My experience is with the first game. The game is frustrating. I don't know if it's the difficulty level i.e. the dolphin needs to rise to the surface or look for air bubbles in undersea labyrinths, bosses and enemies were too tough or if the controls weren't precise enough. The game is long and there's not a lot of action but a gamer should be able to appreciate what the developers did/was trying to do. It's a unique experience and the story was pretty interesting to me..

The review was spot on. From what I remember the game was dark and it was too easy to get lost because every hallway looked exactly the same. There are so many other FPS on the PS2, that you shouldn't waste your time with it.

If you're a fan of Disney movies, then you'll enjoy the first one. The story is simpler and straightforward, the character designs are more charming, the game is more fun. I thought the second one was average at best. It lost the disney charm and the simplicity of the first - it was more like bad anime. The enemies were obnoxious, the storyline was more complicated than it should've been, I hated the quick time events and the button mashing. In a way it felt like SquareEnix was trying to change the direction of the series so it was less Disney and more SquareEnix.

Didn't they release a limited edition translucent green xbox in Canada that looks very similar to this? I wonder how hard it is for someone to forge the writing in the middle.

I think it's completely idiotic to get video games graded and the people who buy them are obsessive. Video games can't be enjoyed when they're unopened - the cover is usually drawn and doesn't give you a sense of the game. I guess you can stare at the small screenshots on the back of the box. And companies who grade video games are just taking advantage of it. Comic books - you can still enjoy the cover art. Sealed baseball cards don't prevent you from enjoying the cards.

perfect dark - japanese version looks better but I'm not sure if it's good as game box art. Photographs should never be used as game covers. crash 1 - japanese. It's more active. Crash in the us version doesn't even look like he's busting through the cover, he's just stepping over it (horrible). The other crash stuff goes to the US. crash 3 - neither. both are horrible. mass effect - us. both seem very familiar (the us one - independence day movie? the japanese one looks like an old star wars cover) mindjack - us. Japanese version is horrible.

I know a guy who makes an English cart of this game, and does a damn good job to; he creates a very authentic looking sticker label for the cart, as wel as puts in in a very authentic looking replica SNES box and includes an English manual as well. Because what he does is technically not "legal" I can't tell you who he is. It's a shame because he deserves more recogntion for what he does. If it makes you feel any better, his games are very expensive, as in $100+.

Give me a hundred dollars and I'll make a replica for anyone. He's a pirate. Not only is he downloading roms for his own gain, he's stealing the work of the people who worked hard to translate the game.

I vaguely remember letting go of the accelerator when turning into the corner starts the drift, then accelerate out to avoid the walls. Something like that.

same for me, let it go a bit and turn. I never used the brake.

overall I like warlords the best. I don't mind the tank controls. Samurai destiny adds something new by having different allies and a central town. I would've enjoyed it if it wasn't for the horrible story, villains,and voice acting. demon siege had a bad story (time travel? really?!) and jean reno was wasted; his whip weapons were very lame. time consuming backtracking puzzles. dawn of dreams - did they get rid of issens? I can only do the blocking ones. It's kind of like samurai's destiny with the different allies, it does have a "hub" and you can revisit areas. I wished the character designs were better.

most games have that label except for newer releases and reprints. there should also be a "y-fold".google it to see pictures.
