The Playstation 2 has had a heck of a 7 year run, and at the end we're still seeing amazing titles released for it. Many gamers might ignore Odin Sphere just based on its J-RPG roots and cutesy art style. To do so would be a huge mistake. Vanillaware and Atlus have teamed up to make one of the most enjoyable, unique, and visually appealing titles the veteran PS2 has ever seen. With a brawler foundation and borrowing from several other gameplay styles, Odin Sphere should appeal to old-school gamers, RPG fans, and even button-mashers alike. Do yourself a favor and pick up Odin Sphere before it becomes the rare cult classic it's destined to be.
I have to admit i only played the game for about an hour, but i was very disappointed. I had spent good money on the title based on the many great reviews it had gotten, but it just didn't make me feel it was worth my time.
The graphics are good, and the backgrounds are very well painted, but the gameplay feels like it just came out of the snes.
Really old school stuff, but in a negative way. The battles were so basic and uninspired it made me wonder if it was the best its developers could come up with.
Plus, i didn't get to see it through, but the beginning of the story felt like a bad anime.
Odin Sphere offers 2D Game play but it is repetative and can get annoying. although looking good there are a few good aspects to the game but overall no... you can run in a circle so the levels are time looped and the levels can be completed in 1 minute ( I have done this).
Odin Sphere has some of the best drawn characters around. The bosses such as Dragons look amazing and the scenes are drawn to great accuracy. The cut scenes are great and the story line is fun to follow.
The main down side is the fighting as you only have one attack which is used repeatedly. You are able to cook potions which adds to it alittle but the attacks leave you open to enemies. The maps are 2D and go round in circles which too can be a little dull.
Overall though this game is a great play through and offers something different to RPGs.
