Topic: Magical Starsign

It was one of the most boring RPGs I played, Bar none. I was so disappointed, it seemed like it could've been good fun, but the elongated pacing, lame dialogue, standard story, and sub-standard gameplay ruined it for me.

Playing its not bad so far, the beginning stages of the game is a bit slow, some of the sound can be a bit weak but it is a bit humorous.

It was ok. Pretty generic for an RPG but I also liked the style of the game.

I can remember when I saw the game at Target bundled with Deal or No Deal as one of those 2-random-games-for-the-price-of-1 packs they had.
Was the game really that bad?

I similarly passed up Nights Wii when Best Buy wanted to clear it out bundled with Barbie and one other little girl game, Strawberry Shortcake maybe?

This. I wouldn't call the story standard as much as weak and anti-climatic. I think the look of the game (from what I remember), a couple of songs, and the one robot character were pretty much the only parts of the game that were any good.

I got Contact around the same time, and despite nearly half of the game being awful grinding, it was still better than Magical Starsign simply because there was a real sense of ambition and interest and ideas and real potential etc.

It has trophies in SSB Brawl.

Yes, I cleared it. I think it was good, basic plot, fugly characters but gameplay was enjoyable and there was some humor in there ("uponizbak").

I'd recommend it, it lasts around 35 hours and feels like an old school rpg.

Far to grindy for me, mainly because the combat is so limited. There are some nice ideas, but they need to be refined.
