"i hate to be the one to to break it to you, but zelda is not a RPG. its an adenture game down to the heart. plenty of adventure titles out there" - mm

Wrong there, monkey man. Zelda is about as far from being an Adventure game as it is from being an RPG. Secret of Monkey Island is an Adventure, Martian Memorandum is an adventure, hell even Resident Evil is an adventure game at heart. Zelda is more of an action/platformer. Most people just label it as an RPG since it\'s set in a fantasy world and you gain power-ups as you progress through the story. However the stats building/character building and puzzle solving elements inherant to RPG\'s and Adventures are pretty much non-existant in Zelda.

I\'ve purchased Summoner but I haven\'t opened it.  I can\'t decide if I should return it or not.  I loved the original Zelda, on NES.  Are there any RPGs out now that are similar?  They all seem to be too tied up in the interviewing process and not enough fighting.  Surely I\'m not the only Zelda fan!

Did you play Square\'s Vagrant Story on the PSX, if you did and liked it you\'ll  love the Summoner

Do you love a great story ??? Then you\'ll love the Summoner

Can you stomach some code imperfections ?? There are a few glitches in the game, but overall I enjoyed it. Although obviously its not for everyone, it was considered the best RPG for PS2 launch and to date.
