Lost Odyssey


This game tells the story of Kaim, an immortal of more than 1000 years has lost his memory. In the early stages of the game we will be immersed in a battle of epic proportions. Two sides fight fiercely until Kaim makes its appearance, which resembles Sauron in LOTR, eliminating dozens of enemies with a two-handed blow. After defeating a huge war machine, something like a meteorite fall from the sky, turning the battlefield into a river of lava that devours everything in its path, eliminating the two sides equally. Miraculously, Kaim is the only survivor, but has lost his memory ...

The gameplay is very reminiscent of the Final Fantasy series (in its previous editions): static scenarios for which we walk the game besides combat mode in real time, turn-based combat, etc. A peculiarity in the fighting are the rings, when you melee attack, you see a ring on the enemy, and if you press the right trigger another ring appears on the first closing. If you can match them at the right time, will greatly improve the offense. Here, instead of inserting material into the grooves, we can do is to make rings with materials, other than "linker" skills of fellow mortals.

Rappelz


A couple of years since I played, but did reset on the server where I played, and decided not to start again. However, after many tests with various MMPORPGs (free and paid, such as Wow, War hammer Online, Lineage 2, Perfect World, Ragnarok Online, Last Chaos, Silk road, and overall I think the list reaches 20 different titles) I've reinstalled, and in three days and I have a Gaia fighter level 30 (will be an archer soon ^ ^), and why I have not spent more than 2 hours a day. This for a guy with so little free time I mean I've caught with enough desire ^ ^.

At first the game is the typical kill-kill. Missions, hundreds of bugs to kill, to get equipment, etc. But Rappelz has that "something" is lacking in other games. For example, in WoW, when you get to 80 and have your team "Tier", you do not know what to do. The same in Warhammer Online (only that this situation happens even before in WoW), RO, and all others (except the EVE Online, of course XD). In contrast, in Rappelz there are always things to do but of course to level up and get better equipment. There are always events, hilarious Bosses to kill etc. I do not know, is "something" which I personally like it, maybe it's the setting, the game system, do not know...

It is definitely a game worth trying if you like this style of game. Graphically it is quite good, although I must say that the graphics engine will be rendered obsolete. The music is cool, but when you farmed for a while in the same area is repetitive (this happens at all XD), and the game play is pretty good.

Prince of Persia


As I saw it advertised I knew I had to be mine. A price of Persia comic style graphics engine to the Xbox 360 has to be good to force, I thought.
The truth is that history is great, although it does not "catch" the player enough or at least not as much as previous releases of this title for PS2. The graphics are good, but repetitive and the soundtrack leaves a little to be desired, as is also repetitive, as well as its game play.
After an hour of play you just realizing that you are playing an arcade game that is half platforms and bored with the same thing. Yet I've had, but it is quite linear up to where I ... style mazes to get Tomb Raider to a final boss stage, you kill him (and this is the only time when you fight ... is like Final Fantasy, it seems that "sales" mode to enter game mode combat), purify the field and by the following.
Honestly, I was disappointed. The game play and the fun are dreadful, but the story is good. Compared with its predecessors, is at the height of the bitumen.
