Gamers who have played the latest Paper Mario have discovered a hilarious RPG that's funny but in a family-friendly, let's-make-fun-of-Mario sense. The Bard's Tale is the other end of the spectrum. The content is not too different from that of a PG-13 movie, with innuendo and plenty of adult jokes. The story mocks the genre as a whole, not just one particular group of characters. If you have both GameCube and PlayStation 2, you shouldn't be without either Paper Mario or The Bard's Tale. The game in question now, however, is The Bard's Tale, and when you compare it to other PS2 RPGs you see that there simply is no comparison.
And the second is at VGPub with an overall score of 8/10:
While there is a certain level of frustration to be had with the gameplay, this tale is worth the twenty hour journey. The amount of humor it has and the ability to be nice or mean adds some replay to the game, enough that it holds its own compared to others in the genre. A solid adventure and a fun ride that will probably to be over looked with much more popular releases on the horizon, The Bard's Tale is a trip worth taking.
