Another winner from Level 5? I'd say so.,
By
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Rogue Galaxy (PS2) (Video Game)
Rogue Galaxy is a rather typically plotted RPG in which you play as Jaster Rogue, a boy living on a desert planet who dreams of heading into space who ends up falling in with a gang of space pirates and going on an adventure across the universe to find an ancient treasure. Nothing terribly original or exciting here, but the game itself more than makes up for the relatively unremarkable plot.
With some stunning looking visuals that are reminiscent of earlier Level 5 titles Dragon Quest VIII and Dark Chronicle, you explore lush, richly detailed worlds that are not only huge, but have practically no loading times at all to break up the action, which is a huge plus in a game like this, as you won't be waiting for the (sadly, random) battles to load up. The battles themselves are quite nice, played in a sort of Kingdom Hearts real time manner as opposed to turn based combat as you'd usually get in Japanese RPGs, they do get rather samey after a while, but the boss battles are usually quite nicely done and challenging with it if nothing else. It's a large, rewarding game that is a lot of fun to play through, with some interesting sub quests and diversions from the main plot to keep you going for up to 100 hours as promised on the box easy. If you like Level 5's prior games, you'll get a blast out of this. If not, you could still do a lot worse than get this.

Best of recent times...,
By Ruth "frenchruth" (FRANCE) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Rogue Galaxy (PS2) (Video Game)
Having played nearly every top rated RPG of recent years, I was expecting this to be just another title along the same vein, after all, it's difficult to be truely innovative in what is essentially a well-worn format.
However, I was pleasantly surprised, and not just because of the scope of the gameplay. Sure, it can get annoying retracing your steps in an attempt to level up or chase down enough beasts to fill you hunt log, but the envionments are well rendered and much more varied than other RPGs. The basic idea revolves around following checkpoints through dungeons to your ultimate goal, but whilst this may sound a bit monotonous (and sometimes is), there is a completely non-linear style to this title where you can break off play and focus on something else at any point you want. On that note, the "mini games" are completely immersive - training your own battle insects to fight in tournaments, creating items in your own factory (where you have to contruct your own factory line in a sims-esque manner) as well as a beast hunting sidequest similar to finanl fintasy 12(but no where near as large). As well as that you can fuse weapons together, track down each and every item to unlock abilities and create new weapons and generally have fun exploring massive areas and fighting a large variety of monsters. I'd say it's well worth the money, and it will easily soak up 60+ hours of playing time (over 100 if you try to complete everything).

Good Solid RPG.,

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Rogue Galaxy (PS2) (Video Game)
To summarise quickly this is a very typical level 5 game, although whilst playing it you get the feeling that the developers are trying to break away from their regular pattern of game. Not that this is a bad thing, this is a very playable addictive RPG. As usual with a level 5 game the graphics and action are brilliant, and the storyline whilst not being the strongest is perfectly passable.
Its nice that the developers seem to have listened to the bits of negative feedback received from Dark Chronicle, gone are the endless dungeons, all of which appeared to look the same, in their place there are huge landscapes to explore and walk through, without having to stop and slay every beast in your path, with much less repitition in the way of progressing through the dungeon stages the gameplay feels much less structured and much less dull. Its clear also that elements from both Final Fantasy XII and Skies of Arcadia (dreamcast/gamecube game, which is fantastic, along with plenty of elements retained from dark chronicle have been implemented into Rogue Galaxy, and work to great effect, without feeling like they have been completely ripped out of other games. The things I hear moaned about the most with regards to Rogue Galaxy, are that the graphics are too cute, the plot too thin, and the whole interface being too childish, where I can see where these sort of remarks are coming from, I am of the opinion that this is to be expected with a level 5 RPG, and so I have no problem with it. Rogue Galaxy is a solid, thoroughly playable RPG that will give you hours of entertainment, and offers as much or as little as you want it to. If you are a fan of Dark Chronicle then this is certainly something you will enjoy, if you are a fan of FFXII then this is certainly a title worth a look.
