I can't wait until they come out with a second installment for this game, you never know they might announce it at E3 like they did for MAG last year.

Wasn't bad though I hated the knocked down animation...just way too clumsy and I loved the music. I do recommend...

Moreso than Metal Gear Solid 4, moreso than even Valkyria Chronicles, this is the game that really makes me think, "DAMN, I wish I had a PS3."

I think it mostly has to do with the time it was released and the genre. By the time I got my PS3 (two Christmas' ago) it had been out for a few months. And since it was a new IP that I didn't know much about, choosing it over the many other games that I had to catch up on would have been a tough choice to make.

I still want to play the full game someday because I loved the demo.

and have been meaning to get this game, but whenever I'm out, I always forget to look for it. When I go to pick up inFamous tomorrow, I'll be on the look out for it. Hope I can find it for a decent price.

I 100% agree, got the game could only find it used sadly and would have to say it's one of those great games that are best played at night (at least for me) playing in the daytime just doesn't have the same effect for some reason, (perhaps the atmosphere of the game?)

I played Keat all the way and had to stopped and go back to ellen, that sort of ruined the experience a bit for me IMO. I think i am re-doing everything twice since you 'have' to play both character through the same realm eventhough there were differences in the creatures for you to catch.

But I did manage to finish the game; I guess I sort of made it very repetitive for myself trying to find all the monsters; alot of them I don't ever use after trasversing that realm. T_T

Anyways, it was not a bad game, i give it probably 7.5-8.0 out of 10. Which is pretty high already; Valkria Chronicle would be a 9.0 for me though. With the DLC's VC probably approaching a 9.5 (if those DCL's were included as Unlockables on disc,it would definately have been a 9.5 IMO).

A 10...would be like Final Fantasy Tactics or Castlevania Syphony of hte Night on the first play through to put things in perspective for anyone out there who is still on the fence on this game.

I got it online for 25 dollars (with shipping and everything included); So at that price, I think everyone should check out this game, it was the Very First RPG to come on the USA for the PS3.

is an excellent PS3 exclusive, and one of my first PS3 games. It was a day 1 purchase for me, and it still makes the best use of motion control on the PS3 if you ask me (Lair did a pretty good job too). The game looks and plays great, has some beautiful FMVs, and features a rather interesting story. If you own a PS3, there's no reason not to play this game! :)

Folklore is an amazing game. The implementation of the sixaxis controls are pretty cool. I think reviewers were in fact really unfair with this amazing title.

and it's such an underappreciated title.

the visual design, music, characters, and gameplay are top notch. the story is surprisingly good, even though it does have a predictably anime ending.

it's a shame it released during the year of unbelievably insane Playstation 3 hate. games like Motorstorm, Resistance, Folklore, Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, and Ratchet and Clank never received the credit they deserved for being fun, enjoyable games. Uncharted was the ONLY one that people didn't really seem to have a problem with, and while that game is brilliant also, the others i mentioned really represented the PS3 well in it's first year. instead, the media (and many a gamer) focused on games like Lair and Haze, as if they were the ONLY Playstation 3 games out, and also as if there had never been games that failed to live up to their hype (on a side note - Haze had hype? HAZE?? really?).

the majority of the year one PS3 exclusives were really good. Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Resistance, Motorstorm, Virtua Fighter 5, Folklore, Ratchet and Clank Future, Heavenly Sword, Eye of Judgment, Uncharted, and Unreal Tournament 3 were all REALLY GOOD games, and as far as a year one library goes, it's very impressive. it's only gotten BETTER since then.

anyway, Folklore rocks, and it's pretty cheap these days. i highly recommend it.

i bought it because i badly wanted a game with a different and a good story. story is just too good. this is one of those games where you put 10 hrs a day and spend the same the following days.

i really felt good while playing it, kind of made me realise why i am still a gamer. Heavenly Sword and Warhawk are the other two games which are must haves. the game is a stellar! dont miss it guys!

This game was hard to find for a while, but at a wal-mart near me they now have it in the bargain bin for $20, with lots of stock it looks like too. I picked mine up last week but have yet to play it (still addicted to Sacred 2 for the moment).

Oh and BTW, speaking of cheap games, I found a copy of the new Leisure suit Larry used for $10, and trust me, it was $10 too much.

The sound is great, the story is fantastic and full of surprises (who finished it can know that) and one of the best games that use the Sixaxis, it was great when you had to get the folks pulling the controller toward you like if you really had to "pull" out the soul from the folk.
The only problem was a bit of low framerate when there were too many things on the screen, but only in some parts, not so many (and it wasn't annoying at all).
A must buy, for those ppl who like fantasy stories, collecting things and secrets + RPG elements.

Too_Hyped - 181 days 20 hours ago

One of the most underrated games ever. I got it as a gift from Sony, it was just great in graphics and gameplay.

It was released among the first PS3 exclusives and at that time it was 'cool' to hate on the PS3, hence sales and reviews were subpar.

It's still one of the most beautiful, colorful and engaging games this gen.

It suffered a lot from being poorly translated from japanese, though. Cutscenes are not on par with gameplay and presentation, but in my opinion that's not a major default.

Buy this gem, especially if you're into action / RPG.

One of my favorite PS3 games. For sure. It's an utterly beautiful game, with great music and an addictive quality like Pokemon to a certain degree. Good story, good characters, and really excellent use of motion controls.

it's a good game.. check out the demo and see for yourself

this game was a victim of the media bias in 2007.. should be rated 85+.. it was a unique game, no other game like it, and it was a good looking one too
