Radiata Stories - PS2

One of the best sleeper hits.

I was a bit puzzled at why I frist dicided to rent this game. I thought it was a error on my part. How wrong I was. This game was one of the greatest Rpgs ive play in a while. You play as Jack (son of the great carin, Dragon slayer)in this epic adventure. Its the day youve been waiting for, time for you to become a knight just like your father. Youve been tuaght by your sister in sword play, but was it enough. Wondering this you step in the castle... This is but a taste of things in Radiata Stiores. What makes this game stand out, you ask? The sheer amount of gameplay. With over 170 people to recruit, a good story, and custom moves, it was hard for me to flaws in this game. I did how ever manage to find a couple things that could have been better. Such as the linar paths you must follow or the long cutsences you must sit though. All in all, when you come down to it. This is one awesome game. I highly recomend this game for rpg lovers everwhere.

this game is awsome

this game is cool.In the game you play as a character named jack.He has dreams about being the best warrior ever but ends up screwing up most of the time.he is a funny character.Other than that the battle system is okay it could be better.The 150 characters that you have to get are pretty hard and so are the missions which makes the game challenging.In the game you can pick to be on either the human side or the monster side.Either is good but on each side each tow of the main characters die.if you pick the human side ridley will die she is sort of a love and hate relationship with jack.If you pick the human side st ganz of the rose grichon brigade will die. he is sort of a father to jack but is not his real father.other than that each side has a diffrent swing to it!Overall this game was pretty awsome playing but i have not beaten it yet but when i do i will update this review!

I like to kick!

just because his dad was famous, doesn't mean he gets to be famous! In Radiata Stories for the PS2, you play as Jack, a small kid with sick fantasies of what his life will be like if he was famous. In the game you'll be able to recruit over 150 characters in your army of.. well, characters. But there is one small problem with the game, you can't explore... I know Square Enix is an amazing company for RPGs but its like they tease you. ALl you can do is whine while staring at the vast jungles and open areas that you can't even walk on. but aside from the non exploring, the battle system is ok, it includes and innovative Link System, that lets you coordinate your brethren abd unleach devastating team attacks in fast-paced, real time action! Yeah, its a good game, until you find another good RPG you can gawk at. I give Radiata Stories for the PS2 a 4... out of 5

Dog jokes aside, not a bad game

Radiata Stories, in my opinion borrows a lot from the Suikoden series. Case in point, the large number of characters for recruiting and certain boss fights that are either almost or completely unwinnable. A total of 177 party members can be brought into your cause to, what most RPG supreme goals are, to save the world. The variety of characters, story progression based on a certain decision, including two seperate endings based on that decision, and continuing after the final boss are some game concepts seen not too often in an RPG, if ever. Also of interest is a in-game clock that shows what time of day it is. This becomes important mostly for party recruiting and certain quests. Some can only be done at night or during the day. The battle system is in real-time and has a bit of a squad based flavor, due to the ability to learn commands to better lead your party during a fight. Problems occur when using the lock-on function, especilly when you can't swirch targets manually. Other than some diversions including party recruiting usually entailing small side quests that can take days (in the game), the story is pretty linear and a player can easily follow it to the end. Graphics and sound are typical for a RPG that but still works well for this type of game. The control scheme can get a little getting used to, though. For some reason you must use two different buttons to interct with someone or something. For beginners, it cn take getting used to, but eventually becomes second nature. Other than that, the controls are responsive, have a norml layout, and work well enough to get you through the game. Unfortunately, there is no option to change them to a pattern of your liking. If your like most RPG gamers eagerly waiting for Final Fantasy XII to be released, this may serve as a good diversion to starve off the wait. Also a solid RPG to add to your collection.
