Adventures, temples, monsters, puzzles, secrets and beauty both in the graphics and in the body of our Protagonist: Lara Croft, will be uncovered as the take the role of a treasure finder and play her life in a memorable way.

Her first adventure, of many that lies ahead. began with a request to find an ancient artifact called "The Scion" that it's divided in three parts around specific places, hidden places all over the world, beginning in Peru, from that point the game will show it's true potential only to get better and better, and not only that, the Story will also emerge from predictable to really shocking at times, all will combine with the old and the classic engine of the saga and, better yet, with the amazing new improvements to create a retro-innovative experience that had been forgotten in the modern games.

Story: Simplicity has always been good and with plot twist, many plot twist that depending on what you want to believe, can be surprising and will, no matter what, have an important cavity in the next installments -10-

Gameplay: Action-Adventure may be it's genre, but it also can be Fantasy-Action Adventure, Survival-Horror or even Puzzle, I feel free to say this because I found the gameplay engine very complete, entertaining and never, never boring, but Sadly: Very Easy - 9-

Graphics: Beautiful, nice textures that proves of what the PS2 was capable of doing even when the next generation of Consoles, the 7th Generation, was starting. Well done characters and Scenery is one thing, that remains it's beauty all the time, I mean: Action Sequences, Quick Times Events or the occasionally slowdowns, it's another... Wonderful Thing -10-

Sound: Here the Retro stands out full of epic beats and calm... intriguing peace that is require to think in moments of need which are many, by the way the Final Boss music is more than greatly executed and you feel the real final battle of the game thanks to the plot twists mentioned before -10-

Overall: Maybe many people will like to try an old game, a Classic, and being the case that is hard to find the Original Tomb Raider, a remake it's just the perfect option to get the game or if the Original turns out to be difficult or simple, if you want to try the updated version of the game -9.5-

The Remake of the first Silent Hill, many expect the same story and better graphics, but that didn't happen, Konami was preparing an entire new remake that sure don't disappoint...Until certain point.

Everything has changed, even the story: the beginning is like the original but after the event you will experience a brand new adventure. Harry lost his daughter: Cheryl, and he think that she will be wandering around that place: Silent Hill, as Harry continue searching he meet a know character: Cybil, but after that the nightmare start and everything turns in ice, he only has access to one door where he see the monster and began to run, he find the exit and the nightmare ends.

The other part of the game: the Psychologist Sessions, is a new addition where you can change the game with your decisions, the psychologist will tell to answer with truth but you are the only who decide, this option gave the game a lot of replay value if you want to know what will happen if you take another decision.

Gameplay: The gameplay is different from the other Silent Hill: you will never have a weapon or something like that, only your flashlight and arms to push the monster awaits, all this is different but good. The puzzles like every Silent Hill game are hard. The bad is the duration end before you think about it -8-

Graphics: The Graphics don't look too great or like the previous games but in it own are good and add that creepy aspect to Silent Hill. -9-

The Sound is great, more songs in the game would've been be awesome -9-

Silent Hill Shattered Memories can be call a true remake, not because the change in the story, not, for the changes in all and the new things that make it not like the others yet unique and another enjoyable Silent Hill -8-

Like the name says, Silent Hill 2 it's the sequel to Silent Hill 1, but just in the numeration, because this game has a whole new story that may not has to with the town but that still manage to suck you in.

James receive a letter from his wife Mary, telling him that she is waiting at Silent Hill, in their "Special Place" but there is a big problem: She's dead, that makes James to go there, to find out who send him that letter or maybe to find her there. As the game goes on, James will face the monsters and creepy things of Silent Hill and some really weird characters, but top of that he will meet Maria, someone very similar to Mary, in almost every way, that's why James will think that she is Mary, that she didn't die or that maybe the town of Silent Hill is making him suffer...

Story: Excellent, weird and sad, all mix perfectly and the game end up being very shocking, but don't have the nightmare -9-

Gameplay: The same like in Silent Hill 1, thing that it's still awesome cause it retains the fear -10-

Sound: Creepy and spooky -10-

Graphics: Truly fantastic, the characters, the scenarios, all looks just amazing, but the camera won't help sometimes -9-

Overall: Don't expect a direct sequel of Silent Hill 1 here, cause you will meet something new and that sadly... won't have a happy ending -9-

As the title implies, bombs are to be found in this game, you have weapons to destroy your enemies and other things if you want to.

