GamersInfo writes: "As such, Mana Khemia: Student Alliance is not an easy game to recommend, especially to RPG fans. Part of the problem is all of the complaints that have been voiced. The other part of the problem is the price; this game costs $35 while the original PS2 version now costs $20. So essentially you are paying more money for a weaker gaming experience. With this in mind, if you want to play this game and you have access to a PS2, go buy or rent the PS2 version. Sure, it has its own quirks, but it is a much more enjoyable game overall - especially if you are new to the RPG genre. If you do not own a PS2, then go rent this game. See if you can tolerate its quirks better than I. But sadly, you are not missing much if you decide to pass on Mana Khemia: Student Alliance. In all honesty, I hope this is not some sort of omen of things to come regardless of the system a game is released on".
