''When a business earns its first dollar, it's customary to save it in a frame and hang it on the wall. For NIS America, the approach is the same for its darling first game. Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure comes to DS as an homage to the company's start and a testament to its emergence as a recognizable force in hardcore role-playing.
Originally released on PSone, Rhapsody is being retooled for its handheld debut with a new battle system, updated visuals, and a extra content. While we weren't privy to exactly what bonuses are being added to the game, we did get a good look at the new graphics and tested out the battle mechanics.
Rhapsody follows a young girl named Cornet as she endeavors to return the petrified Prince Ferdinand to his normal fleshy state. Cornet's ability to speak with puppets and play a magical horn that grants wishes puts her in a unique position to reverse the botched spell that landed Ferdinand is his predicament; of course, it's quite an adventure before she's able to save the Prince.''
"I laughed and I cried. I did both for reasons similar and opposite. I went full range on this one." -GR
"I have to go now. My planet needs me."
Pretty much. They just toss that plot twist in so stupidly.
"As we say in the 'cast, these aren't necessarily the worst songs in gaming, but they stand out to us as ones we dread. In most cases, they're simply the worst songs out of otherwise great soundtracks." -GR
Wait, how is Rhapsody a "Good Soundtrack?"
Anyway, the museum music in Animal Crossing: New Leaf is like the only song I don't enjoy.
So many albums have THAT song that just highlights how good the rest of the soundtrack is.
I dont want to even know why the $%#/ someone would thin any song in FF9 stains the soundtrack...
Just because a game is geared towards women doesn't mean men will catch cooties from trying it out. This list suggests men give Style Savvy: Trendsetter, Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom, Atelier Meruru, Princess Debut and Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure a chance.
I've enjoyed all the games listed here except for Hakuoki. Princess Debut is my favorite, and one every big burly man should play at least once.
Fantastic list.
If this is your way of justifying kiddie games, then do what you gotta do.
From the Artelier paragraph, 'the heroines are almost always female.' No crap sherlock!
Anyways, its true, one of the reasons I've never tried the Artelier games on PS3 is that it seems girly. Might give it a go as soon as the PSV port is released.