Jutah everyday have nightmares about a mission that take place 7 years ago, but as a "Nothing more than a Killing Machine" like he said, he has to get over it. Jutah and his team are given the mission to destroy Dante, a big space ship wanting to destroy the planet Hornet, their infiltration in Dante fails so Jutah and Benoit are launch to Dante in order to destroy the anti-aircraft weaponry, Benoit disappear from here and the protagonist Jutah must do the job by himself, after this the protagonist enter Dante to fulfill the mission. He will face many enemies, powerful bosses, even biohazard weapons and meet "someone" that said to know things about him.

Story: It's an action game, so no much Story to be told, still Silent Bomber story is simple and very easy to understand -10-

Gameplay: The Gameplay is pretty much: select your target and fire, of course you can jump and make your own strategies to earn more points and find all things in the game. Sometimes you will love the camera position and the other times you will wish that the game leave you move it, there is no easy or hard difficulty, only the normal difficulty that may sometimes upset you, strategies are needed, but the game will give you ideas if you lose many times. -8-

Graphics: Like i've been saying, all is action and the graphics in Silent Bomber are fast so no problems there -10-

Sound: As for the Sound, no much to complain about, it gives the perfect atmosphere for every mission and every boss battle -10-

Overall: Silent Bomber it's a great and really UNDERRATED game, that have it's problems but that make it more challenging like an arcade game -9.0-

A distant and large land, a warrior and his horse, an mysterious being, a girl that have died, unknown characters and the big colossus, hard to believe that's all the game has to offer, but that fact don't make it easy and simple, it make Shadow of the Colossus challenging and full of adventure.

You are Wander, a warrior that travel with his noble horse: Agro, to a distant land where those who have died can recover their souls, Wander go there to revive a girl: Mono, after a long trip they arrive to the distant land and a mysterious being: Dormin tell him and by only bring Mono to that place won't give back her soul, first the all the 16 colossus must be defeated, Wander without give a second thought take that dangerous task in order to bring back Mono, and by that Wander and Agro adventure begins.

Story: Not much to tell, almost everything is explained at the end so I can't say anything, just that no matter how simple and somehow repetitive the game is, it's story is something completely different, something unique that will surprise you -10-

Gameplay: Here is where the game shine, defeating colossus, finding their weak points and specially finding where they are will tie you up to the game -10-

Graphics: WOW, the game itself is great but the graphics help it to make it better, way better -10-

Sound: Very good sound effects and wonderful soundtrack, though sometimes can be a little boring to hear, it will give that unique atmosphere to the game -9.5-

Overall: Short but Worthy, anyway if you like games where you have to wait to understand something, if you like adventure and challenges, Give Shadow of the Colossus a chance, you won't regret it -9.5-

This is one of the few times that I write a review for a game that I like but that really was a letdown when it comes to gameplay... I'm a hard die Resident Evil Fan but I have to be honest and...Resident Evil 5 has a lot of improvements but not all of them fit in a Resident Evil game.

Chris now work to the BSAA and continue with his fight to end the Bio Weapons Terrorism, but he lost his partner: Jill. In his mission he head to Africa where he meets his new Allie: Sheva, however the memory of Jill will pursue him, the story is simple: They have to stop the Bio Hazard problem over there by chasing a man named: Irving, in the pursuit old enemies and the new threat will interfere making the team to think if continue with the mission or leave while they have the chance or... search for something Chris's believe is there.

Story: Slow, good, shocking and maybe you will know what will happen next when you saw some events that may tell you something .-9-

Gameplay: Much like it's predecessor, that's good, but many, way so many things taken from Re4 are the same and that isn't really good. The saving system is very unfair and can make the game more easy than it already is .-4-

Graphics: Incredible everywhere you put them, not problems here, at least .-10-

Sound: Very intense, not scary .-8-

Overall: The game is good, not doubt, yet no matter how much you resist to not compare it to Re4, that will be INEVITABLE -8-

Phantasmat it's a hidden-objects game from Codeminion Games, an industry that I knew about about thanks to this game and prove me to be capable of making entertaining games while giving a complex adventure.

You're yourself, it's never known if you're a man or a woman, but you have a car accident and end up in a forest of nowhere trap, from there on you have to find anything useful in your way and context to advanced and find a way out, in this case, a way in. After solving a few puzzles you will find a woman that lives there and willing to help you to get out of there cause that place isn't safe or normal, later following her indications you find a hotel where you find a man that promise to help you if you help him, after that nothing happened and the plot is set: find out what happened and what is going on there while making your way out or in.

