I need your honest opinion... - 10-20-03

on these games. And I want it only if you've played the game thoroughly and longer than just a few rental days. I've got these games on my "shit to get" list.

Xenogears
Suikoden 1, 2, and 3
Wild Arms (the first one)
Zone of the Enders 1 and 2
Contra: Shattered Soldier
Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure
FFantasy Anthology
Lunar: Silver Star Story
Lunar: Eternal Blue
Saga Frontier 1 and 2

And on any of the games that have sequels like Suikoden, Zone of the Enders, Lunar, and Saga Frontier... Do I have to have to original game to understand and play the second or third ones?

Xenogears i played for close to 30 hours before i moved


You can look at it as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of human life, or just chalk it up to my being a sick, bloodthirsty monster. Either way, it's all the same.

I'd recommend most of them, except for Lunar and contra... All the rest range from fun to bloody fantastic.

I've been looking all over at review sites - allgame.com, rottentomatoes.com, gamespot.com, etc... Anyways, sounds great, so keep 'em comin'. I like to hear a variety of opinions!

I enjoyed the first two Suikoden's very much. Didn't plat the third. The first Wild Arms was pretty good, but I don't think anything fantastic. I despised both Saga Frontiers andthink they should kill that series.

Definately Zone of Enders 2, didn't play the first one much... Xenogears is really fun and long, specially if you go for the sidequests. FF Anthology, isn't that FF6 & 5 if yes why don't you just get the ROM? much cheaper well I kinda enjoyed Saga Frontier 1, but then again I played that ages ago and I'm easily amused. Suikoden 2 is good, haven't played no 1, 3 is okay but not really good.

Eww, contra. Blah, don't bother. Horrible game. Better than the few released on the PSX, but still a horrible game. If you want a shooter get it on the computer, you can't beat shooters on the computer with console shooters. Do like Doom2, Half-Life2, or UT2003. There'd be my two cents.

I think that Strikers 1945 beats Contra anyday.

Wild Arms (the first one) <-a must own.
Zone of the Enders 1 and 2 <-rent them,you`ll pass both and get bored with them in less than a day,though they are pretty fun the first time you beat them

Xenogears is the only one worth more than a rental (unless you like retro FF)...

try something new... like Silent Hill or .Hack//

Xenogears

Wild Arms (the first one)
Zone of the Enders 1 and 2
Contra: Shattered Soldier
Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure
FFantasy Anthology
Lunar: Silver Star Story

Saga Frontier 1 and 2

Lunar eternal blue and Lunar the silver star were what made me really begin to like Anime when i was younger, the story is PHENOMINAL! the characters are all differnt so they each have vivid personalities youll really like... I assume youre speaking of the PLaystation 1 version of the games because i have the sega cd versions AND the PSX versions. If you have the means to get those games i HIGHLY RECCOMEND IT!!!!!

Also when you get to the Epilouge in Lunar Eternal Blue go into the basement where your character starts of and read the bookshelves I won a contest by Working Designs (importers of this game) and got my Haiku into the game itself... also My name is in the credits

I know for sure I'll be getting Xenogears. I've heard nothing but good things about it. And I love all the old 2-D RPG's, plus I'm a FFantasy fan, so I plan on getting Anthology, and Origins too.

No one's ever played Rhapsody? On all the review sites I've seen mostly good reviews, but I haven't heard anything from individuals yet.
