Diehard GameFAN: Magician’s Quest Review

Although Magician’s Quest Mysterious Times doesn’t do anything wrong, it doesn’t do anything right either. The vast majority of the game is a direct planarization of Animal Crossing and the little content added to the game to separate the two is neither very fun or well done. At best the game gives you a sense of deja vu mixed with amusement over the mash-up with a Harry Potter type setting. At worst you find yourself exceptionally bored due to the game’s constant shameless ripping off of Nintendo’s town simulation franchise.

Only if you really love Animal Crossing should you even consider picking up this game. In that case, and ONLY in that case, will you find a game guaranteed to delight you. Everyone else will just be counting the moments until they can trade this turkey in or sell it on Ebay.
