Anybody here played this? Saw it on another forum and was wondering if anybody here had any opinion on it? The views there were pretty positive.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

I've considered it a few times. But, the word Action RPG keeps getting thrown around, so I fear it will lack depth of storyline and play out more like an arcade sidescroller.

It has a Norsey-themed storyline, and the art is the sort of French fantasy/anime blend that I tend to enjoy (see Confrontation/Cadwallon). The 2D/3D execution is very well done and it's a great looking PS2 game. The gameplay was pretty fun for the short while that I played it.

Why did you stop playing it?
