Zelda ma + evoluto). Credo sia per Playstation ma me lo hanno dato su PC (non

Vabbè, ti riposto la mia risposta a Matthia ...
RPG's were not always popular in Europe and the US. In Japan, they're
mad for them but here in the
US and Europe they never really seemed to do well, sales wise, but
that all changed with FFVII and
now we find ourselves been flooded by RPG including the likes of
Alundra, Suikoden and Final
Fantasy Tactics. Along with these arrives Blaze & Blade: Eternal Quest
a, cute looking Japanese RPG
that aims to change the whole genre.
RPG's are usually one player games but in Blaze and Blade: Eternal
Quest you have the chance to
play with three friends via multi-tap. As you can imagine this
co-operative option is great fun and
makes the game a lot better. And hats off to Funsoft it's a good idea
which should have been used in
an RPG long ago.
The game is set in a fantasy world where the player or players take on
the role of a young band of
heroes to go about completing a series of difficult tasks. Unlike most
other Japanese RPG's, Blaze &
Blade has a fairly non-linear structure and the story isn't central to
the game. The most important
thing is the action. This takes place in a 3D world, with all the
characters and monsters displayed in
polygon form. Once everyone is ready, you begin at the Roadside Inn,
which forms the base camp
for your journeys into the monster ridden wilderness. For here you can
pick any from a number of
quests, with more becoming available as you progress. All combat,
magic and exploration takes
place on the 3D environment, there's no fancy combat screen like FFVII
in this.
It is a great idea but unfortunately it's not carried out well. For a
start, Blaze & Blade is hardly the
best looking PSX game ever and it's block visuals are rather
disappointing. The other problem is that
the single player mode is rather dull and frustrating. And the game
requires a lot of time to finish so
you'll never manage to finish it in multi-player mode. After all, it's
hard enough to get four average
gamers together, let alone, finish a rather complex game.
Overall, if you can get the friends together and you all have time
then this could be a good buy but
as a single player game, this is one to avoid.

                                              6/10 Hard to get grips
with.
 Graphics
                                              5/10 Blocky visuals are
a big disappointment.
 Control
                                              7/10  Easy and simple
which is good.
 Sound
                                              5/10  Not great.
 Value
                                              4/10  Good multi-player.
Crap single player
                                              game.
 Overall
                                              5/10 Just average. If
the single player game was
                                              better this would have
been a great game. 
Come vedi la recensione è riguardante la versione PSX.
Con gli opportuni adattamenti si può immaginare come potrebbe essere
la versione PC ( che è già uscita) , immagino che la possibilità
offerta di giocare in più
di una persona su una stessa macchina non ci sia,...
Se hai problemi con l'inglese fammi sapere.
