For those of you who have never played Fatal Labyrinth, Chocobo's Dungeon, or even Azure Dreams, the game works like this, it's a semi-overhead view of a field and everyone in it gets their turn when you take yours. So, if you don't move or attack, chances are no one else does either, unless you are sleeping or have some other status ailment. You have to actually get close to your enemy to attack unless you have arrows or magic. You level up as in any traditional RPG but the levels do not carry over each time you enter a dungeon. This may make it sound difficult, but each of the entry floors are rather easy and get more difficult as you progress throughout that dungeon. In later dungeons after the practice ones, there are invisible traps laid out on the floor that you can find by waving your weapon over them, or by means of a certain scroll. There are stores within the dungeon randomly placed wherein a Gargoyle guard watches over. There are several ways to steal from the store, however, which the game even goes over if you speak to the right person in town. Also, if you die in a dungeon before you complete it or find alternate means of leaving (having a priest teleport you, outside scroll, etc.) you lose all items and gold you had on you in the dungeon. Finally, As time passes you gain regain lost hp, but if you spend too much time on one floor (2,000 turns) a gale force blows you out as if you had died. All in all, a typical turn based random/mysterious dungeon game, but a good one in my opinion. If you liked Chocobo's Dungeon 2, you will probably like this game. Also, it's nice to fight some of Akira Toriyama's Dragon Warrior monsters, though they appear pre-rendered 2-d. The level-up music is nostalgic to me, also.

Editorial Review For starters, Chocobo's Dungeon 2 lets two players partner ingameplay as they search several randomly generated dungeons that arefull of traps, strange devices, and monsters, making the difficultyincrease as the game progresses. Players can combine armor or weapons to form stronger resources in theirquest. There are also magic feathers that can aid in your efforts, sincethey allow gamers to perform magic spells that have an impact on combat.Between your dungeon travels, players are able to explore villages toobtain valuable clues for the journey. In addition, players can use thistime to update Chocobo's inventory. Overall, Chocobo's Dungeon 2 is a great game for players lookingto get a start in role-playing games. This title is a safe entry pointto this often-complex game genre. --Robb Guido Pros: Features Reviews (9)
Many of the monsters and characters will be familiar to fans of the Final Fantasy series, with some in-jokes built in.For example, the Tonberry, who fights with a Chef's Knife in FF-VIII, is running a restaurant in this game, and has a drunken Malboro (FF monster) for a customer! You will also find Cid the eccentric inventor, the Black Mages, and Mog the Moogle, among others. Chocobo himself, of course, is one of those chicken-like birds that the FF characters ride.That's why, in this game, his defensive armor is a saddle.Chocobo can also be equipped with various collars and claws. Different types of saddles and claws are put into special ovens to create customized weapons, similar to the way that armor and weapons are "tempered" in "Legend of Mana" (another Squaresoft game I recommend.)You can also combine other items at the "recycle boxes" to create new items. When one of your customized saddles or claws breaks in battle, you may get a feather, which has various effects on your abilities.Different weapon combinations and levels produce different feathers.It pays to track down a copy of the Strategy Guide, so you can plan for which abilities you want to develop first. My biggest complaint about this game is that, if you get KO'd in a dungeon, you lose all the items and equipment you had with you.This can be very frustrating, especially in the beginning, when you can't carry much in the way of healing items.As the game progresses, however, you can rent storage space in town, where youstash extra items that won't be lost in a KO.You will also get "teleport tags" that enable you to beam out of the dungeon at any time WITHOUT losing your items. The battle system itself is different from the regular FF games, and takes some getting used to.Each time you make a move, the enemy makes a counter-move.If you don't move, both of you just stand there.Think of this as an online version of the old D&D games, where players took turns rolling dice in the battles, and it will make sense.The big advantage is that you can stop right in the middle of a battle if you need to think about what spell or item to use next.You can even teleport out of a battle if you are about to get KO'd.When you do this, you have to start the dungeon over, but you keep your items and experience points. After you have beat the game once, let the credits roll, and you can play another version of the game -- with new dungeons and the ability to fight as other characters besides Chocobo.Plus, there are some new abilities to earn and a Secret Dungeon with 30 levels!
Chocobo's Dungeon is a very fun game with very cutegraphics. The movies are very 3D and the music is very appealing. Thesystem of battle is a big relief from people who dislike constant flow ofbattle, and Final Fantasy lovers will classify this game immediately as aFinal Fantasy game for the younger audiences. This game is addicting andfun. Once you figure out a healthy system for attacking the dungeons,you'll be able to play through the game without getting confused. Overall avery fun game!
No, don't go scouring your stores - we in US never got the first"Chocobo's Dungeon." Besides, it's not like the plot is reallythat complex anyway. The chocobo (which, if you've never played a"Final Fantasy" game before, is like a giant chicken that'scommonly used as a mount) goes into a dungeon with his friends to try andsave the world. Simple, but then again, it's supposed to be. See, thisseries from Squaresoft is aimed at the younger audiences to help them breakinto the complex world of RPGs without having to do it the really hard way.The combat system's rudimentary, but functional, as is the magicsystem. The graphics are also rounded and, well, cute. Everything has asuperdeformed look to it (big heads, little bodies) and even the soundeffects are reminiscent of Saturday morning cartoons. While the Dungeongames may be aimed at younger folk, it doesn't mean that they're no fun forbig kids, because Squaresoft makes sure their games are challenging foreveryone, and even the most hardened veteran of RPGs will have troublefinishing "Chocobo's Dungeon 2" in under 20 hours. Beyond that,the game offers a second set of quests after you finish the first one, togive the game that much more longevity. And, in some ways, it's anostalgia trip for old Squaresoft fans, for them to see some of thecharacters of old Squaresoft games who have been MIA for a while. Sowhether or not you want to get into "Chocobo's Dungeon 2" reallydepends on the experience you're looking for. If you've finished"Final Fantasy VIII" and looking to cut your teeth on anotherhardcore RPG, either go get "Saga Frontier 2" or the epic andintense "Front Mission 3." If you're looking for cuteadventuring fun in short bursts, this will do just fine. --Cliff Hicks ... Read more | |

