Made from Level 5, the same people Dark Cloud came from, this game is just as long as DC. It has some features that remind you of DC, such as the weapon customization, but this game is so much bigger. Eight playable pirates each with their own specific weapons and abilities; each character having a main weapon and a side weapon; many different worlds; there's so many side things to do as well, such as the Insectron or the Hunter's Rankings. The factory adds a whole new level to the game, allowing you to create new items from materials you find while fighting and new blueprints you gather from wandering around and talking to people. It takes a while to figure out how it's supposed to work , but after that it's awesome to play around with and check out the creations.
All in all, a long and entertaining game.
