Everquest minus monthly fees
2 of 2 found this helpful A very solid role-playing fantasy game for fans of single player as well as multiplayer rpgs. A great journey through the world of Norrath for those who don't want to spend money every month to play the other incarnations of Everquest. Definitely for fans of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, both were worked on by Snowblind Studios. The online element is a tad sketchy, as playstation's online servers aren't always perfectly reliable...however, when it does work, it can be quite an engaging experience, one you'll enjoy traveling through many times over. Worth the money, by far.

The best RPG on Nintendo DS!
This game impressed me insanely! Long story short, you play as Neku Sakuraba, a young punk living in the fashionable Japanese district of Shibuya, who wakes up one day to find out that he's been swept up and involved in what's called The Reaper's Game. If he doesn't accomplish the mission that appears on his cell phone each day for seven days, he's "erased." Clearly, this causes quite a strain for Neku, which is further exacerbated by his loner attitude being punched in the gut by his need for a partner, his first of which is an overly spunky type, to counteract the wildly deisigned "Noise" monsters. While this seems like a typical rpg, the modern style, clever quick wit of the dialogue, and expansive level of items, psych pins, food, and clothing to buy, along with the terrific music, beautifully colorful art design and full-of-life characters make this game one not to miss.
Square Enix is famous for role-playing franchises such as Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, and Dragon Quest...but The World Ends with You is a great new property by the company, one that will likely stick with players for a long time!

Something for just about everyone!
1 of 1 found this helpful For anyone who appreciates Japanese mythology, adventure games, rpg style character strengthening, and a terrifically versatile sense of humor, Okami is an amazing addition to just about any gamer's library! Your main character is Amaterasu, a God who takes the form of a white wolf...who amazingly, though a noble God in its own right, manages to demonstrate gestures and mannerisms resembling a common house dog, it's a very cute contrast to how weighty Ammy's responsibilities are. One of the most unique aspects of this game takes the form of a celestial brush, which Ammy uses to perform miracles for the populace. You can use it to repair broken things for people, heal diseased land plants, vanquish evil monsters, and much more. And just when the game seems like it's coming to an end, it's only just beginning!
I think one of the few downfalls this game might have is that there isn't any significant spoken dialogue. The characters do have dialogue on-screen, and sound comes from your speakers when they speak, but it's a strange kind of garbled Japanese that can be a bit grating on the nerves. And as far as I know, there's no way to turn it off.
However, in my opinion, it doesn't hold the game back. If anything, it's like the game's world, despite being called Nippon (basically, another way of saying Japan), has its own language, which makes it more endearing than annoying.
As I said, most gamers will get an immense kick out of this one, don't pass it up if you can get it cheap! :-D
