The Illusion of Gaia is my favorite RPG. It has breath-taking 16-bit graphics that satisfy me even though I don't give about graphics. You are a young boy named Will who has lost his father on an exploration journey at the Tower of Babel. He lives with his grandma Lola and grandpa Bill on South Cape where Will managed to escape to after his tragedy. You have certain psychic powers that your friends call a Sixth Sense. You soon set off to find your father as you hear him in a ghostly sound...
The only flaw in this game is its gameplay that once in a while gets a tad on the cluncky side. Like the Legend of Zelda, you fight your enemies on the regular gamescreen rather than a sub-screen. This gives you the advantage of being able to use an enemy to take out another enemy.It also gives you a more interactive way of play since it is not turn-based.The coolest part is Gaia, a strange spirit who lives in a place called Dark Space and allows you to save your progress when entering the portal.This is an over all awsome game and is a definite game to pick up used. Check it out!

Play it again and again

Memories relived by all in my family! My five yr old enjoys it as well. It arrived quickly and in great condition. Takes us back it time every time we turn it on.

Soul Blazer II: A Game for the Ages

First, let me explain my title and give some information, since most people don't seem to know this. This game is part II in a trilogy, the first part being Soul Blazer, the third being Terranigma. This game was released in Japan as Soul Blazer II.

When you first begin, you are a boy named Will in a small town called South Cape. You have a special flute, which belonged to your father, and telekinetic powers which you channel through the flute. After some talking to villagers and playing with friends, you head out on an adventure to find your father, who died on an adventure a while back. You were with him, and your memory of how you got back to your grandparents in Cape Town is gone.

I won't spoil the story, but let it suffice to say that the gameplay is wonderful; the levels are all novel and well thought-out, the monsters in each dungeon are a new and exciting challenge, and character control is fluid and non-repetitive as you change your ability set (not spoiling any more than that) often enough that it never gets boring. If you enjoyed Link to the Past, you're almost certain to enjoy Gaia. If you liked Soul Blazer, well, you probably bought Gaia the moment you heard it was a sequel, and you're just reading this for amusement, but you'll love it, too.

Buy Illusion of Gaia. Even at brand new collector's price, it's worth every penny.
