King's Field: The Ancient City - PS2

GREAT FIRST PERSON RPG

I played the first 2 King's Field games and I love them as well. This one is so much better with PS2 graphics and sound. Story is slow to develop but if your willing to stick with it the game picks up and gets much better as you level up. Control is actually pretty good and easy to master and well as the battle sequences. Enemis look good and have a decent A.I. so its not a hack-n-slash game. Puzzles keep you thinking and caves have you looking for items. I also like the fact that enemies reappear so leveling up is easy if your willing to fight the same type of monster for a while. Story is actually pretty good too, only this is there are no voices. Also this game is extremely hard to find so make the most of it when you get it.

SLOW JOURNEY

Try to find this game, I dare ya. Once you find it make it worth your while. The game starts off slow and you really have no abilities. You need to stick with it, level up and get some good weapons. In the mean time use the run button and learn the enemy movements. The game grows on you if you have the patience. The game looks okay but the story takes a while to develop. Your character doesn't exactly turn on a dime but he moves pretty well. One thing I don't like is the enemy will respawn. It's tough when you clear out a cave but it doesn't stay that way. It's a great journey if you're willing to take it.

If your truely an RPG Gamer, this is the best for PS2

Yep, after watching FFX, blowing through Baulders Gate in two days.. I was begining to worry. I buy a platform for it's RPGs. Summonor was the first, and it put me to bed. Folks this is the one. This game actually has gotten me to shut the lights off and sit in the dark, surround sound kicking. The colours are rich, dark, and deep. The game is by far harder then most I have played. Honestly, I bought this game on a whim... for the box of all reasons. The reason was one phrase "NON-LINER". And that it delievers.. your totally lost when you start, but that is a GREAT thing. I'm experiencing this world as the character would, for the first time. The draw backs. If your not mature enough to play this one stay away. Actually, I noticed how mature of an RPGer I was when I played this. The music is OK, but I kept realizing I knew where it had come for. Folks, hold on.... they have music from Sega Master Systems Govallious in here... thats BAD! A system of this caliber shouldn't have 8 bit music. Next knock, turning speed.. Get over it though. It's worth it in the end.
