Good anime scenes, but lacks alot in game play

When I saw this game I thought maybe this will be a good RPG like the Sega CD game "Lunar" which is still my all time favorites that I have played. I quickly bought this game and loaded it up and instantly I got into a anime story. After what seemed like an eternity, I finally got to a battle scene and was greatly disappointed. No experience points/magic points are used so there really is no character to build up like in real RPG's. This is not a real role playing game but more of an action game with a anime story. Don't waist your time and money with this one, wait for something better.

A bad review

Normally i hate writing these but if it saves your money...... This game is a decent RPG, when you actually get to play, this game has way to many movies hardly moving the story along. Main thing I hated was the movies.. they are just filled with whining, and you get them every 3 minutes max!(unless you work slowly) The battle style is not "stupid" its just like Super Nintendo's RPG battle style (Zelda, Chrono, ect..) Well if you likes RPGs with alot of Cut scenes (with alot of b**ching WHICH REALLY GETS ANOYING!!) and Snes's RPG battle style than go ahead and get this other wise dont waste your time and money.

It's not just my opinion.. but it doesnt mean its yours =)

Why is this game still [so much]?

Where to start...From a very whiney girl's voice to slow responding battle controls, this game isn't even worth one star. I'm not even wasting my time to write a big long review. The only part that would possible rate it one star is the anime scenes. But hey, PS2 plays DVD's too. Yuck is the only word to describe this game. Please take advice and don't waste your money.

This game by far the worst rpg on PS2!!

I bought this game a few weeks ago and i played it right away.At first it looks cool but it started to repeat itself.The graphics are good as to be expectied of a PS2 game but the gameplay is horrible.The battles are incridibly easy and simple, the story is weak and booreing,and you never leave this island.I stoped playing it after the 3rd time i put about 4 or 5 hours into it and found it to be horribly stupid.Its kinda like a zelda inspired game but it hardly even should be spoken in the same sentence.You should probablly just forget about this game and buy Shadow Hearts which is probablly one of the best rpg's for this console.

Kinda Off-Balance.... But pretty well done.

Ok, for starters, I have to say that I gave up on this game just as I got out of the first building on that strange island. Why? Because when you come out, you arrive in a different time, and It's all icy, right? Well, I got lost (turned around, whatever), and kept running into these icy things, losing hit points, and died. So....after that, you can guess what my opinion of the walking screen was. >.< Ouch! Otherwise, this game is really good. The graphics are a bit sketchy, but the cinimatics are DEFINATLY worth it! THe battle system is compleatly unique, and totally fun! I suppose I really would reccomend this game. Toodles! ^_^

Great game needs a little work with the battle scenes but overall a good buy. A good starter for RPG on the playstation 2

Game? This is more like a comic book!

This game is what's wrong with so called RPG's today, or any game as a matter of fact. In an RPG i thought that it was Role Playing, not some kind of comic book. You just don't play most of this game, you just watch. The battle system is just plain stupid, who just stand there and the enemy's come toward's you. The save points are at the most random spot's of the game and the cut scenes are just horrible, the voice acting to the dubing. And they are BORING, if you die you have to watch them all over again, and you can't skip them. Don't buy this game, watch the anime, it is basicly the same thing!
