"Lunar Silver Star Story One of the Greatest RPG's Ever?"

Lunar The Silver Star Story Complete one of the greatest RPG's ever? Well it is this is a great game th e goes beond your expectations!

Gameplay:I give the game play section a 10. This is one of the great qualties about this game. It features a vary interesting type of battel system that is vary easy to use. The battle system also has a great feture called the AI. The "AI" option comes in vary handy if your not a avid RPG player. What the "AI" Button does is if your in a battle and you really don't feal like you want to take all the time and select all of the other optios the all you have to do is push the "AI" button and the computer tells the charicers what to do.

Story: I give the story a 11 out of 10 it is just great. The story takes place in the world of Lunar where you join young Alex a, great adventurer, as he begins a quest with his friends to save there land from the crushing advance of the Magic Emperor. Anouther really great fact about the stary is that it comes to life as you play it. What i mean is that whell you are playing you will come aponnearly a hour of incredible animation sequences that will get you involved in the inthe story faster than you ever thought possible. Get ready for the ride of your life............

Audio/Video:I will have to give this section a 9 . The Music for the game is just great. working designs who made the game actuly wrote to full songs for the game that are just wonder full. One of the songs they did is soung by the heroine Luna while they are on the boat. Thay made this song into one of the animation scens for the game and it actully lasts for about 2 min. I wish i could say the same thing for the Garphics but i can't. this is where the game looses part of its rating. The graphics are 32-bit which is like the old school GPR graphics which is not that bad at all. Most RPG gamers will bye the game on the story and the game play though. So if your not bothered by the graphics (wich really are not that bad at all) it will be a must have.

Replayability:I give this section a 10. You really want ot play this game over agin because it is so fun and interesting, and you want ot play it agin to get all of the little extra's you might have forgotten. Some people actuly alot of people do not fully ubderstand the story the first time through so they really want to play the game agin and also if your like me you want to play it over agin for all of the above reasons and beacuse you just want to see those great animation sequences all over agin.

To rent or buy?:You should deffinatly buy this game because of the great replayability. Anouther reason to bye is because of thr packeging. Included with the game is :2 game cds, 1 music cd witch has the great 2 full songs that are sung, 1 exclusive "making of LUNAR" cd! Also a , 100+ page leatherette hardbound artbook/instruction manual, and a excerpt from the official strategy guide, and a full-color cloth map!

Over all: I give this game a 10 for absualutlly great gameplay and a wonderfull story. This game is a must have for all RPG fan and nonRPG fan it is just wonderfull.