Story: Good and predictable while sad but enough to satisfy the player after so many confusions.-8.5-

Gameplay: Puzzle solving and hidden-object are the only gameplay in this game, sometimes hard, sometimes too easy, sadly in the few action scenes the game will be in the easy side, you will never lose.-7.5-

Graphics: Beautiful, hand made drawings and awesome flash with glorious 2D stand up the game against it's flaws.-10-

Sound: Absorbing, one of the many things you will remember from Phantasmat, from the very beginning to very end.-9.0-

Overall: Play it to see something different and have a good time, works well in most of the computers to date and outdated.-8.5-

This is a ninja game by Capcom, in it you will use your swords and techniques to kill your enemies, while you will have to solve some puzzles to make your way in, all it's well done, and as the first game of the series, it give a good feel.

You are Samanosuke, a ninja that need to rescue a princess from a castle that is surrounded by demons, Samanosuke as a ninja can't beat all the demons by himself, that's why you receive a gauntlet that will give you the strength to face them, and absorb their souls to gain more power. He along with his partner: Kaede enter the castle and began to search for Princess Yuki, in their way, they will find many demons, an evil/crazy antagonist and a mysterious one that will cause them many problems. All to revive the bad guy: Nobunaga, thing that Samanosuke and Kaede must stop.

Story: The story can be hard to understand at first but, like happen in Resident Evil, you will find books that will give more information about the story. A story that is good -10-

Gameplay: The Gameplay is simple: you kill demons, absorb their souls and gain more power, of course the puzzles will be present and sometimes they will require that you think very well. All mixed, all good -9.5-

The graphics are very good for a 2001 game, well the graphics prove of what Capcom is able to bring us -10-

Sound: The sound as a ninja game do a an excellent job adding the Japan atmosphere -10-

Overall: Onimusha Warlords is an example of a game that may have things from other game of it's company, but if it's done right, it will make success, thing that this game did in it's time -9.5-

100 years ago before the game begins the god wolf Shiranui and the warrior Nagi fought Orochi to save the world, they defeat it but die in battle. The peace returns but it's told that after every 100 years Orochi come back to life to make havoc again, and so it happens but someone else also come back...

Shiranui reborn as Amaterasu through his statue to stop Orochi once again from destroying the world, but he don't remember his powers so Sakuya help him to do so with the help of Issun. Sakuya explain the situation to Amaterasu and give Issun the job to join and help the wolf to destroy Orochi and whatever it's plans are.

Story: It's somehow confusing at the beginning but like Amaterasu needs to recover his powers again a long journey awaits where all will explained little by little -10-

Gameplay: It's like the typical adventure game that we are used to play but Okami with it's unique gameplay and the celestial brush manage to create an unique experience that can be somehow difficult to control but totally awesome to enjoy -10-

Graphics: Gorgeous in every aspect -10-

Sound: A lot of great Japanese soundtrack is to be found and you will love it -10-

If you like Japanese culture, good adventure and experience something different Okami it's the game with all those attributes -10-

2D games are forgotten in the past because of the newest and extremely good looking 3D games, still this game makes the difference, just like others, to bring and gorgeous game even in 2D graphics and a good game too.

You see a Girl with a book to read, once you pick it up, the story will begin as Gwendolyn: A princess who seek out the love of her father Odin and will all to accomplish so, until she finds another person more important to love and fight for.

Later of reading (after beating her story) comes the book of Cornelius, a prince fall in love with a princess of another country or a witch according to his father, he is cursed suddenly and must find the way to revert the curse.

After there's Mercedes Story, a fairy princess who don't know much of battle or the acknowledge to reign being a princess or a queen, after her mother dies in battle, she have to find a way to overcome her fears and take the position of queen to make her dead mother, and her fairy nation safe and proud.

Continuing with the stories, Oswald come next, a man who only serves to people because of his skills in battle and for his dark, almost perfect power, however, he is lonely and angry inside but when he finds a new reason to live he will use his evil power for something good this time.

Finally Velvet's story, she is the another princess but of a dead nation, she finds out that she is cursed that say she and her brother will die or suffer forever and begin to search a way to solve it, no matter what it cost, even her life.

Of Course there is a main story, where all the five protagonist will participate, on it there is machine named Cauldron, a baby dragon, a suspicious King, three sorcerers and a prophecy that will be an obstacle for the all many times, so the protagonist have to face them to fulfil their duties and in the way, they may work with another one.

