Folklore

gets my wrist sore flicking the controller back and forth, will kinda keep you in shape lol

I was expecting more of this game. Like one of the other reviewers mentions there is about 90% of the story presented in a kind of comic book style in the cut scenes, which is really disappointing for a PS3 game. Were they too cheap to animate and hire voice actors for all the cut scenes?? I did play the game through to the end (hence the 3 stars), so I got my money's worth from it but I won't ever play it again. If you are a RPG player then I think you will find this game a little weak. It's no where near the standard of a Final Fantasy game (not even close)!

The visuals in this game are stunning. It makes you to pause the gameplay for a while and admire the environment. The gameplay itself is a bit slow paced, but it depends on whether you want to release all the karmas or whether you want to collect all the special items. It's a neat game with very smooth graphics. I played it on an HDTV capable of giving maximum output. The storyline itself may seem somewhat boring. The enemies are not hard to beat, but they tend to be repetitive.

Overall, if you want a lot of hours of gameplay, want to see awesome visuals, excellent music, and a cool game, this is for you. Slasher fans will not like this game. The replay value is also more because you can play the game with multiple characters. A good game to show-off your PS3 to your friends. I found this game to have a lot of similarities with the Final Fantasy series in which you defeat the enemies using magic powers, attacks, and the like.

It's a slow game, but gets addictive as you go along. Definitely a must buy for the PS3.

one of the games for PS3 which have a very nice game play.
This game truly brings out the capabilities of playstation 3 system.
Nice keep.

The visuals presented in the game are stunning, but gameplay itself is (in typical Sony style) boring, repetitive, and extremely maddening. Most of the actual game is composed of a few simple actions: 1) take 10 steps, 2) bump into someone, 3) watch a quote slowly scroll onto the screen, 4) click a button to watch the other side of the conversiom, repeat 3 and 4 ad nauseum until the "conversion" is finished, then repeat 1 through 4 for each other person along the path. When you finally finish the boring conversations, take 10 more steps to bump into something to kill, click like mad to figure out how to kill or be killed, rinse and repeat.

The other thing I do not like about this game is that the game has to be completed in stages before it allows you save your progress. This is maddening because I find the game presents various "monsters" throughout each stage that are relatively easy to defeat, but the last one in the stage is usually much more difficult and requires several attempts to figure out. Unfortunately, the obligatory death in the last scene requires one to start over at the beginning and this eventually becomes extremely repetitive, boring, and frustrating.

Sony has a fairly decent gaming platform in the PlayStation 3, but Sony continues the same lame strategy in every game it produces so I use my PlayStation 3 exclusively to play music and movies.
