First, before buying this game just think to yourself, “Did I like Phantasy Star Online or did I hate it?” If you liked PSO, buy this game now, if not, then avoid this game.
For anyone that cannot make a judgement on just that or never played PSo, here’s a rundown…
The game consist of being able to pick from 3 characters…
Amber- A wicked fast fighter that is decently strong in hand-to-hand combat. But what her strength & defense lacks in, she makes up for in speed (and that fact that she can wield 2 swords at once, uber fun).
Kadie- Slower than Amber and not able to use any double weapons, but is also stronger in melee combat than the others. Her weapons are mostly close range with little reach, but her strength makes up for it.
Tokio- Not the best in close range, but he can use two guns at once, making him the best for ranged attacks. He’s also the biggest character and lacks in speed from this.
In the game, you go around maze like levels fighting enemies until you reach the boss and beat that level. There are also side quest that help to lengthen the game.
It is a cel shaded game and the shading is done better than I have ever seen and that includes Viewtiful Joe’s shading.
But if the game interest you from this review give it a try. The game is not easy, but it will challenge you, which is what you should want in a game.

I bought this game as a bargain-bin type find at the local Fry’s. And now that I’ve taken it home, geez, it makes me wonder why we even need PS3 when so much good PS2 content can be had for a few bucks.
This game is fantastic. I generally don’t like Action RPGs as much as turn-based RPGs. However, the great BGM combined with quick, satisfying game play won me over. It also features random regenerating levels. There is so much replay value here, I played the first stage like 10 times before even going to stage 2.
Very fun game, thrashing bad guys in a familiar neo-Tokyo setting. Who needs a plot?

This game has beautiful cel shaded anime cut scenes, decent voice acting and cool character designs.
If you enjoy dungeon crawlers, leveling up, and anime; then you will love this game.

After I finished playing P.N.03, I started looking for something similar. There didn’t seem to be anything. But Crimson Tears seems to be the closest thing there is. They are both Capcom side projects, have randomly generated levels, and require massive levelling.
In Crimson Tears, you don’t turn like a tank, so don’t fear that. Weapons level just like you do, but weapons get damaged and can break. Also, I swear my +50 Freeze Blades make my gal overheat.
Oh, that’s another thing. These guys are bots, so they can overheat, so you have to watch that as well as your hp. Half of your carried inventory will be cures for all the junk that gets thrown at you. And once you get to the fourth level, beware the dreaded Blue Item Stealing Dog. Just keep a gun handy, really.
I like the game. I do. But I’m thinking of quitting at this point, around 20 hrs into it, because I’m sick of constantly going through the levels that will give me the items I’ll need for the future fights.
I highly recommend reading the single gamefaq on this before playing. It’s cheap here, so if you like a good hack n’ slash, I would recommend this. I find randomly generated levels to be kind of zen.
Also, if you are able, pick up P.N.O3. Another game that gets panned as taking only a few hours. Which, really, there is no way.
Also in CT, the character modeling is amazing. Too bad they only get near the camera when running into the wall in the saving room.

I like action games. So when I play an action game and don’t have a fun time, I know something is seriously wrong.
First of all, let’s talk about the reason the game is getting at least SOME good points. The graphics in the cutscenes are amazing. I love watching them. People who love anime will definitely love the cutscenes.
The game is pretty boring because walking through castles and dungeons all the time gets pretty old. It’s not like Zelda or something, where that kind of setting is REALLY fun. This is just ordinary, predictable action. If I remember correctly, the computer puts you in the dungeon of their choice.
There’s plenty of enemies to fight throughout the game but really, most of them feel exactly the same and that’s why the game loses points for me. You have to make an action game fun until the very end and this game doesn’t do it, unfortunately.
