Devil May Cry	Capcom (Capcom Production Studio 4)	2001	Legend tells of two millennia ago, in the darkest reaches of hell, a demon swordsman named Sparda, awoke to justice and rebelled against the devil to wage a one-man war to save the human world from damnation. Now, 2000 years later, a dark figure named Dante finds clues that the devil is rallying to rise up again against mankind. Who was Sparda and how does Dante fit into this gothic puzzle? Deep within Dante's blood lies the power of ancient demons and the key to defeat the hoards of the dark realm. Somewhere between a man and a demon lies our only chance for salvation. If he succeeds, the Devil May Cry.*Play as Dante, half-man, half-demon, who's armed with a sword and a wide array of other firearms.

You will have unprecedented control of the direction and force of your sword and other weapons.

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter	Capcom;CE Europe (Capcom)	2002	The story and location (the world) are unrelated to earlier BoF games, gameplay also was revised almost completely. Besides using some very recognizable parts of the series (Ryu, Nina, transformation into a "dragon", etc.), the reason for labeling this game under BoF is a marketing mystery. If they had bothered to completely cut ties with BoF, the experimental nature of the game would've likely been received much better instead of being targeted by BoF fans with scorn. The greatest flaw of the game to me is the complete lack of voice overs which is somewhat unusual for games this "new".*[b]difficulty-single[/b] - despite this, every time your whole party dies the game gets easier as current party XP and gained skills are transferred back to the point when you made the save. This can be omitted, though. [b]midas' touch[/b] - Ryu's dash and D-dive abilities. [b]bioroids[/b] - the genics. [b]pigmen[/b] - duke genics [b]minotaurs[/b] - deathcow genics [b]blobs[/b] - the various goo creatures [b]insectoids[/b] - there's a variety, though most commonly you see the ant-like midget humanoids who work in the fairy colony. [b]minigames[/b] - the fairy colony management. It's much more useful and time consuming than it might sound based on it being a minigame. [b]performance issues[/b] - with 3+ enemies and placing one or more magical wards (especially electrical) the camera movement and movement circle appearance becomes stuttery. --- notes for future gar genics (garsniper, garpike) have the head of a seahorseThey live in another time, another place. A labyrinth-like world devoid of all light; where civilization has been forced to live underground for generations. Man has no recollection of how life once was. Yet a Ranger named Ryu is determined to discover the world above and begins an adventure to make his way to the surface. Can he lead his people back to freedom? For the first time on PlayStation 2 comes a brand new Breath of Fire instalment. * Visually stunning cel-shaded subterranean world settings. * Revolutionary new battle system that allows players to set up traps and decoys before going into battle. * 3-D underground worlds evolve based on your playing style for a different gameplay experience each time. * Encounter countless challenges, battles and adventures in this action-packed RPG adventure. [Box blurb]*EAN-13: [code]5055060921005[/code] Product ID: [code]SLES-51496[/code]Reach for the Sky It's an epic quest of magical proportions. You live in another time, another place, devoid of all light sources. You are now part of the underground world. Foil your menacing enemies to reach your ultimate mission. Only you can discover the way out of the labyrinth-like dungeon that envelops you and your friends. Escape your underground captors and you'll reach the world of the living. Breath of Fire V is the first of the series to appear on the PS2, and offers visually stunning cel-shaded subterranean worldsettings and an entirely new real-time/ turn-based battle system. Breath of Fire V will keep you impressed for a long, long time!**I've heard almost nothing but bad things about this game, probably because it's quite different from its predecessors, but I quite liked it. The most notable change from previous Breath of Fire titles it the new battle system, which plays more like a strategy RPG similar to Arc the Lad. Also, Dragon Quarter is more like a giant dungeon crawler instead of a traditional Japanese RPG with an overworld to explore. This game is a lot more challenging than its predecessors and if you're upto the challenge, I think you'd find the game quite entertaining (and you can pick it up for dirt cheap online!). [cjlee001]
Primal	SCE Europe;SCE America (SCE Studio Cambridge)	2003	Meet the heroine for the next millennium. Jen Tate is a modern-day girl who faces insurmountable challenges both within herself and the world around her. She's on a journey of self-discovery and self-recovery. A journey that will change the balance of her soul and the balance of world order. Along the way, she has a faithful guardian named Scree, a stone gargoyle - who will help her understand the ways of a foreign world trapped in Oblivion.* [12]The game has great production values, one of the best looking titles for the PS2. It was made to make the best use of the console's capabilities but also has great story and soundtrack, orchestral for the cutscenes and industrial rock for the combat. A very interesting mix. Aside from some glitches, there's nothing wrong with this game. Save your progress often so if you encounter a glitch you don't have to backtrack a lot. [Erameris] [32][b]Worlds:[/b] Solum, home of the Ferai. A somewhat Greek-like looking locale. Winter / Earth. * Aquis, home of the Undine. A lagoon with large turbines and iris doors. Summer/Spring / Water. * Aetha, home of the Wraith. A "mountainous" medieval setting. Autumn / Air. * Volca, home of the Djinn. [...] Summer? / Fire*[b]auto-regen[/b] - only in human form, the others need to drain life energy from other source (though usually this is handled by Scree who then channels it to Jen). --- notes Scree can climb stonework walls, should perhaps be categorized as ladders (shrubbery-type) due to their rarity.GTIN: [code]711719413929[/code] Product ID: [code]SCES-51135[/code]**The game is nice, but difficult to appreciate with the all too loud (and horrible) music going on in the "background". There's no volume adjustment or turning it off. I can't remember much else about the game anymore, but it had a nice fluffy feel to it in the gothic dark fantasy sense. Update: Either there's more than one version out there or I couldn't figure out the options menu originally as I've since found music volume control (also I sold my original copy and later acquired another) . The volumes are still all over the place regardless of the control, though.
