''Ever since Operation Darkness was announced for the Xbox 360 last year, I was both excited and hesitant about the game. On the one hand, the 360 could use some variety, and an Atlus-published strategy RPG would really help the console become more than just a first-person shooter machine. On the other hand, while I am a big fan of Atlus, they have had some misses, and I've never spent a lot of time with the strategy genre. Still, I eagerly awaited the game's North American release, and the result was a fun game with a few too many flaws to truly achieve greatness.
Unlike many strategic RPGs set in fantasy worlds, Operation Darkness is set during World War II, and takes place on the battlefields of that epic war. The story is initially told as a series of history lessons, complete with black and white footage of soldiers gearing up for war. The game focuses around a group as soldiers known as the "Wolf Pack", and once the supernatural elements of the game come into play, you will understand why. At its core, gameplay is on par with that of other tactics games: characters move in turns based on their speed stat, and can either make an attack or use an item on their turn in addition to moving.''
RPGs are great, but it takes a lot of dedication to finish most of them. Here are six PS3 and Xbox 360 RPGs Gamemoir's Nick never saw the credits of.
