Ill be completely honest and say I have never heard of this game before my friend recomended it to me. He said its a bit like Final Fantasy, even though it is made by the same company Square Soft, but has a twist. When I lended it off him I asked how long it lasts and he said it could easily take up to 4 hours of gameplay. So I guess for people who are more into this genre would find this more easier.
Its a combination of action, adventure, fighting and rpg. The storyline isnt that good as what people might expect from this development company. Its all about these three bouncers at the Dog Street bar called 'Fate'. Their girl friend gets kidnapped by masked ninjas. One of the bouncers somehow knows where shes been taken, which is obvious when you get into the story how he knows all the info he tells us. So, the three bouncers decide to go and save her, the blonde haired is known as Volt, hes the butched hardman and comes very useful for information, then theres the puny one known as Sion which is the main character on the game that has a crush for the girl that has been kindapped, then finally Kou the long haired tatooed bodied guy that says most of the jokes. They soon find out why the girl is needed and soon they realize they must save the world as well as the girl.
The game is very cinematic, in fact most of the game relies on cutscenes. Theres only about 20 short missions to complete, before and after are long cutscenes, which would help if the dialogue is good but it just aint. The jokes are corny that makes you cringe, the voice acting is decent than the rest I mentioned but still could of used some work.
The graphics are much different in the FMV sequences, they are truly amazing to watch. The ingame sequences are just the same as the playable sequences which are good, better than some games I have played that year when it came out, but you cant interact with environments and some portions of the objects look blurry and not much detail put in than what other portions have.
Basically its a beat em up, which you can collect points for beating the hell into the bad guys which you can buy life ups, power etc at the menu at the end of each fight. Most of the time theres 3 of you fighting, which has a cool-style for even though you can only play one at the time. At the beginning of each fight, fights can have more than 6 enemies coming out at you and are in a large environment, you can choose from the 3 characters. They each have their own story plots which is good to replay the game again three times, but after that its not worthy anymore.
