Raycrisis Review

Console : Playstation
Genre : Shooting/Arcade

A great shooting/arcade game from Taito, there are many different thing in Raycrisis than we can't find in the common shooting/arcade game. With awesome graphic, locking system and modern style indicator menu I think Raycrisis has successfully delivered it's best gameplay in the shooting/arcade games class. Enough for compliment, back to the topic! At first we play Raycrisis we can choose up to 3 available plane they are : WR-01, WR-02 and WR-03 (WR=Wing Raider). Each plane has it's own shooting and locking systems, WR-01 used regular shoot (just like in common arcade game) and laser for locking systems with 8 maximum lock on. WR-02 used laser shoot and lightning for locking systems with 16 maximum lock on. WR-03 used homing shoot and photon for locking systems with 32 maximum lock on. Also there's bonus plane like R-Grey 1 and R-Grey 2 if we successful finished some game in the special mode (I think... sorry a little forgot). In gameplay usually we will fight a regular enemy before reached boss, but from this point there are something different in raycrisis! If our enchantment systems are reach 100% (shown on top - right indicator) we will instantly sent to Boss Area whatever you ready or not. This is one of unique systems that Taito delivered in this Raycrisis game.

Digimon World 2 Review

Console : Playstation
Genre : Adventure/RPG

Prologue

Digimon world 2 stories beginning by yourself registered as new digimon tamer, a new tamer you will gained Digibeetle(a transportation to explore dungeon in this digimon wolrd series) and one digimon as your 1st partner. But before you got your partner, you must choose from 3 club which have it's own digimon type (there are 3 type: Vaccine,Data and Virus). After you choose one of them, you will get your 1st partner digimon and begin your own journey.

Gameplay

On gameplay we will spent all most of our time to go around in dungeon by Digibeetle to find boss, key item or capture new digimon to be our partner. But this dungeon is not place for easy- fooling-around, if you're reckless you will end up in losing energy or Digibeetle HP so you can't even reach the boss floor before fighting it. Also Digimon World 2 using turn/phase system as it's main battle system just like common another RPG games, but there aren't random battle encounter in this one. So you can just avoid enemies to escaped from some meaningless battle.

Grandia 3 Review

Console : Playstation 2
Genre : RPG

Prologue

Yuki is the main character in this games, he is boy who dreamed to flying in the sky by a plane. On some night while testing his plane design with his mother above the woods, some incident happened and accidentally he met with Alfina who want become communicator and looks for her big brother. Later both of them traveling together to find out what really happened to Alfina's big brother.

Gameplay

Grandia 3 stories can be considered a short stories, but this weak spot good covered by nice dilemma between character. On battle system, I think Grandia is still in top position than other RPG with it's great graphic and unique battle systems. Also there are new combo system called aerial combo and regular feature on Grandia like magic and skill customization. But be careful, in Grandia 3 difficulty is can be considered hard (I think). Beginner RPG player maybe will get stress out for trying to beats the last boss.