Story: As for the Personal stories of each protagonist, it's amazing, some have love, others joy and pain making those stories great to be seen. Now for the main story, it's bad directed, cause once you finish a protagonist story, or you may go to the past or to the future of the previous and with the personal stories, you may forget what the main story is, though it's kinda fair and enjoyable, when you understand it, but in the end and at the end, you will see what it's all about, being for the good or for the bad. -5-

Gameplay: It's more like an Action-RPG instead of a RPG, wonderful ideas are present and well made, if not great at all, it will be lame most of the time but when action is present, it's full of it adding suspense, it's not like others RPG in many ways, but that adds originality and it's good while challenging, the controls aren't something to complain about, just fine, yet repetition of all the stages more than 3 times isn't good, and fight the same boss again and again, sometimes with and extreme slowdown, it's worse. -7-

Graphics: Beautiful in Every Way, landscapes, castles, characters, all of them are cute in this game, can't say more it's just, astonishing. -10-

Sound: Awesome voice acting and well put sounds here and there are well made, some songs like the gameplay will be repetitive, while others that does not play constantly, are perfect for the occasions. -9-

Overall: A good game, it's beautiful, it's challenging, nice stories and great ideas, just need the patience to overcome it's repetition and maybe, a good experience can be obtained. -8-

Long hours of gameplay, good races and nice cars are still here and are better, yes, but also have the pursuits, great graphics even for today both in game engine and in the cut-scenes, but the repetition, it's at it's best.

You found yourself in a race against some guy of the Blacklist named Razor, nothing it's clearly explained but after the race start, and you lose because of your car began to have problems, the game will revert the game to the real beginning and you will see how things really are. You arrive at Rockport to race with your Partner Mia, however, after some races, the police already had an eye on you and the opportunity to race in the blacklist is at hand, so you will ignore the cops and go to the blacklist right away. Now there the story will return to the way it was, you will lose the race and you car, and worst yet, the police imprisons you, Mia help out and you gain again your freedom. From there, you will need to find a new car in order to race in the blacklist against 15 racers and to recover your Car from Razor, now number 1 in the Blacklist.

Story: For a Driving Game, the story is pretty good, not that much for obvious reasons, but enough to continue playing to see what happens next. -8-

Gameplay: Great at first but race against 15 racers, all of them with many races in particular, it's boring and extremely repetitive that may kill your interest in the game very quickly, the pursuits and a few tracks are still great with the controls, which feel comfortable and there is no need really to change them, but mostly all the Rockport map is left away and probably you will never see them, plus, the difficulty changes is a bad way, from hard to easy, and viceversa, totally unexpected. -6-

Graphics: Amazing, both in the Cut-Scenes and in Game Engine, there is not need to put the maximun resolution or high details, your eyes will be pleased. -10-

Sound: Good sounds and some great licensed music and composed too, adds life to the races. -9-

Overall: If you like NFS games or driving games in general, this is the game, need some patience but a worthy experience is guaranteed despite it's flaws. -8-

A new yet known character is given a mission, in the jungle where he have to destroy a machine, while he is there Ocelot will make trouble, the Cobra unit will be on the way and Snake's master will be there too but not helping...

The new yet known character: Naked Snake, was right about to succeed in the mission but The Boss appears and everything fails, a week later Snake return to the same place to finish the mission once a for all, but with a new task to fulfill, still the Cobras will get in the way like Ocelot but EVA come to help, with her help Snake will be able to proceed, Volgin the antagonist will not only watch, he will along with The Boss will make suffer Snake many times. As the story continue extraordinary battles and sad/happy scenes will make the game more and more better.

Story: Is confusing at first but like most the games all will be revealing and in the end the game finish it in a insuperable way -10-

Graphics: The graphics are superb with better movements and environments -10-

Sound: The sound is incredible, those elements make a great game into something even better -10-

Gameplay: There is only one word that can describe the gameplay: Outstanding, the new stamina gauge will make that you search food in the jungle or you won't aim well, the only way to recover life is waiting in a safe place or stop playing and turn on your console after a long time to continue with all your life, the camouflage is also available to hide from the enemies -10-

Overall: What the game does better is the ending, I won't spoil anything but I will say that from the start of the battle all with advance with action/drama and everything that the game did well will be even great until the very end -10-

From Megaman X 1 to 6, Megaman X Collection bring back those games that many people played in their childhood (like me) making fans revive the good moments that X and Zero made.

