"Remember back in the early '80s when you were scribbling out a map in your notepad as you crawled your way through Wizardry? No? Well, not to worry, because Atlus' newest turn-based role-playing game captures that experience pretty well. Etrian Odyssey gives many nods to its text-based adventure roots, not the least of which is its prodding, omniscient narrator and the necessity to (gasp) create your own map. Like its predecessors, Etrian Odyssey is beguilingly immersive and excessively addictive, but even if it doesn't take the turn-based RPG formula anywhere new, you'll still probably fall prey to its charm."