There are some features that I like which are improved from the Time To Kill game: 1.There are new, cool, destructive weapons. 2.The select option to pick weapons, objects, communications, 3.The cheat menu on screen (although, there is no "all objects cheat"). Overall, it's ok to rent and play, but, I wouldn't pay ... to buy it.
From a technology and graphics standpoint the title is just OK. But the gameplay, cinematics/story, puzzles/secrets and weapons are all top notch and well worth the price of admission to play this game. I've seen some reviews that compare the game to Tomb Raider and that is very misleading. This is an action-shooter, not an exploration game. I highly recommend this game. It will hold me over til I can get a Playstation2:)

Editorial Review As U.S. secret service officer James Patterson, you must embark on highly dangerousmissions, sometimes in the trenches, sometimes undercover, but always alone and alwayseliminating the German Nazi threat. The Nazis are equipped with the same weapons asyou, and they know how to use them. Throw a grenade and watch soldiers scatter, orbetter yet kick a steel pineapple back in their direction before it blows. Missions are divided into challenging--but never frustrating--levels that includeinfiltrating a U-boat pen, destroying a war train while disguised as a German officer, orpowering through a group of nasty Gestapo in a quaint French town. A mixture of stealthfighting and action movie bravado, using each with prudence is essential for successfullycompleting levels. This game is suspenseful, in the way that a good page-turner keeps you up at night.You'll be playing until the end of the level, but when that comes, the briefing for the nextlevel is just too enticing to stop. --Jeff Young Pros: Features Reviews (185)

Editorial Review Syphon Filter 2 is broken up into missions bridged by cinematicstory sequences; players must successfully complete each mission'sobjectives in order to progress to the next one. While gameplay isrigidly linear, there's great variety in the mission objectives, 3-Denvironments, and weapons/equipment of each mission. Not a game for the easily frustrated, Syphon Filter 2 involves alot of trial-and-error replay, along with the requisite cursing andthrowing of the controller. While each mission objective is clearlystated, many of them aren't as straightforward as one would think. Avague control scheme--your character can jump, but there's no jumpbutton--along with the fact that it's really easy to die add more fuelto one's ire. --Joe Hon Pros: Reviews (100)
this game is really great except for the few glitches but if you start getting into the game it is more fun and there is also a multiplayer mode and you could unlock area in multiplayer mode by finding items in one player mode.

