This is one of the most under-appreciated Xbox games that I can think of. Of course, the lack of t.v. advertisements didn't help its sales but it is definitely a great game that I wish more people got a chance to enjoy.
Is it all that it can be?

I'm an avid gamer and rpg's are my focus. After picking up the Xbox, my next goal was to aquire a rpg worthy of attention and detail... along comes Crimson Sea. At first glance, the artwork is wonderful, the levels are beautiful, and the characters actually have character. The hardest part of the experience was adjusting to the first person shooter feel. There are enough baddies to keep both you and the Orkin man quite busy. The game play is quite linear, and once a quest is completed, you can't go back to the area. You do have the option of selecting which quest to complete, but there are no side quests or freedom of movement within the game. There are a few annoying quests that deal with a timer, invisible critters, and a pushy IGA guard chasing you around... it gets old quick.
Over all, this game was fun to play, however it was quick to finish and is definitely a rental. I do look forward to more titles by KOEI and this gives me hope for future rpgs for the xbox
THIS IS GUN VALKYRIE DONE RIGHT!

This game has it all. Non-stop action, great graphics, a good soundtrack (I love the main theme), cinematic story segments, a wide selection of cool guns/blades to buy and a great cast of characters. This is definitely one of the better Only on Xbox titles. My only problem is the controls could have been a little more tight and the camera can get a little annoying sometimes (Most games have some camera issues). Otherwise there's no reason not to play this game.
Very good game

This is an absoulutley great game. you have more weapons than in Halo so no one can complain about that. heres the lay down. It is discovered that the world was created by sound. you are sho. you are one of the only people in the universe (you and like 4 achemologists that cant attck with it
) the galaxy is being invaded by SUPER bugs that destroy sound and life. so you get a team at a space station, get a big gun, and start shooting basically anything that moves on a mission (there are about 5000 bugs per mission after the first 2). Now im not saying this is the best game ever (halo/ halo2 anyone) but it is a good game that you should atleast rent or then you are missing out. thats all from shadowy-killer for now.
Woo Baby!

Beyond the wonderful architecture, great voice acting, great graphics and controls, theres the wonderful and way cute Sho! I love this game more than anything in the world, and sit down in my basement calling it "my precious". Anyway! A great game! And that's ALOT when coming from a girl gamer!
Fun Game!

I would definitely rent this game next time you have a chance. A lot of people don't seem to be able to get into it, but I definitely had fun. The graphics are great! And the cut scenes in between levels are HILARIOUS! (Not on purpose, just translated from Japanese I imagine...) Admittedly I had to get used to the controls but really, isn't that the case for all games? The monsters are varied and imaginative. Taking care of up to a 5 person squad was fun too. I wish it had 2 player mode as well... It kind of reminded me of Gun Valkerie, but I didn't like that game....

The game is really fun but you don't get to choose through that many weapon which is one of the down sides to this game another downside is the game is to short it only took me two days to be it.The game has some awesome graphics and stunnig backgrounds but if you are a kid I would recommend a different game because the game can be very difficult at times. At the end of every level you get money to but new gun and items but again there isn't that many guns but the guns do go up level to become stronger and the guns are really a pain because some a short range and long range. Soon as you buy a gun you will not be able to get your money back. So if you don't like games that are to short don't buy it or if you like games with stunnig graphics well then buy it but don't get mad when you beat it in a short time.
Futuristic DW3 With Great Graphics

There isn't much more than I can add to other reviewers. If you liked Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Dead To Rights, Buffy, Max Payne, Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, Baldur's Gate, Dynasty Warriors 3, or like Japanese games, definitely at least give this game a rent. Controls do get in the way a little, but not enough to make the game bad. I can't be overstated how fluid battling hundreds of thousands of enemies at once feels.On the personal note. This was off the hook for me, and exceeded my high expectations. However, I don't feel everyone will have the same impressions. If you were interested initially, you probably won't go wrong picking up this game.
