This week on Do You Remember, we talk about Illusion of Gaia, one of Quintet's developed titles and published by Enix that really should eventually appear on the Wii's virtual console to compliment the already-available Secret of Mana, a vaguely similar style of game. Illusion of Gaia is steeped in real-world lore, documenting the travels of a group of people across many of the Ancient Wonders of the World, as well as a few other notable, historic places and a few original dungeons. It's also an easily forgotten and often-dismissed SNES game that really deserves a second look.

They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.
You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.
Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!
Is a true gem. I remember this game fondly. For anyone that likes this game, you should really try to hunt down Soulblazer as well since Illusion of Gaia is a spiritual sequel to it.
I was just thinking about this game earlier today and now it's posted on N4G. I must find out what this hidden power of mine stems from and how to use it at will.
I just finished this game again :D
Recently replayed it, i'm still waiting for my "Illusion of Gaia: insert title" ...or... Illusion of Gaia 2.
Awesome game, Although its called Illusion of Time here in Europe.
I HAVE IT :P