Editorial Review The real crowd pleaser here is Knockout Kings 2000's career mode. Choosing from a wide varietyof options, you get to create your own custom boxer, who can fight his way to the top in career mode orparticipate in exhibition and slugfest matches. Before career fights, customized boxers can be improved bytraining, or playing various mini-games. (A memory card is required to save custom boxer data.) What robs Knockout Kings 2000 of the championship belt is its unbalanced 3-D graphics. Theboxers look great and move fluidly, but everything else appears flat and unfinished. Thankfully, fast gamespeed and responsive controls clamp down on the sightseeing, which is one sure-fire way to end up KO'd.--Joe Hon Pros: Reviews (29)
However, I agree with other reviewers in that the game is not so true to real-life boxing techniques. (Of course, one can argue that realism in a video game is unimportant, just as in the movies...) I can win too easily just throwing combos. Not much strategy involved. Also, defense is impossible in the game. All you can do is evade once the computer starts swinging; bobbing and weaving are useless. This really annoys me. Another thing that bothers me is that the computer can throw just as many combos as you, but still have nearly a full tank of stamina. I wonder why George Foreman or Mike Tyson aren't included? I mean, Jack Dempsey, but no George Foreman? Come on! And Ken Norton and Joe Frazier are underrated in the game. This really bummed me out. Also, it seems odd to me that I can beat Muhammad Ali with, say, Leon Spinks, easier than I can beat Larry Holmes or Evander Holyfield, using the exact same strategy. And Holyfield--while a great heavyweight--is not as good as the game makes him out to be, in my opinion. But all in all, the game is good for hours of enjoyment. There are more things I like about it than dislike. I recommend it favorably.
I will start out by saying that this is perhaps the best boxing game going today. Mike Tyson's Boxing for teh PSX sux bad.Ready to Rumble was just incoherent.I have not tried HBO boxing yet.The music is good.The career mode is good.There are a lot of good things about this game.BUT. Anyone that has ever had a MINUTE of training knows not to start off a fight throwing combos.The rule of thumb is to stick with your jab and let the combos flow.Do not force them.I can put the game on HARD and literally win within two rounds by doing nothing but combos.The best combo is circle, triangle, triangle, triangle.This totally goes against boxing logic. I wish EA would have put a little more stock in defense.The only way to do defense is literally hit and RUN.When the computer starts swinging, run and circle to the left.Bobbing and weaving dont work.This is depressing. I also wish EA would develop a "watch mode."I know this may sound wierd, but I LOVE commentating games.My freinds will swear that my commentary is the only reason they play the game.I would just love to commentate Chavez v Hagler.Oh well. The game is worth 20 bucks, but not much more than that.Seriously, it is not very challenging. I played the 2001 version, but dont remember much about it.BTW, Mike Tyson's Punchout for the Nintendo (1987) was the best boxing game ever--barnone.
So, I know a little about what I speak.I guess I use too much strategy when I play, because I always go to the body before going to the head. I always wear a guy down - "Kill the Body, and the head will follow". Minuses 1. I was very disappointed that even after you wear a fighter down by reducing his stamina, they were still able to throw combinations and flurries constantly. Not very realistic. 2. I am very disappointed that you have to press four buttons very, very quickly to throw a combination. I am sure the computer does not have this problem judging from the amounts it throws. 3. I am very disappointed that when you start a combination or a flurry, the computer can stop you in your tracks with a punch while you do not have the ability to do so... usually, after he starts a combination, you cannot get a punch off until he is through punching. 4. I am very disappointed that you can max out your speed and power on career mode and someone like Marlon Wayans of all people still hit as hard as you. He's a comedian for crying out loud. You should knock him out with the first punch you throw. You also get beat to the punch in many fights even with 100 in speed. 5. If you have ever paid attention to the punch stats, you will find that the other guy hits on about 90-95% of his punches. The only way to keep him from doing that is to constantly bob and weave and you still get hit more than 50% doing that and you can't really punch out of the bob and weave on this game. I on the other hand am blocked very consistently and hardly ever land more than 50%. 6.The commentators hardly get any punches right.Many rounds, all I have thrown is left hooks to the body and the other guy has thrown the occasional punch to the body back, and usually at the most inappropriate moment, O'Grady says, that's was a nice cross there. Someone in the stands must have thrown the right cross because no one in the ring did. 7. In the lightweights, you have a guy 115 lbs?Come on, Be more realistic. This isn't 1900 when there were only about four weight classes and everyone under 130 or so fought lightweight. And a hint to the programmers, A 115 lb guy could never hurt a guy 140 even if his record is 38-2-0 with 26 knockouts.And the speed difference wouldn't be enough to overcome that disadvantage. 8. How do you throw specialty punches? The little book doesn't even mention them. The little book only mentions signature punches. And I get nailed everytime I am winding up to throw my signature punch, so I stopped trying. It is also very, very difficult to press the triangle button at the same time as the "o" button. You almost have toput the controller down. 9. Overall, I am agreement with everyone who states that this is just a "press the button faster and more times and you will probably win" game. What fun is that? I can buy Street Fighter or something if I want that. I kept looking for steaks or something for "powerups". Pluses- Not many, but the wide range of fighters was pretty good, I guess.It was cool to fight Boom Boom Mancini and then right after that fight Arguello. Arguello killed me. It's fun to throw an illegal punch or elbow back when a fighter does it to you.I sometimes do it when I try for 40 seconds or so to hit the guy but he keeps covering up because he is about to go down. I was once stopped on cuts even though I had knocked my opponent down about 4 times and was leading on all the scorecards. That was OK. I am not going to buy the 2001 version because it sounds like it was more of the same of this game. It sounds like they added more glitter but no real gameplay. Here are suggestions to the makers (EA) if they keep trying. 1. Have purses and have offers to fight several opponents thereby making you have to make a decision on who you will fight. Will you fight the mandated opponent, or will you fight the big money Champion coming up from the next lowest weight division. Have a fighter be stripped of one of the belts if he doesn't fight the contender mandated by the governing body. 2. Every now and then (ay like maybe .001% or slightly more) have a fight stolen on points cards by dumb judges. 3. Have fighters have styles that give more depth to slugger and boxer like "starts fast but finishes weak", "gets stronger as the fight goes on", and other styles - there are plenty. 4. Have the ability to match up two fighters and have the computer fight for both of them. There are other things but these are the main ones I had... ... Read more | |

