CheatCC says, "There's not a lot of RPGs available for the PSP, and Adventures to Go! is not exactly maintaining the classic premise of the genre. It's something new, although not fully realized. It's still in the experimental stages. Most players won't find any bang for their buck with this game. At full price, it's just not a very good deal."
GameZone writes; "The life of a fantasy RPG hero is hard work. Forget having to fight horrific beasts and save the world from megalomaniacal wizards, and just consider the fact that they travel to every single location on their planet – usually on foot, no less. It's a wonder they've even got the energy to save the world, given that they've just hoofed it across three continents! Wouldn't it be simpler if a hero could quest through forests, mountains, caves, and dungeons, all without even having to leave their home town? Adventures to Go! gives us just that: an RPG where every quest is custom built to your specifications."
In the end, AtG is not for most people. With so many solid titles being released around the same time, it may not even be for many people. However, for those looking to break into the genre and the TRPG fans who can't get enough, as well as those looking for a game that isn't the standard "save the world, win the girl" story will likely find a breath of fresh air in store here.
If a player approaches the title not looking for game of the year material but instead seeking something to be played in bite-size portions on the go, then it may be in that person's interest to seek a purchase. It's sad to see a game whose concept has a lot of potential but doesn't follow through with a better presentation.
Adventures to Go has some good ideas, such as generating your quests through building blocks in hopes of satisfying job requirements. But adventuring itself is slow – you walk around and fight some monsters while keeping an eye out for treasures and magical monoliths. The battle scenes offer nothing new either. You spend some AP to move, the monsters move. You spend so AP to attack, the monsters attack. It's too bad that the execution just did not keep up with the concept or the game's lively atmosphere.