Megaman X1

The game that started it all, identical to the SNES game, X1 it's a good game with a simple story that will become a big one in the later games, introducing a new protagonist: Zero and the new Antagonist that will be present in all the games like Willy did: Sigma. The 8 bosses are still there and the new things like: Dash, Air Dash and Armors give Megaman X just what it need to be succesful like the Original Megaman Did. -10-

Megaman X2

Pretty much the same as X1, with the only difference tha the story is changing. -9-

Megaman X3

Taking the good thing of it's predecesors, X3 end the Megaman X SNES era just perfectly, the story grows more and with it the new additions like Robots to control, 2 types of amors and the opportunitty to play as Zero for the first time. -10-

Megaman X4

Megaman X headed to the Playstation 1, and with that, the entire game changed, for the better. With the same X formula, X4 add new things like the option to plays as X or Zero the entire game so the player can see the 2 protagonists story and past with Animated Movies, also major improvements in the gameplay were added and the new design can be little dated but still awesome. -10-

Where the series began to fall...

Megaman X5

At first, while you see the same gameplay from X4 you will be happy, but as you progress just a bit in the first stage, the flaws are easily seen, the poor design, sound, difficulty and even story it's just bad, the new things are good but the game it's bad executed, so even the little good things can't help. -4-

Megaman X6

X4 get stuck in the past and none of it's good aspects where implanted in it's successors, not only that X6 still have the bad things from X5, but the new things, that are few, feel like the same as X5's, the only good things are the music and the Ninja Armor for X, nothing else. -6-

Play it if you want to remenber those good moments of Megaman X, just know that if you played X5 and X6, don't think them will be better, they are bad as always. -8.5-

This game is the second game that I play for this generation, and I'm excited not only for that, but for have the honor to play a game where you have to take your brain to the limits.

You are a boy, who find himself in LIMBO, he wake up and began his search for her sister, on the way he will find all kind of obstacles that he has to beat to continue.

That's pretty much the plot of the game, I could tell more but will be spoilers so I won't, one thing is certain, there will be parts in the game where you will see strange, rare and inexplicable things that may confused you, but if you take time and try to remember what really happened you will get your conclusion.

Story: Confusing, good, bad or rather unfinished depending on what you believe. -8-

Gameplay: HARD, the puzzles will make you suffer and may get you upset in no time. -10-

Graphics: Dark, somewhat scary and very good detailed. -9-

Sound: From low volume to high with great sound effects. -8-

Overall: Must play, while playing this game you won't only push yourself, you will be happy each time when beat a puzzle only to get into another one. Very challenging -8.5-

First it was a recommended game from my girlfriend that was so good and after becoming one of the greatest games I have ever played, Klonoa is now another of my favourite series and of course I had to try Klonoa 2, which prove to be a great sequel not only for staying loyal to its roots or improve its graphics but for introducing new and great improvements that absolutely strengthen an already strong series.

This time, our time traveler: Klonoa, appears in a new world that also seeks his help, now with 2 new partnerts, more enemies, more and longer visions and a story that may apart itself from the previous, but that also helps to create something new, something better.

Story: Fair, despite as already said, its has a new story and forgets about the other, this new one is more happy, more full of life thanks to the others improvements made in the game and again will offer many feelings with the only exception that there is not so many sadness or pain like in the first game, nevertheless the new story and the other being in the shadows leave space for a new complete and more better continuation -9.5-

Graphics: Epic, perhaps a big step in graphics back in 2001, just what Klonoa 2 needed to really show up the emotions of its characters and the world full of joy -10-

Sound: Fitting and catchy of course, with a song that has its own languague(I think Klonoa sings it)that and other great music is to be expected -10-

Gameplay: Better impossible, yet, a new gameplay is introduced and if there are errors, them are really out of sight -10-

Overall: A good sequel, if not better than its predecessor in some ways, but nothing is perfect, and all can not be violence or hated, Klonoa 2 is here to state that joy can be enough if done well -9.5-

This game happens right after the first game, you find yourself in a castle with a new task: discover why you are forgetting your memory.

Sora, Donald and Goofy must make their way in Castle Oblivion, where they will be forgetting their memories, them with the help of the cards must advance, re-exploring the previous worlds and see what is happening, there will be new enemies, new story and new gameplay. Riku wake up in the realm of darkness and someone gives him a card to face the darkness in Castle Oblivion, he meet 2 new enemies and a old one, also he meet King Mickey.

