  • Abstract:  The graphics in this game have a very Japanese anime style to them. This is highly apparent when you compare Dorothy’s outfit in the game to that of the classic movie. The game is that of an above the knee lacy blue dress with a giant red bow on the fr...

  • Pleasant presentation, A few touching, storybook moments, Lovely soundtrack.
  • Too much backtracking, Oversimplified battle system, Easy puzzles, Limited exploration.

  • The Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road is a wonderfully creative take on the classic story that executes itself with ample amounts of charm and playability. The RPG elements might be a lighter than more seasoned players expect, and the touch s...

  • Abstract:  The Wizard of Oz name probably brings to mind memories of the Lollipop guild and catchy tunes from somewhere over the rainbow. XSEED's role-playing game on DS uses the fondly remembered franchise's moniker, but it seems to have taken the mantra "follow...

  • I would recommend this game to experienced RPG fans who want something light to play on the side but anyone expecting a worthwhile journey through Dorothy’s adventures will walk away disappointed. ...
