Ys: The Ark of Napishtim User Review

GothicWar

A old game with good charm and fun.

Difficulty:
Very Easy
Time Spent:
10 to 20 Hours
The Bottom Line:
"Just plain fun"
I loved this game when it first came out years ago on PS2, but it took me awhile to find it on psp with sadly it's original price tag. Now besides the price, this game is pretty good even though it's short. They did however rid the voice acting, special dungeon, and the 3D cut scenes, but this game does still hold some good value and fun times. They did switch the opening to the original anime scene which was nice, and you can later listen to the tracks and see the cut scenes once you get a certain item. The battle system is simple, but the bosses can be abit challenge until you learn it's weakness. The game is hard to come by these days, and there is one more game of the Y's series in japan that alot of people would love to come here, yet who knows when that might happen. The characters in this game are great, and the anime pictures of them are well done. I only wish this game was longer, and had more interesting pulling as this was a good game just so short. In short though this game is kinda worth the price, but you may choose to pass it up for other rpgs as they have more replay value and longer play time. I'd say if they brought the other psp Y's over here, it could get more poplar again.

  5. Aside from its horrific loading times, Ys is a solid RPG, deserving far more credit than it has received.
