Summoner	THQ (Volition)	2000	Sometimes it's just too hard to try to do things all alone. Take, for example, Joseph, who is on a quest to find some ancient rings. As a summoner--a type of sorcerer who can conjure creatures out of the ether and make them do his bidding--Joseph has the luxury of calling in a little reinforcement help when things get a little too hot. However, the summoner has had some bad luck using these special powers in the past. As a result, he has to be especially judicious in summoning. Thankfully, not all of his help comes via incantation; along the way he'll run into others who can join him in his mission. Summoner, one of the first role-playing games for the PS2, includes a party-based battle system.* [100]* [12]*** [32]

Eternal Quest	Midas Interactive Entertainment (Tamsoft)	2002
Drakan: The Ancients' Gates	Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (Surreal Software)	2002	In the ancient, decaying world of Drakan, the immortal Spirit Dragons are being held captive. Rynn, a brave female warrior, and Arohk, a fearless dragon, are called upon to save these spiritual leaders, as well as the last remnants of mankind. Embarking on an enchanted journey through eight vast, foreign environments, Rynn and Arohk use magical spells, resourcefulness, and more than 50 powerful weapons in their quest to save civilization. With an immersive story line, stunning graphics, and intense battles, Drakan: The Ancients' Gates places you within a world of magical creatures, mysterious lands, and courageous conquests.*[b]missing images:[/b] title and actual in-game screens (both on foot, riding arokh, possibly when fighting with bow and magic)GTIN: [code]711719342229[/code] Product ID: [code]SCES-50006[/code]*Unlike its predecessor, "Drakan 2" had actual role-playing elements thrown in, though only limited to gaining experience and selecting which of the three skills (melee, ranged or magic) you increased with time. This was refreshing, since you couldn't max her out on everything (not even two of 'em), so it paid to pick out one as your strongest skill and the others as nice backup plans :) The game felt annoyingly claustrophobic to me compared to the previous game which had vast-ish locales with plenty of room to walk in any direction. With Drakan 2 this was changed for tighter areas that seemed to stop too soon in any direction for my liking. Even when flying with Arokh the areas were awfully tight and you had to contend with the other dragons for space in your aerial battles. Only in few places did you have sufficient room, compared to the previous game where you pretty much always had plenty of room (except maybe when you were flying in the tunnels, but that's a given). In Drakan 2 you're flying over "vast" deserts and whatnot, yet you have almost as much space as you had in some subterranean caverns in the previous game. The joy of seeing, and playing as, Rynn and Arokh again were enough for me when I first played this game (actually years after it was quietly* released), but the game is sadly not particularly outstanding despite being the successor of the best dragonriding game I've ever played (yet).***In the ancient, decaying world of Drakan, the immortal Spirit Dragons are held captive, as a fearsome alien race called the Desert Lords overrun the land. Rynn and Arokh return in this sequel to critially acclaimed Drakan: Order of the Flame to awaken the ancient Dragons of The Order and free the land from its oppressors. Embarking on an enchanted journey through eight vast, foreign environments, Rynn and Arokh utilize magic spells, resourcefulness and more that 50 powerful weapons in their quest to save civilization. With an immersive storyline, stunning graphics and intense battles, Drakan: The Ancients' Gates places you within a world of magical creatures, mysterious lands and courageous conquests! [Surreal]

Deus Ex	Eidos (ION Storm)	2002	The year is 2052 and the world is a dangerous and chaotic place. Terrorists operate openly, killing thousands, while drugs, disease, and pollution kill even more.

Worst of all, believers of an age-old conspiracy bent on world domination has decided that the time is right to emerge from the shadows and take control. No one believes the conspiracy exists--no one but you. The adaptation of this role-playing adventure for the PlayStation2 retains all of the levels and missions of the PC original.* [100]* [12]*** [32]

Shinobi	Sega (Overworks)	2002	[b]rage[/b] - this disappears extremely fast, but also is gained at similar speed. the sword's attack strength increases with each kill (and starts to glow), though this usually resets to default after each battle. [b]dying[/b] - after stage 2(?) onwards the sword starts draining the protagonist's life if he doesn't keep on killing people (this partially recharges the sword's own energy). this gives an artificial time limit and forces the player to hurry and punishes you if you get lost (not often possible) or can't find the seals for the magic barriers fast enough.*Product code: [code]SCES-51428[/code] GTIN: [code]711719448525[/code]*Shinobi has returned! Left to avenge his Clan after a sinister force is awakened in Tokyo, Hotsuma must confront demons from his past and defend his role as Leader of the Oboro Clan. Drawing off the ancient traditions of Ninja magic, Hotsuma uses wall running, shuriken attacks, and the coveted Akujiki Sword to fight the deadly masked foes that stalk him. With the special Stealth Dash technique, he creates ghost-like apparitions that confuse his enemies. He can then strike with a lightning-quick "Tate" in which his blade moves so fast the victims don't even realize they've been struck until they fall to their death. [R2D2-A]
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]

Zombie Hunters	D3 Publisher;505 Game Street (Tamsoft)	2005	"Zombie Hunters" is the same version of the "Zombie Zone" with some extras like being able to handle Aya's sister, Saki, or Riho and Makoto Futaba as well as a few extra costumes for each character.***The only challenge this game offers are when you enter berserker rage and start losing your health constantly. This either means you have to use an item that comes in limited supply to dispel it or find a statue that cures the state. Otherwise this is plain and simple hack&slash with nothing to interest you (unless watching a girl hack zombies for hours is entertaining to you), and there doesn't seem to be much story either to invigorate any interest. Berserk mode is entered when the rage meter maxes out, this is tied to how bloody your character gets. Although you can clean your sword whenever you want, this has little effect on how bloody you yourself are. Extremely bloody sword has a habit of getting stuck in enemies and cleaning it only serves to avoid this. There are only few ways to counter berserk mode, avoiding getting blood on you (avoid fights that aren't necessary, though there aren't many), clean yourself as often as possible (happens automatically near certain statues), and using certain one-shot items that clear your rage meter. Neither the statues nor the items are very abundant, so this is actually the most pressing problem you have in the game. Enemies also occasionally drop red orbs that boost the rage meter significantly. You can completely avoid berserk mode by kicking everyone to death, but this is extremely slow compared to slashing them up with your sword.
