl, and a holy sword.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Fall of Mana
The Mana Series has always intrigued me, Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 2) was excellent, Seiken Densetsu 3 (Japan 'sequel') was even better. After that the series began it's slow and never ending slump.
Children of Mana was the first non-remake in the Mana series in nearly 6 years. The last Mana title, Legend of Mana was a decent game, but it didn't compete against Seiken Densetsu 2 or 3. Eventually, SquareSoft decided to revive the series, but this was the start of their mistakes. ... Read More
Rating:  - Repetitive & Dull
I originally started playing games in the Mana series with the classic SNES game "Secret of Mana", and picked up this game hoping it would be a similar experience.
Unfortunately this game is insanely repetitive, forcing you to return to the same handful of levels over and over again with slightly different enemies and slightly different goals. In addition there is almost no DS functionality at all in this game, and it feels like it was originally meant to be a Game Boy Advance game that ... Read More
Rating: - Easy to like but hard to love
Truth be told, I've never played a single game from the Mana series. Not that I didn't want to or thought it childish but rather store availability was always sketchy and other titles always seemed to be in heavy supply. Finding Children of Mana at the store and despite mixed-but-mostly-negative reviews, I blind bought the game and after awhile I pretty much shared the feeling a lot of people had: what the game could've been sticks in your mind more than what the game is.

Rating: - not what i expected it to be
I like the mana series so I got this to play it, but it wasn't what I expected from a mana game.
Rating: - A little tedious
I enjoyed this game for the first 4-5 hours, though I tended to keep replaying some of the dungeons not knowing where to go next or if they were acceptably complete. The graphics are neat and the cute characters and environments are very appealing.
However the game got pretty tedious as I got to the tougher dungeons. Not only are the dungeons long - many stages of enemies and a boss, but you can't save in the dungeons. Furthermore if you die or complete the dungeon without completing the objective ... Read More