Playing Ray Crisis gave me exactly same taste/feeling, which I felt when I was walking out of the movie theatre. First installment, Galatic Attack, also known as Layer Section in Japan, was an awesome shooter games.It was great enough to be compared to be those great shooter games out there such as Radiant Silvergun and Shienryu. It was beautifully drawn, each level was designed with lot of thought, even the title of each stage was inspiring, coupled with excellent music by Zuntata. Now, with all the good things said about first two games of the series... Trust me, I was dying to play this very game.When I played it through, I was left with this emptiness.I might have enjoyed it up to certain extent if I haven't played the first two installment.However, first two installment were way up there in terms of gameplay, graphic, music, ending, etc, Ray Crisis just does not live up to the 'legacy' of the series, just like Alien 3 the Movie. I don't want to get into the detail why I was disappointed, gameplay(what happened?), GRAPHIC(it looks worse then Ray Storm???), music(not intuitive), etc. I thought about how to describe this disappointment and came up with perfect description. NO 'SOUL' HAS BEEN PUT INTO RAY CRISIS, PERIOD. It's a decent game. It's good enough to be enjoyed.However, it's no near to be in same level with either Layer Section or Ray Storm. What a disappointment, what a disappointment...

Editorial Review Tomorrow Never Dies uses an auto target mode, but it's far too restrictive to be of use here,requiring players to stand still in order to keep the target locked. The game loyally follows the film, butwhen the action intensifies--such as a hot pursuit on skis, or flying a nuclear warhead-laden jet out of a hotzone--players are forced to either relinquish control entirely or have minimal input. Gadgets from Bond's old pal Q are too sparsely used, and the absence of any multiplayer mode seals thisgame's fate as a small diversion rather than a stellar accomplishment. --Jeff Young Pros: Features Reviews (108)

Amazon.com Review Were it not for this major shortcoming, Resident Evil: Survivor's otherflaws would be more tolerable, if not excusable. The attempt here to graftvarious elements of the Resident Evil games onto a shoot-'em-up justdoesn't take. The plot--which casts the player as an amnesiac who survives ahelicopter crash only to find himself in a foreboding town swarming with zombiesand other hideous biotechnological mutations--is more of a side story to theResident Evil saga, and not a very interesting one at that. The game'spuzzles practically solve themselves, and while your character is free (more orless) to go where he pleases, the gameplay is so terribly linear that it mightas well take place on a predetermined track. Once you factor in the game'scoarse graphics, choppy animation, and spotty sound, what you're left with hereis far more horrible than horrifying. --Joe Hon Pros: Reviews (70)
