Under the Hype

[Marik]

This is a new segment I wanna start. This is where we talk about a game that was very good, but was never reconized fully cause it was never hyped up.

This Game: LaPucelle Tactics
Produced by: Mastiff
Developed by: NIS Software
Console: PlayStation 2
Current Price: $19.99 Retail, if you can find it.

Whyis it great: This is the best Tactical RPG ever. It's a grid based battlefield where you move and get close to the enemy and when you get close to attack, you go to a battlefield and do a 1 turn turnbased fight. Now what makes it cool is that it looks oldfashioned with sprites but the backgrounds are beautiful anime scenes that look extremely crisp. There is voicework and its perfectly done. It has a cute main character, Prier, her dorky lil' brother Culotte, a fellow sister from the Church of the Holy Maiden, Allouette and a very badass guy named Croix. Like any other RPG you get more characters in the game, but whats so cool about this one is that you can Purify enemies and they go to your side! It mixed Pokemon in it a little too. It has its gameplay length too I put 25 hours to beat and theres still more. Plus if you're determined to kick the hell out of a game, this game has this dungeon that have the strongest enemies and you can level up to LEVEL 9999. I beat the game with Prier on Lv. 65 and the others on Lv. 40.

I saw this game before! I was going to buy it, but back then it was 50$

Wow I totally forgot about this. Oh yea, there is a better tactal out there and it's Disgaea.

Next game(when I think of it): I'll modify when I think of one.

Ok Instead of giving a lengthly review, I'll give throw out a title I recently played and talk about it in only a few sentences:

Game: Gotcha Force
System: GameCube
Produced By: Capcom

Capcom released a lot for the GameCube in 2003, but one game totally fell under everyone's eyes when Capcom released Viewtiful Joe, Resident Evil 2, 3, Code Veronica X and P.N. 03 all for the GameCube in that year, and that game's Gotcha Force. Basically to be blunt, Gotcha Force basically is a robot version of Pokemon, but instead of an RPG, it's a crazy brawler. Noiw this is a kids game only, at least it's what the producer said cause there's too many mature titles out there. Rent it if they still have it cause it might be too much craziness on screen to figure out what the hell's going on. But I do recommend just trying it.

Hmm.. yeah. that one must have fell under the radar cause i didn't even hear about it at the time. still haven't tried though.

(i know. this is an old thread but i'm posting to try to liven up some of the threads here)
