Arc the Lad Collection

"All these items are worth the cost!!"

This game was really popular in Japan, but too bad in did not come out in North America. But Working Design did something so different that they brought the Arc the Lad series to North America its just too bad that they delayed the game so long but it finally came out and was it really worth the wait?? Of course it is not only did they Translated both Arc I II and II but they also give Arc Arena: Monster Tournament,and also the making of Arc The Lad even if you weren't not pleased with that it also came with lots of extras like the the thumb buttons that you put on your Dual Shock controller, the memory card holder, the mini-character standees plus if you pre-order it, you get the arc the lad watch with it which too me i think its pretty awesome but too bad my was broke from the store so they said there are going to get me a new one.

Story
In part one the story takes place about a young man named Arc, who has to find out what had happen to his father 10 years ago. And in part two of arc the lad, it tells the story off Elc who is a bounty hunter but the story keeps going on but i dont want to spoil it too you. Also in Part 3 the story is about Alec, who had his village destroyed but he was saved by a strangers and it goes on.

Gameplay
This game is a strategy/RPG game which in the battles are like Final Fantasy Tactics or Shinning Force games so if your familiar with that game than you know what's this game plays like. Also the graphics are good since Arc the Lad game first came out in 1995 so that was a very long time ago.

So, is this game worth getting well it's sure it just ask anybody at the boards most of them say it was worth waiting for this game to come out in North America. And some people love the many extras that come with this Package. I paid like 120 canadian dollars but I love this game and I'm never going to sell it. With so many stuff you get in the package it would take you a very loong time to pass and even you get the watch if you pre-orderd it.
