DARK CLOUD

"Dark Cloud is a game like no other. It combines elements of an action adventure, role-playing and even a scaled down sim-type town building system. Sure there have been a few RPGs released for the PS2, but nothing has yet come close to this amazing and absorbing game."

Autumn Bill  "It's A Nice Game But I Found It To Be Challenging--i Have Weak Weapons In The Final Area But That's Just Me. I Highly Enjoyed This Game's Systems And Play It To This Day.

But I Think 6 Player Characters Is A Little Much To Handle,that's Why My Weapons Are So Weak. The Music Is Very Catchy In My Opinion,too. One Of The Best Games I've Played,one Of Them"

Samantha Morgan  "I Borrowed This Game From My Best Friend After Watching Her Playing It For 3 Hours. I Played It And Loved It. I Enjoy Building My Weapons And Rebuilding My Town. Its Exciting When I Find A New Sphere And Go To See What It Is. The Only Down Side To This Game Is You Can't Jump Or Do More Maneuvers, Which When I Think About It, That Just Makes It More Challenging. That Also Goes For Running Out Of Water And Your Weapons Breaking. I Think That Just Makes It All The More Interesting Because You Have To Worry About That. I Am Thankful For The Default Weapon Though. I Give This Game A 9 Out Of 10!"

Brendan Jenah  "This Game Is Probably One Of The Best I've Ever Played. It Brings Qualities That I Cannot Find On Any Other Game, Being An Rpg And Experimenting With Platform-like Characteristics As Well. The Best Part (to Me) Is The Way You Are Able To Build And Set Up Towns As You You Advance In The Game. I Would Recommend It For Everyone Seeking Something To Do For Time-occupying Fun."

Tim Mcguigan  "This Game Is Boring! I Borrowed It Thinking It Would Be Like Zelda But It Isn't Its Just Bad. They Try And Make It Realistic By Breaking Your Sword And Running Out Of Water But This Just Gets On Your Nerves. The Only Thing I Like About The Game Is Rebuilding Your Town. The Graphics Are Average But I Would Expect More From Ps2."

Massaki  "This Game Is One Of The Good Games I Got... It Is Really Great... The Storyline Was Good But It Sucks A Bit... The Weapons Are Well Made.. Durability... It Is Good Enough... Graphics Are Great.. The Game Would Be Better If They Could Talk... The Sound It Is Also Good... But Some Of Them It Really Sucks... I Liked The Way How The Weapons Are Upgraded And... The Game It Self Has Some Hard Things To Do... Overall: The Game Is Quite Good... And Could Be Better..."

Timothy Hansmann  "This Game Is Good At The Beginning, But The Story Line Wasn't That Good. If You Don't Get A Character's Weapon Maxed Out, Then It Might Be A Little More Entertaining. I Had Xiao's (i Forgot How To Spell It) Ultimate Weapon By At Least The 4th Area. Good Idea Of Fighting Though."

Rdeezy  "This Game Is Horrible!! After Playing It For An Hour, I Realized There Was Nothing Innovative About This Game Whatsoever. It Is The Same Thing Over And Over Again. At Least For Zelda 64 There Was A Little Variety. This Game Sucks. Dont Buy It"

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Mike Capozzi (speeddemon)  "I Thought This Was A Great Game. It Had Very Good Graphics, The Sound Was Great And The Playability Was Awsome. But The Lastability Was Not So Great This Game Was Fun The First Time Through But It Would Be Kinda Boring If You Were To Replay It. It Kept Me Entertained But By The End Of The Game I Was Ready To Finish It. I Like How In This Game You Can Build Your Towns The Way You Want To And Recieve Good Items For Making The People Of The Town Happy. The Fighting In This Game Was Very Good Although It Did Seem Like Zelda For N64. All In All This Was A Great Game And I Would Recomend It To Anybody Who Has A Ps2 And Likes Rpgs."

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Scott Mather(kuma)  "Dark Cloud Is An Exciting Action Rpg For The Ps2 Set In An Enormous World That You Have To Save From Destruction And As A Bonus For Saving It You Get To Decide How Its Rebuilt, Cool Eh? Dark Cloud Is An Enormous Game Which Will Provide Fifty Plus Hours For You To Finish It. It Combines Great Elements Of Graphics And Gameplay Although I Found The Sound To Be Repetitive And Boring But You Can Easily Stick A Music Cd On Over That.

The Game Boasts Some Great Features That Have Roved Successful In Othr Rpg's Particularly Weapons And Magic That Have Been Greatly Influenced By Final Fantasy And Zelda. The Wide Variety Of Characters In The Game Brightens The Game Up And Offers Hours Of Amusements, So If Youre An Rpg Fan Then This Is An Essential Buy For The Ps2."

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Phil [mengsk}  "Dark cloud Is A Great Game That Every Ps2 Owner Should Play. Darkcloud Is Zelda For Ps2 Only With Extra Abilities. Once You Get The Hang Of This Game It Seems To Easy.

The Game Seems A little Too Life Like With The Need To Get Water, Food For Health, You Need To Repair Your Weapons, Plus The Times Of Day Change!

I Suggest That No Playstation 2 Owner Should Pass This Game Up."
