Now, those of you that have read my Legend of Legaia review, know that I love the game. So obviously, I was one fo the first to rush out and buy Duel saga. As soon as I got home, I put the game into my PS2, dimmed the lights, and flipped the switch.
As soon as I heard the soothing music from LoL 1, I knew this would be a great game. I looked at the graphics, and was astonished at the difference.
Soon, I started the game, played for an hour or two to see if the story would be any good, it was so-so. I ate, and returned to my game for several hours more. I was horrified. Here is the story behind Legaia 2.
Story: It starts out much like a normall RPG. The main character, Lang, goes about a normal routine. The next day, after you learn the basics of fighting, a 'golden eyed stranger' kills someone, and takes the crystal that suuplies your village's life. You fight him, lose, and wake up in bed. You soon leave to find him, and be the hero of your village. Eventually, you learn about your special powers, and about how you and the main evil villain are "star shapers". Overall, I give the story a 6/10. There a few plot twists, but thats it.
Characters: I give this a flat 5/10. These are classic heros/villains, nothing new.
Graphics: Not bad, but not spectacular. I give this a 7/10
Sounds:Classic music from LoL, and a few new music peices as well. The music alone deserves 10/10, but the voice overs suck. That brings the sound to 6/10.
Gameplay:The same as LoL basically. Up, down, right, and left. Nothing new.7/10
Concept:Take people that loved LoL and make them look like suckers with a crappy game that takes place of what was a great RPG.0/10
Overall:I would like to giev this game an ok 6/10, but I cant. The overall score it is, is 4.3/10.
If you want a game as great as LoL, then beg for a remake with more characters and more sidquests and crap like that.
