Full Metal Alchemist for PS2

[katherine_jean]

I beat the japanese version of this game a year ago, and just recently picked up the US release (39.99 canadian at best buy n_n).

I've already put an hour into it, and enjoy it greatly. It reminds me alot of brave fencer musashi, in its gameplay and stuff. And the graphics are quite vibrant and colourful.

My only complaints is that i can SWEAR the japanese version was full voiced, and it's anime cutscenes were of a MUCH higher quality (pretty much they WERE dvd quality. while the US version is all grainy looking). They also removed the opening video and song, and replaced it with some game video and some anime compilation.

But those are only minor complaints, that don't ruin the game at all.

I also really like how funny this game. Since i've never seen much of the anime, i never knew the full personalities of the characters. But i love them in the game.

My final gripe, is that this game is QUITE dated, and there's already been a sequel out in japan (which DESTROYS this game by the way. since i've beat that one already as well :p ).

I got a chance to play it today.

So far so good =P

I like the cut scenes, and its my prefered style of gameplay.

AND. I do have 1 complaint. I had to pay 50$ CAD For it, stupid Atlantic SuperStore.

The graphics I've seen better off, definatly. ut still, its the gameplay that counts, and it makes up for it with the cut scenes.
