  1. GameBump

    8.2/10
    10 December 2005

    Radiata Stories is certainly a great, entertaining RPG for the PlayStation 2 , even if it’s more comedic and light-hearted than the Star Ocean saga or other Square franchises. Read more

    • Radiata Stories is a cozy RPG with a plethora of characters, interaction scenarios, quests, side-quests, and lots of light, cinematic humor. The bulk of the gameplay is spent running around, either in Radiata or in the sur...
    • After spending about 30 hours in, however, I can’t say that the entire game approaches the quality of Star Ocean. The battle targeting system could have been strengthened by allowing players to cycle through targets manual...

    20 September 2005

    I have a very strange relationship with Tri-Ace. I'm not a fan, but I can't say I hate them either. Valkyrie Profile is one of my favorite games, yet the Star Ocean series are some of my least liked. Read more

    • + Excellent graphics and style
    • - Bad gameplay and plot

    In 1995 Tri-Ace was established and since then has created many big hit RPGs. Read more

    8.5/10
    10 February 2006

    An upbeat, engaging game with more personality than a room full of monkeys with genetically-enhanced personalities. Read more

    • Truly likeable cast, amusing and engaging storyline, fun and easy combat, lots of stuff to do.
    • Could have used a few more save points, long, un-skippable cut scenes, wonky lock-on during combat.

    8.0/10
    14 December 2005

    Radiata Stories is a game you should get your hands on. Its simplistic storyline is a nice little break from the more serious, complex plots that companies pump out nowadays, such as Xenosaga and the like. Read more

    I like to poke around in all the nooks and crannies of a videogame—to wander aimlessly until I find a secret passage or a hidden boss. I love games that I can keep playing even after I finish them, and games with no ending... Read more

    Konami's Suikoden series gained instant fame with its unique character recruiting system, allowing you to have up to 108 (plus four secret) allies join your side throughout the game. Read more

    Radiata Stories review Game Over Online - http://www.game-over.com I found Radiata Stories incredibly frustrating. Not frustrating in that "Wow, what an extraordinarily crap game" way, either. Read more

  10. Game Over Online

    6.9/10
    24 September 2005

    That's a shame, because Radiata Stories is easily one of the more interesting RPGs I've played in recent memory. Jack Russell, your main character (and also the only character you can actively control), is interesting. Read more

    Reviewer: TheFunkenstein, Amazon
    4 December 2011

    This is the only RPG I've disliked and haven't finished. I didn't care about the characters or the story to keep going. However, the graphics are pretty solid. If I could give this game zero stars, I would. Read more

    You are Jack. You are just a lowly knight. But wait..you guessed it, you're going to save the world. Read more

    Radiata Stories is one of the most over-looked games in Square Enix's library, yet in my personal opinion, it is the best one they have ever made. Read more
