| Its certainly been a good time to be a role playing fan |
| with a PS2, soaking up the graphics and game in Xenosaga |
| and Dark Cloud 2 and then mercilessly comparing it to that |
| well-endowed cinematic juggernaut, Final Fantasy X. |
| An unfortunate side effect of the movie-sized production in |
| these marquee titles is that other quality RPGs get swallowed |
| by their wake. |
| |
| Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits is one of these |
| less-publicized but still quality RPGs from developer |
| Cattle Call, Inc. While not quite the production masterpiece |
| of the aforementioned big-name games, Arc does all the |
| expected questing, character development, and story exposition |
| right. It then trumps the other games with its dynamic combat |
| system that has an interesting tactical side. |
| |
| Set thousands of years after the events in the original |
| Arc the Lad series, this new Arc finds the world divided |
| between two races, the humans and the monstrous Deimos. |
| These two races do not get along - a conflict compounded by the |
| fact that both races need Spirit Stones to continue their way |
| of life. Its in this conflict that the two main characters, |
| the deimos Darc and the human Kharg, discover their biggie-sized |
| destinies. The storys parallels to real life resource/territory |
| conflicts are certainly there, but never overtly stated. |
| Arc is content instead to be a fantasy adventure story with |
| that requisite melodramatic sincerity and high-minded morality |
| that RPG fans will appreciate. |
| |
| Players alternate controlling Kharg and Darc and their |
| respective parties as they seek out the five Great Spirit Stones |
| that will lend one of them Ultimate Power. Playing from both |
| sides of the conflict is one of the games great strengths |
| - its best moment in fact comes when Darc and Kharg finally |
| have a showdown. Players will find 14 different characters |
| throughout the story to control in the unique movement-based |
| combat system that makes the standoffs in other console RPGs |
| seem stiff. Aside from the combat, Arc has the usual elements of |
| character development, exploration, evil/misunderstood empires, |
| and - yes indeed - airships. The story unfolds in nice-looking |
| cut scenes with dialogue presented mostly in text, |
| but occasionally with full voice-overs. |

| 1 useless demo movie caught on fire so he had to run so he didn't |
| have time to make his come back :-| Some background music's |
| tryed to save him but also they got hit by the fire, so they are |
| all in heaven now, but the older brothers and sisters did |
| replaced them and were relinked |
| The told me you wouldn't notice that we are relinked... :-) |
| |
| Lastly we decided to include a cool new P/N selector with 20+ |
| trainer options, be sure to check it out :-) oh and for the |
| very smart people we included a hidden part into the intro... |
| so try to find it..... |
