this game is the darker side of squaare soft that i just love. i have not played parasite eve 2 yet but i am going to purchase it soon and i am hoping they will make a parasite eve 3 for the ps2. anyhow i am tired of critics complaining that this game is short. yes the first time you play it it is but the second go through the tower it is around 90 levels of hell. it is a great maze and took time to navigate through it. it makes a completely different ending that you won't be disapointed in.
Great way to waste 10 hours of your life

This game is definately interesting. The story is very scientific and supernatural. The battle system was cool as well. You must let your parasite energy charge to do special attacks. (Like MP.) The games very short but has a replay mode so you will play it again, giving it 20 hours of gameplay. If you can pick it up cheap, then pick it up.
Cool game

Since Parasite Eve is a PS1 game, most people overlook it and consider itan outdated, boring waste of time. The people who consider playing the game, however, shall find that their choice shall be greatly rewarded! P.S.(Parasite Eve) has an awesome story line, a multitude of weapons and "spells", which are called Parasite Energy, and one of the most unique and strategy-based batlle systems I have ever seen! DO NOT OVERLOOK THIS GAME UNTIL YOU TRY IT! TRUST ME IT WILL BE WORTH IT!

The music in this game is the best I've heard, for -any- video game. Judith Siirila's voice is absolutely amazing, and the storyline is great too. It's got a weird feel to it, but I really enjoyed it.
A FANTASTIC HORROR-RPG! 9.5 OUT OF 10

Have you ever wondered what would happen if Resident Evil and Final Fantasy had a baby? If so, the answer is Parasite Eve. The story is about an NYPD cop named Aya Brea, whose life gets turned upside down during a visit to a theater. She goes to see an opera with her boyfriend, and all seems to be going well, the singer; Melissa; has a beautiful voice and everything is running perfectly until people start to self-combust (catch fire by themselves). Only Aya miraculously survives and Eve has mysteriously disappeared, so you must go find her, and as a dutiful police officer, arrest her. Then wierd things start happening in the dressing room area. A rat suddenly appears, and then it begins squealing uncontrollably as it begins to mutate into a grotesque abomination (Remember the scene in The Thing when the dog changed into the alien? Yeah, it was that disgusting.) Then it turns out Melissa is a horrible monster called Eve, who can spawn creatures called Neo-Mitochondria. As the game explains it, this particular parasite makes the mitochondria in the cells gain more energy than the cell itself causing the body to get really hot and make it catch on fire by itself or turn into a gel substance. There is a more detailed explanation in the game, but I gave you the shorter version. Then you begin to have strange visions from your past that you'd long forgotten for good reasons. This is only the beginning of the game, you face even more dangerous and freakier creatures later. This game is ultimately a quest to destroy Eve, save the world, wipe out the Neo-Mitochondria creatures, and discover the secrets of your past. This game has incredible CG-animated cutscenes that are very impressive, even to this day. The in-game graphics of the environments are incredible as well, but the character models look ugly in real-time. The gameplay is a mix of turn-based and real-time combat, what I mean is, on this game you wait your turn to attack but you can move around. Unfortunately, this can also hamper the experience in some ways because the enemies move around too, and sometimes the space you're enclosed in is too small for you to really avoid being hit. Luckily, this rarely dampers the experience because this game is absolutely incredible with its creepy Resident Evil-style creatures and atmosphere, phenomenal CG-animation, cool gameplay, storyline, cool bosses, and challenging gameplay. If you like RPGs and you like Resident Evil this game is a must-have because it's so awesome. I love this game, and there's no reason any RPG fan should hate it.

I loved Parasite Eve 2 so much I bought the original off Amazon. I am in Australia so unfortunately the games format is NTSC and Australia is PAL - so it views black and white on my Playstation, but the game is still great. (I did buy it knowing NTSC might not work on my playstation but it was worth the risk I felt - I just wanted to play it so much!). I think the Parasite Eve games are just great. So full of action and hard but not so hard that you give up and never play them again. These ones you go back for the challenge and finally conquer! There are the split endings too which makes you want to get the perfect ending. Enjoy.

This a pretty good rpg for the ps1 which has a very in depth story line and has a nice fighting system. Overall I give this game five stars
It was good in 1998, it's still good 10 years later.

I loved this game back when it came out. Very unique RPG and Aya Brea is the hottest RPG character ever. The setting was awesome (New York coool!) and the story was good too. It's science-fiction but it's not too intelectual (sp?) I bought this game because I lost it a long time ago and yes, this game still rocks. Way better than the 2nd one which is a Resident Evil rip-off.
