Dark Cloud is my favorite video game of all the ones I own. It's a fascinating plot in which you collect the scattered pieces of villages that the dark genie destroyed and rebuild them. You go through the different floors of each level, collect treasures, kill bad guys, and stop the dark genie. As you go through the game, you get fascinating allies. The characters are sort of like Zelda. This game has average PS2 graphics. This game is so cool. BUY IT !!!

Get this game

This game is one of the best PSX2 games out there at first you may not understand the plot but if tyou watch the beggining movie again you should understand it. GREAT GRAPHICS the graphics are like the graphics from the Final Fantasy Movies (fmv's). The length is pretty long so its not a 5 second game.If you do beat it you can always play again because there is difernt stuff evrytime

Awsome Game

First thing to get out of the way is that Dark Cloud is nothing at all like Zelda. Zelda isn't even an RPG, it's an action-adventure game, Dark Cloud is much more like Diablo or Phantasy Star Online. Dark Cloud is basically a Rogue-Like.

A big rule of Rogue-Likes is randomization and Dark Cloud secures this, random dungeons, random items, random enemies and random rewards. Also in most Rogue-Likes there are really two areas of gameplay, the Town and the Dungeon. The Town is the safe zone where the player will purchase items, obtain quests, manage facilities and so forth. The Dungeon on the other hand is purely combat focussed and the player must delve deeper and further away from the town into ever more difficult areas. The only thing keeping Dark Cloud from being a pure Rogue-Like is that it is played in Real-time and is in 3D but really these things do not omit it from being like a Rogue-Like. It should also be noted that while Dark Cloud lacks permanent death found in most Rogue-likes it does have permanent weapon destruction which is perhaps just as lethal!

Dark Cloud also adds it's own innovations to the sub genre, such as interchangeable characters, a town design system and a Pa-Rappa esque duel mini-game. The game however is not without its faults, for one the graphics are very 'Post N64' era, the initial dungeon has a rather dreary & repetitious tileset and the battle music is rather minimal. However despite these faults the game's quality is far above average and the amount of detail and variety is rather refreshing compared to the army of Final Fantasy Clones.

That really is the deal breaker, if you don't at all like Rogue-Likes or think you don't then you will probably not like Dark Cloud. If however you do like them or games like PSO or Diablo then I think you owe it to yourself to play it.
