Stub?

[edit]

Is this article really a stub? It has a section on plot and major characters. Saving possibly a section on critical acclaim (or lack thereof) what can be added? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Raveled (talk • contribs) 19:57, 8 February 2006

I'd make it start class if it didn't have that POV tag on it (which I agree with). Nifboy 01:13, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bias

[edit]

This entry does not read like an encyclopedia. Especially the "Aestethics" [sic] section -- "a wonderful soundtrack that will not bore the player" is a subjective remark. Overall, this article needs to be re-written, or at least cleaned up. --Sfida 01:55, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, honestly, sounded more like a bad review than an article. I worked on it a little while not logged in, I hope it's a bit less biased, but it's also quite a bit shorter. I wonder if such an unnecessary section should even be in the article?Super Pixel Advance 05:21, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working on it. I didn't ask anyone's permission to start taking it apart, but hey, this is Wikipedia, so I figured I'd contribute on the fly. If I'm totally off the mark, you can call me on it and revert to an earlier version. I hope you like my changes and find them both informative and sufficiently unbiased. :) Radien 07:24, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Added some release dates (as well as flags for localizations), though without the specific days for EU and NA (various sources have different dates). - philemon, 01 Ferbruary 2007

Purchasing.

[edit]

Where could this game be purchased? I actually still have the CD laying around, but would like to get the original casing again and manual and map if possible as I'd like to add it to a collection. Brilliant game.

If your console takes PAL CDs you can get a copy from www.chilloutgames.co.uk for £15. Brilliant site, I've ordered loads of stuff from there and although it's second hand they never have a single scratch and always have the full manual and stuff. Dragonfly888 13:04, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Expansion

[edit]

I bought Alundra at my local video rental store (6 bucks, w00t) and I guess I'll try to add more to the character, including pictures of each, aswell as expanding the sections :< Super Pixel Advance 02:41, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I rewrote the characters section (something it desperately needed), but it could still stand to be expanded on quite a bit. - Dark T Zeratul 10:16, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Add Disambiguation from Debra Miceli?

[edit]

Professional wrestler Debra Miceli was knwon as Alundra Blayze in World Wreslting Entertainment, then the World Wrestling Federation. Someone looking for her, muight end up here if tyhey could not remember the full stage naem. Would a disambiguation note be acceptable, or even necessary?

The plot

[edit]

WTF< that plot acts more like one of a game we don't know anything abot yet...--Covex 13:29, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Genre clarification

[edit]

Alundra uses a health based progression system similar to the Legend of Zelda series (ie: life vessels are equivalent to heart containers)... as such listing it as an RPG or Action RPG are incorrect. Like Zelda, it's an action-adventure game with some other RPG elements (towns, NPCs, extensive subitems, dungeons, etc) but unlike true action RPGs, it lacks experience based leveling.

This seems to be an issue with classifying many Zelda clones over Wikipedia (Alundra, Shining Wisdom, Crusader of Centy, etc), which like Zelda are not true action RPGs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.229.126.234 (talk) 17:48, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And your source for this definition is?Mr T (Based) (talk) 18:11, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Well, beyond actually playing the game and understanding fully what the Action RPG genre actually entails, here's an article stating the game unequivocally isn't an action RPG and the US publisher (Working Designs) mislabeled it as such, likely for strategic reasons.

Well, beyond actually playing the game and understanding fully what the Action RPG genre actually entails is original research and isn't allowed on Wikipedia, unfortunately. As for RPGfan, I'm not sure they are what Wikipedia terms a reliable source.Mr T (Based) (talk) 15:58, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Review score table

[edit]

I added a table for review scores, so get to adding 'em! Also added a Reception section, but I can't think of much to add right now. Please help expand!! SamuraiFez (talk) 23:41, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've trimmed some, and I'll be adding more later. Harizotoh9 (talk) 11:55, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
