IGN: Rhapsody Update

It's taken a while, but publisher NIS America is finally getting behind the Nintendo DS in a big way. Next month, not only will gamers receive the mighty Disgaea DS, but the old school JRPG Rhapsody will be released the same day. Originally available in Japan back in 1998 on the PlayStation, Rhapsody is a very traditional 2D adventure featuring lots of anime artwork and random monster encounters. It may feel dated to some, but if you're a fan of the genre Rhapsody appears to be a competent offering.

Pretty much. They just toss that plot twist in so stupidly.

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.

Breaking Benjamins song in Halo 2 was way out of place, and awful.

Wedge193328d ago

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...

5 games for girls men will enjoy

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.

I hear "Fiddle the Bean" is pretty fun.

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.