Story: Is good, but in some events the characters don't speak, also the worlds events have been changed, that is strange at first, however near the end of the game the new good character: Namine, will tell you why -9-

Graphics: They are good, are like in the Kingdom Hearts 1 but somehow it seems a little better -9-

Sound: Is good, with some pieces of the previous game but is good -9-

Gameplay: Now the gameplay is innovative and addicting at first, but as you make progress through the game re-exploring the worlds with the same structures, the cards will be more hard to control, thing that sometimes can annoy you -6-

Overall: The good thing is that you will continue knowing Kingdom Hearts, meet the new story and the new enemies: The Organization, they are very hard specifically Marluxia, but this only happen in Sora's story because with Riku the boss battles are very easy. The game is good even with the cards, so if you are Kingdom Hearts Fan you will have a nice time with it -8-

The sequel of the great job that Disney and Square Enix is here, featuring a new character along with a new story that will clarify the true intentions of Organization XIII.

The game begins with the daily life of Roxas, short after the beginning he will have dreams where Sora and many others old characters appears, but Roxas also have to deal with strange creatures that will come to the city until he remember everything and decide to put an end to that, but he find Sora and at that point the game truly begins, king mickey appear and the new task to Sora is set, something very known by the way: Travel the worlds but this time is to find out what Organization XIII is after.

Story: Is more big, more interesting and way more varied, some worlds doesn't appears in the game but the new ones are great, they may not be so explorative like before but Organization XIII or other heartless will make you to come back again -10-

Graphics: They are like in Kingdom Hearts 1 but somehow they look greater than before -10-

Sound: As the first manages to do well, the Sound is once again great and with more songs to each battle -10-

Gameplay: It retains the same, but additions will not do anything wrong, and they didn't, the reactions commands are a huge improvement like the drive forms, both of them work very well specially in the boss battles, and the gummi ship also show changes, now the ship move faster and the stages are different, which is a good thing -10-

Overall: Kingdom Hearts 1 have something that make it unique: the charm, Kingdom Hearts 2 don't forget it and make it even better than before with more touching scenes and of course an ending that will not disappoint you -10-

I will, despite the fact that I played Shadow of the Colossus first, and find this one very similar, write my review like if I haven't played Shadow of the Colossus before.

ICO, a boy with horns, is imprisoned in a castle where boys like him are carried, he is left alone inside some kind of cell and after few minutes and earthquake happen and his cell broken leaving him free, ICO quickly search for a way out and find a girl that was also imprisoned, he does free her and a shadow appear to take her to an unknown place, ICO with a stick save her and decide that if he will escape from the castle he has to take the girl too, they find the exit but the witch appear and lock the exit, after that ICO and the girl ( Yorda ), start to search for a way to unlock the exit again, and at the same time, their adventure beings.

Story: Not much to tell, O already tell much of it above, it's short but really strong -10-

Gameplay: Adventure and puzzles are everywhere, you will spent a lot of time finding out how to solve something or find the way, that's really awesome and the monsters will get in the way to add action to it -10-

Graphics: Like a said before, ICO is like a fairy tale, and the graphics are both cute and great -10-

Sound: Appropriate, though sometimes you won't hear much, other times it will be very good and natural -9-

Overall: If you always wanted a game where you can protect and girl all the time, this is your game, don't doubt it -9-5.

Galerians Ash, unlike Galerians, isn't 3D rendered, it have full 3D, new combat system and more characters, as for the gameplay and story well... Read Below.

After the past events of the first game you: Rion, appears once again right where your previous adventure ended, but something feels wrong and someone is trying to communicate with you, someone you know. As you do the same things from the past, and the new ones, you will finally make contact with the person that was trying to communicate with you: Lilia, she tells you everything and what you need to do in order to leave that time, or data, where you are, Rion successfully manage to do what Lilia said and he is transported to the real time.

Now, once again, Rion and Lilia, along with the few survivors must defeat him to be free and make a new world.

Story: Mostly all has to do with what happened at the end of the previous game, however the new story it's good, though it would have been better and more normal instead of insane. -8-

Gameplay: The new combat system in full 3D is awesome, addictive and hard, but you always, always will be walking the same areas, you will memorize the 3 scenarios of the game quickly thanks to that. -9 for the combat- -5 for the lame grinding-

Graphics: Impressive background and superb CG scenes, though characters design in game engine were poorly created. -8-

Sound: Somewhat scary sometimes, very detailed, it's better now with more Punk-Techno music. -9-

Overall: Galerians Ash, with patience can be good, without it, forget it. Die Hard Fans Only -9.5-
