Developer: Game Republic Publisher: SCEA Release Date: September 20, 2005 Platforms: PS2 JustRPG Score: 73% Pros: +Great terrain effects. +Easy to learn combat system. +Fun hack and slash game play. Cons: -Repetitive. -Characters don’t learn new abilities. -Only two attack buttons. |
Genji: Dawn of the Samurai Overview
Genji: Dawn of the Samurai for the Sony Playstation 2 is an action adventure role playing game set in feudal Japan. The main character collects energy throughout the game to help improve their characters. The player also gains levels which increase the health damage and defense of their hero. The game has lovely visuals and even the random enemies you encounter obviously had a lot of time put into their character models. Where the game suffers is in the combat department. There are only two attack buttons and your character never learns any other moves. Overall the game is pretty entertaining and worth playing if you are looking for an absent minded afternoon.

Developer: Midway San Diego Publisher: Midway Release Date: December 12, 2005 Platforms: PS2, Xbox JustRPG Score: 75% Pros: +Easy to learn combat system. +Combos are satisfying. +Fun multiplayer. Cons: -Poor story line. -No character customizations allowed. -No shops to purchase items. |

Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows is an action adventure role playing game that was the sequel to Gauntlet: Legends. In this version of the game there are no hidden characters to unlock, no central town where players can upgrade or purchase items, and no character customizations at all. Other than those complaints this is your standard hack and slash role playing game much like the previous Gauntlet games in the franchise. The multiplayer mode can be pretty fun, but once you and your friends beat it once its pretty much over and you probably wont play it again.

The story also was not very engaging and missions quickly became a chore for most players. Finally the developers promised more in depth multiplayer which was simply never delivered upon.

Field Commander for the Sony Playstation Portable is a turn based strategy tactics role playing game that has a realistic, modern setting. The game supports local multiplayer, and something called transmission mode, which is very similar to the old school play by email system. The game is a near clone of Advance Wars for the Nintendo GameBoy Advance, therefore lacks in originality. The only real difference between the two games is that in Field Commander you can destroy terrain and use the transmission mode, otherwise the game is just a re-skinned Advance Wars.
