Don't get me wrong; it's a great game, with gameplay reminiscent of Zelda reminiscent isn't a strong enough word..., a pretty good soundtrack, and relatively original plot details (always amusing to play a straightforward RPG where half of the villagers die). But you need a high frustration threshhold. |

Also as mentioned on the XenoGears node, Alundra contains the Jump From Hell. Basically, it involves quickly (but not too quickly; wouldn't want them to both go off at once) and precisely (can't have them setting each other off) throwing two bombs down onto the floor near a switch, jumping across a couple of gaps and grabbing a torch, and then jumping back. Naturally, if too much time is taken doing any of these things, the bombs go off and make it impossible. |
