Parasite Eve may not be as long as some die hard RPG fans may wish it be, but it is a good title. I felt that it was such a good game, but it's less than epic finishing time can leave you wanting more. The graphics were exceptionally good, but the FMV's were astounding. Although the FMV's were often very gruesome, I felt the blood and gore was often very realistic. The only other two complaints I have are that the battle field during battles was often limiting. I often found myself getting trapped in a corner by the enemy. The other thing is that I felt that voice would have added alot to the game.

This game is SWEET.

Parasite Eve is awesome! It takes place in the Big Apple and revolves around Aya Brea, a cop, and starts in Carnagie Hall. The game has a good solid story line, the only problem is that it might be confusing for some people. The cinema is the best that I have ever seen in a game. I feel it beats Final Fantasy 7's cinema, but you might disagree with me. The PRG elements are easy to understand, which makes this game a good game for beginning role players, the elements are also very unique, allowing you to customize Aya and her equipment, which is very sweet. Some problems I felt the game had were that it was too short. I bought it on a Friday and had it beat 10 hours later. The monsters were cool but fighting the same thing over and over sucks. Well I don't want to spoil the game anymore, so go out and buy the game.

Very Fun Game

Parasite Eve is kind of a cross between A role playing game and Resident Evil. The graphics are good, and overall it is a fun game to play. My first couple of plays on this have kept me glued to the screen for 3 hours at a time. My only problem with this game is the same I have with any RPG, once you beat it, you will be ready to trade it in for something else. Otherwise, its a great game...fun to play. ........its worth it!

A great game...for the most part.

This is one of my very favorite games. I rented it many times before I actually bought it, becuase i figured i missed so much the first few times i wanted it to own for myself. so my review...;) it's a role playing game, on the same idea as final fantasy, but the battle system is different. it takes a little while to get used to the menus and learning how to combine weapons was a little tricky for me. there are some really graphic parts, like mutating mice, that are a little sick! course it adds to the story, and makes it interesting. a good gamer can beat this game in less than a week, but luckily the game has an EX mode that is harder and has a new area, and it's tougher so the game doesnt lose its edge. if it wasnt so short and the main character could run a little faster (that's SO exasperating!) then it would have gotten five stars.

It's...decent...

Well, for a ground-breaking "cinematic RPG" which supposedly defies the bounds of all previous RPG genres, I found Parasite Eve to be lacking.

Good stuff: -The plotline is enticing enough to keep me moving throughout the game, hoping for some kind of conclusion. -The FMV is all very nicely done, given the date of creation. -Battle system IS actually very different from most other RPGs out there, especially ones made by Square. -The weapons & armor system (assemble/disassemble with tools, supertools, etc) is fun to toy with and very easy to learn.

Bad stuff: -There is no conclusion to the plotline. -The game is far too easy. I clocked myself at beating it in 7 hours, 9 minutes (not straight game time, broken up over a week). I never experienced a challenging section. -Very little strategy involved in fighting: just point, shoot, kill, heal when needed. I expected more from a 3d environment game with different ranges of weaponry, etc.

Get the game if you're a Square fan, or if you enjoy RPGs in general. But if you're looking for a good action/RPG combo, get something along the lines of Vagrant Story, or even Zelda 64.

I'll make this one short and simple

Gameplay= boring as hell...

graphics= amazing

story= what rpg's are all about

I found this game a little to short compared to other rpg (15+ hours). the battle system and gameplay was not to fun either.

But in the areas this game lacks, it more then makes up for in the story department.

Simply amazing

Outstanding action. A fascinating story. More than enough challenges-within-a-challenge to keep the most dedicated player searching for bonuses in the PE world until the very end. What more can I say? If you can put up with the camera angles, you need to play this game. You won't regret your time spent.

Could Be Alot Better!

I was expecting alot better when I bought this game. There are a few reasons for this, first of all Aya walks WAY to slow, it takes an hour to get to where you wanna go, so I usaully skip getting the item, which affects the gameplay. Also, some of the FMV are disgusting, a rat coming out off his skin, to a horse setting on fire to a crowd of people melting. I did like the battle system though, in it you run around the enemy and when the meter fills you get to shoot it. This game is fun but appeals to more of a survivel horror crowd.

AWSOME

This game is worth the purchase. The Graphics are amazing and the stoyline is one of the best I have seen. This game is very well thought out. If you like exciting games with a twist then you will love this one.

One of Squaresoft's best!!

When I bought PE, by reccomendation of a friend, I must tell you, I didn't think I'd like it. I sat down and put it in and turned it on. The opening movie was awesome! When I got to playing it I decided it was an "ok" game, when I got farther I realized I loved this game, I was up at 2 or 3 in the morning playing it. The controllers were not confusing, and Aya is a smary and beautiful woman on a mission.

She has the help of her partner Daniel and a Japanese scientist, Maeda. I think that if you like the Final Fantasy series then you would love PE, I reccomend you go by this game and play it if you haven't already.
