Not too long ago, there was a game for the Playstation 2 called Brave: The Search for Spirit Dancer that was not too bad. Brave: A Warrior's Tale revisits the story of Brave, only 70 years later with Brave retelling stories of when he was younger.
Brave: A Warrior's Tale is about a young Native American boy named Brave who becomes a Shaman to save his tribe from an evil spirit. The action/adventure game features simple puzzles, some tricky jumps and lots of combat. Brave can not only use his tomahawk and longbow to fight, he can also transform into animals at certain parts of the game and gain new attacks and abilities. For example, as a bear, Brave can attack foes with paw swipes or eat enemies whole.

Lawrence Sonntag writes that "most aspects of the game aren't what a gaming enthusiast would consider good, or even adequate. The important thing to realize is that Brave just isn't for them, and conversely, neither is this review. This review is for parents who can hardly finish reading this paragraph because their child is wailing in the background, and quite possibly about to throw a pudding cup at the monitor. That parent will want to know if Brave will keep the little bast- err... bundle of love quiet long enough to justify the game's $30 price. Unfortunately, several factors prevent Brave from earning this blanket recommendation."
Hmmm, I really enjoyed this review and as I got to the end, braced myself for the 2/10 that was surely coming. 4/10 suggests a game which is slightly below average.
GameKult: After a first pass on PlayStation 2 in 2005, it was thought that the little Indian Brave had learned from his failures and does not embark on a new adventure after having wisely questioned.
