Everyone was expecting Secret of Mana in 3D or something, and unfortunately this game is not that. However, I've been playing and enjoying this game for what it is without trying to hold it up to some standard that it is not.Perhaps it would have been better to release this game calling it something other than "Seiken Densetsu 4", and then the review scores might have improved. I can't deny that I'd love a more "traditional" Mana game in 3D with such beautiful graphics as these, though.Then again, I liked Children of Mana (I have someone to play multiplayer with, so maybe that helps), and I'm looking forward to Heroes of Mana. But I do think that what the "World of Mana" needs is another blockbuster title to go along with all the other side games.

I couldn't care less for this Mana.
