Title: New Dark Cloud Pics

This was once one of the PlayStation 2\'s most highly anticipated games, but since Dark Cloud\'s Japanese release the hype for the game has lessened. It\'s not that there were any negative reviews of the import version, but there were just so very few people that could really report on it in this country given the whole language barrier.
Regardless, Dark Cloud is still one of the upper tier games coming to PlayStation 2 and should be really high on any RPG fan\'s list. It\'s not a Zelda-killer, but rather a really good action/RPG with cool world building elements and some very pretty visuals. But, if you\'ve already read our preview, you\'ll already know that.

As part of the company\'s E3 assets disc, Sony included eight new and extremely lovely high-resolution screenshots of one of its biggest mid-year releases. Dark Cloud is currently scheduled to ship in just under two weeks on May 29, 2001 in North America.

I don\'t know, Billy-I think it looks okay.

and I\'m sure the game will be smoother than the pic\'s may suggest.

at least I hope so...

Im defiantly getting this game.
Even if the graphics arnt the greatest, Im buying a game to play, not to look at.
If I wanted something to look at, Id buy a painting.

I didn\'t get the best pics. I piced them by random. Copied pic url from First pic then just changed the number 1 to a four or five or 11 or whatever.

The game still doesn\'t impress me that much.. seems VERY kiddy-ish and the dialogue looks HORRIBLE.

   I admit those were bad screen captures... but it seems like every pic of these game is a bad screen capture..

   I guess I will just wait till the reviews pour in...

From the footage i\'ve seen of this game on PSW the graphics are very good, better than what them screenshots show. They are however a bit bland.
