After reading through most of the reviews, Ive found that most people rated it 1 star because of the controls, graphics, or they were confused. First of all the controls and graphics are SUPPOSED to be this way as its supposed to replicate older RPGs and I think they are both great and work well. The game also has an incredibly steep learning curve which I think is also turning people off of it. From my experience if you can force yourself through this games few flaws and give it a second try, you WILL be hooked.
