Half Minute Hero isn’t for everyone but long-suffering RPG addicts will love it; it’s also one of the most original handheld games we’ve played in months...
Initially coming across as a novelty, Half Minute Hero proves itself to be a fantastic little package, covering multiple genres and raising far more smiles than it has any right to. Plus it has some seriously excellent music. Heartily recommended. 8.7/...
