Darkcloud ( my impressions )

finally beat the first dungeon...  The second area kicks... new dungeon graphics, and a new objective... very very interesting stuff, this game has just actually gone UP a few points for me... now : 92%

Thanks for the impressions guys,i just might have to pick this game up.

Anyone know the pal release date?

Whew, thanks Jigen, I was starting to get worried!  :{>

well i want to pick this game up but seeing as i am broke off my ass - i will have to wait till the next pay check comes around

I played it very briefly @ my EB. (for like 10 minutes) .. I really can\'t give an opinion on it,.. and I\'m reading your guys\' thoughts to help me decide whether to get it or not. I have too many games piling up and I\'m not sure if this one would get my attention.

- the trick is to keep breathing.

This game is very addictive.
I dont know if you guys have noticed my absence for a few days, but that is because this game has grabbed every spare second I have.
You would think this game would get repetitive, and the only times it does are around the lst floors of the dungeons.
The reason it doesnt get repetitive is because each time you get to a new set of dungeons the enemies completely change, and I dont mean change appearance but have the same techniques, everythig  changes from thier attacks to thier attack patterns, and then you always look forward to putting together the next set of houses and getting your treasure.
Right now Im in the shipwreck on the last Floor but I CANT FIGURE OUT WHAT TO PUT IN THE MUSIC BOX!
SOMEONE TELL ME!
Right now I have the Macho sword with 68 strength, 99 endurance, 99 speed, 54 magic.
Its pretty beastly.

...................................what?

I got it on thursday night couldnt play it till friday evening...Darn work............My dagger keeps breaking and loosing all my attributes.........those creatures take too much off...it is unfair! I either run out of repair potion or food first and then I\'m toast! how many times did it take guys to get through the first dungeon (out and back) i\'m up to 8 and i\'m in the limited Zone. those darn big mosters with shields.............and bats are annoying! my dagger is up to +4 and I havent even used my other one yet......is that a bad thing??????  overall an A+ The game is a little tough...but the building your own town is cool and the graphics are awesome. One glitch I have goind is the first duel I had a clipping problem or somehting like that. I died then it went away....Strange.....anyone else have that problem?

PSM magazine gave Dark Cloud a 6/10

Most mags or reviews say 7/10 - 8/10. All reviews have the game rated lower then Red Faction.

I\'m still hoping for some mind melting innovative RPG action. ALthough DC seems to have given it a shot from all I\'ve read it seems to have fallen short. I might give DC a rent.

After reading all of YOUR reviews I get the feeling the game is cool but not really Great

watch the intro and the beginning fmv........they are awesome!  really fluid!  the beginning FMV is about 5-10 minutes.

don\'t know if you\'re still stuck there but... try as hard as you can to get the store up and running so you can buy more than one health and repair poweder, after that though, the mayor will no longer give you free stuff... until then mabey just look around town, and take as much advantage of the mayor as you can...  Also, just so you know, don\'t think this game uses any FMV, all real time stuff... real nice...  BTW, I\'m up to the 4th town/dungeon now, a little more than half way through.  20 hours and this game still rocks.

I goofed.....I got the store but I am missing a lantern........I\'m thinking of starting over and getting my weapons upgraded earlier

Remember that repair powders and health can be a little expensive when you start though... so don\'t get it TOO early... just when you need it... also, don\'t ever continue after you die, if you die in a dungeon, reset the computer (until you get more chars) because if you restore back into town you\'ll lose half your $$$\'s

I did not know that, Thanks for the heads up!
