here is some quotes

Assume the role of Ari, a young, innocent boy summoned to embark on a mythical quest. When Stan, the spirit of an evil king, is unleashed, Ari must relinquish his shadow to the demon and accompany him on a mission to destroy all the other demons in the world, thus restoring Stan\'s power. Players will find themselves entangled in a whirlwind of myths, legends and traditions as they make their way across brightly-colored landscapes, encountering whimsical characters and deciphering the mysterious clues and secrets buried deep beneath the world in which they live.

The tale of OKAGE: Shadow King takes place in a remote village called Tenel, where young Ari lives with his family. When a ghost attacks Ari\'s sister, his father unknowingly unleashes Stan, the spirit of a great evil demon, in a desperate attempt to protect his daughter. Stan agrees to save Ari\'s sister\'s life, but only on the condition that he can possess Ari\'s shadow, forcing Ari to become his slave. Once resurrected, however, Stan discovers that his powers are weak and he no longer has the ability to instill fear and terror in those he hopes to rule. When he learns that several other demons already inhabit the world of Tenel, Stan is convinced that they are the cause of his weakness and forces Ari to join him on a quest to purge the country of these imposters. Navigating as Ari, gamers will submerge themselves into this action-packed adventure, exploring breath-taking surroundings, encountering compelling characters and fighting fierce enemies during their magical journey.

OKAGE: Shadow King introduces a unique approach to traditional role-playing games through interesting, stylized visuals and characters and featuring dramatic real-time battle sequences in which allies and enemies fight simultaneously. In addition, gamers will discover hundreds of attacks, spells and weapons, and more than 150 items to collect during the adventure through lustrous towns and ominous dungeons. With its combination of immersive narrative, challenging gameplay, wonderfully animated characters and spectacular graphics, OKAGE: Shadow King will add a unique and exciting role-playing game to the PlayStation 2 catalog this fall.

I sorta figured that out on my own

I just got the game awhile ago. I played a bit. Damn the script is funny! All the NPCs have these funny quips! And the (Shadow) Evil King Stan...he\'s a hoot! You will love this character! Oh man!

People were aware of Ari\'s peculiar shadow...and found him rather nice. Of course, Evil King Stan couldn\'t stand being a "cute" shadow. Also, there are some situational comedy. Example :

A woman lost her hat to the wind, as it blew it up a tree. So Evil Stan wants to show his powers off to the "weak" humans. He said "Grovel before my stupendous evil power, you pityful humans!" And he stretches up and fetches the hat for the lady. Not knowing the good deed he\'s just done.

Here\'s one where one villager is telling the Shadow King(who\'m he\'s very fond of, BTW) that they\'re frightened by a lowly ghost.


And since I played only a bit, I didn\'t get to any combat so I have no opinion yet. So far, the controls are dead on, moves like Devil May Cry : depending on where the camera is, you point the stick to where Ari will move to.

The graphics? Oh.....my.....gosh. :nerd: Claymation graphics, anyone? But smoother moves. That\'s all I can say.

So far....this game is dripping with personality. I love it. And I played no more than 20 minutes.

Tomorrow, I\'ll have more to tell.

The only negative I\'ve heard from players is the loading time between rooms even if they are in the same building

You always have a 5 sec pause between rooms which gets annoying

5 seconds? Not mine. Less than that. But it\'s not instant, either, like Ico.
