Superbuu3's First Impressions: Odin Sphere

Ok this game is effectively a sidescrolling RPG/Beat'em up/Shoot'em up Hybrid, fortunately its not the ugly bastard child you'd expect. This game isn't really an RPG it just tries to turn itself into one by reducing how many hits you can do in one go by addition of a horrible invention called the POW meter, which effectively prevents you from attacking too much as it makes you dizzy. Yes that is possibly the worst game device ever. Aside from that though the game is entertaining.

The game has a distinct unique look some may say this is great (i think its good but has something creepy about it must remind me of something), music is great.

You can play as five different characters, which appear to be unlocked in succession. The story is intriguing at the minute but having not played as many characters its hard to say if its great.

There are a few RPG elements you level up, you can make stuff through alchemy and find recipes to give to people to make you food. Effectively you level up cobat nad energy in two different ways, you level up energy by eating and combat stats through fighting and eating souls, they say phozons, but its blatently souls.

So overall if any of that interests you get it, I'll do a full review in time if people actually want one.

Played this for about 20 minutes and never picked it up again. Not that it was bad. I was just losing interest in the PS2.

The story will get confusing with each characters story. It's all part of one time-line and you will get confused.
