A lot of people say negative things about this game. It was listed in one of the top five worst rpg's of all time. BUT, I say nay-nay! The combat and graphics are not it's strong point, but the writing is where it shines! Great story with a lot of humor. I had some good laugh-out-loud moments! Story is fun and the characters are pretty cool. The pre-rendered backgrounds are nice. To show how much I like this game I bought it again because I felt like playing it again. Plus this is one of the few rpg's I ever finished, and that's saying a lot because I've started a lot and never finished them. So forget the negative reviews and give it a chance!

This American-made game is overlooked for a lot of reasons. The graphics weren't as good as Final Fantasy VII, the gameplay was essentially barebones RPG, and your characters had a bunch of techniques that were never explained. This is a shame, seeing as this is easily one of the funniest games I've ever played. The writing is where this game truly shines...many laugh out loud moments and silly situations helped offset the grim mood of the game. The combat, while laden with a bunch of oddly named spells, was easily on par with Final Fantasy. Timed button pressed would let some characters take a second swing at the enemies, and the summon spells (once you figured out which ones they were) were easily as impressive as those in Final Fantasy. Pick this game up if you like RPGs and could use a good laugh. From Evil mimes to Scythe-wielding robots portending doom, this game will certianly get a few laughs.Read full review
Shadow Madness is a great RPG by Crave (the same people who made jade cocoon) fun game play great storyline and crappy graphics...compared to now. The world is huge there is a lot of items to pick up. The characters are fun and interesting and the combat system is a little different from any rpg's Ive seen but its enjoyable. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who wants to immerse them selves into a new world and put a good 30 or more hours of game play into another game (the side quest will keep you busy).
As a young teen I had trouble reading, but this game had a subtle sense of dark humor that kept me interested. I spent weekend after weekend playing it, but never beat it. Now I'm back for revenge as an adult!
