It took awhile but finally completed the game. Although Contact doesnt really require you to spend 40 to 50 hours to complete it. You can probably should do more than just run through the game. Otherwise you are liable to miss out on some cool sidequests and other items that you would miss. You are controlling Terry or whatever you name him as he has washed up on a beach on deserted island. The professor and his pet make contact with him waking him up after he's collapsed.

He gives you this way of contacting and coming back to the ship, you will also be able to heal yourself with other decals that he comes across and gives to you.

You will also be able to collect different decals mostly from monster drops and attach them thereby gaining a bonus in whatever the decal says. You can equip up to four of them at once.

Your goal is basic at first and that is to collect this cell's that the Professor needs to power the ship. It is innocent enough for awhile but he's not being totally honest which you'll find out later in the game. You have many skills Vocational (Fishing, Lockpicking/Thief, Cooking) and proficiencies in the many different weapons that you'll collect Types (Slashing, Striking and Punching). Using the different weapons will up your skill in those areas. He is also able to cast different types of magic (Earth/Water/Fire/Wind) and their secondary skills in each of those areas as well.

You will also build up Terry's stats:
Strength (up it by attacking)
Defense (getting hit helps here)
Dexterity (hitting fast enemies ups this)
Agility
Wisdom (using different magic boosts this)
Stamina (again taking damage ups this)
Speed (spend some time running around to boost this)

Also Personality stats:
Fame (defeating enemies)
Courage (defeating stronger enemies than him)
Karma (self explanatory)

It seems like a lot but once you start playing the game things will flow along pretty quickly. Main goal is collecting the cells but you run across others trying to do the same as you. You'll cross paths and battle from time to time and as you collect the cells you are able to venture out further and further to other islands and what not. Very enjoyable, pretty straight forward as long as you build up your character along the way you should have no problem beating whatever the game throws at you.

So give Contact a try and play it through straight forward or take the path less travelled and take your time through it. Either way its a journey that's worth taking and a well done game in its own right...thanks Atlus!!

Contact, fun action RPG UNIQUE!

This game was very interesting it played like a computer game, has a great story line with plenty of wacky, kookiness from the professor, and has descent graphics too. The view is from above and the attack system unique but easily handled. It's RPG play leaves lots of options for customizing weapons and armor. So many little tidbits and places to explore. I recomment this to action/ adventure fans.
