Vagrant Story (2000 Video Game)
10/10
AN EXPERIENCE
13 November 2000
To say this is a master-peice doesnt do it justice. This is one of those games that only comes along every now and then. If you have played final fantasy on the playstation you will have a rough idea of what to expect, VERY ROUGH. While FF took alot of brain power rather then skill, VAGRANT STORY lets you choose wheather you are to become a mighty barbarian or a magical wizard. The fighting system is inspired, similar to Final Fantasy 8 you must make "links"to each strike of your sword/bow/axe/dagger/long blade and many others, each link must be timed perfectly at the moment of impact for the next one to hit, but this is where risk points come in and it gets tricky.

The more you hit, the higher your risk points go(up to one hundred), the higher your risk points go the more likely you'll miss the enemy and get hit your self. You also have the ability to make your own weapons in the many workshops scattered around the city, this can be alot of fun trying out your own creation on the enemy. This is not a ten minute game, because from once you pick it up you'll play for hours, the story is absorbing, the combat system is fantastic, and the freedom of choose is refreshing. "BUY THIS AND CHANGE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT GAMES FOREVER!" 10/10. {k.noone}
