I highly recommend both Disgaea and Fatal Frame

Beyond Good and Evil is another hidden gem I would recommend.

Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil is ok... i found myself wanting to skip the cutscenes, not caring what happened to the characters, and not getting into the plot... but the actual gameplay was fun:)

The Bouncer? The fighting was very simplistic, the storyline was unoriginal, cliche characters, and the only thing it had going for it was it's awesome graphics and the Squaresoft name. It was so darn short too it took me two and a half hours to beat it and that's counting the cinematics. It was more like an interactive movie then a game.

The Fatal Frame games are lovely, especially the second one, I heard somewhere there was going to be a movie made....not too sure if this is true or not. La Pucelle Tactics and Disgaea or both little gems for the strategy loving crowd out there and Guilty Gear X2 was the most fun I've had with a 2D fighter in quite some time. I also suggest Maximo Army of Zen, pure-platforming fun.

Suikoden III

Play it, and you will never look at epic RPG's the same again.

Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.

I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Volt wrote:Lay-off The Bouncer. It was on the top of the charts for 3 months. The bouncer was an awsome game for it's time and compared to A LOT of other games, the bouncer OWNS.

The graphics of course, The vioce acting, the characters, the replay value and Multiplayer features, not to mension the pressure sensetive buttons, and also the RPG elements.

IT"S SHORT BECAUSE -> on the back of the Box it says "CINEMATIC GAME", The thing's a 2 hour movie, A lot of money went into it. Not all games have to be 50+ hours.


The bargain bin Spec Ops series was on the PS1 charts for ages, and it was the worst series of games on that system EVER.:P I'm not saying The Bouncer was crap but it deffinetly doesn't win any awards in my book. It was far from bad but Squaresoft could of done much better especially with all the hype it got.

It was a Squaresoft cash cow plain and simple. It was the first game they made for the system and they wanted to show off what they could do with it.

You say that like that's a bad thing!

Bouncer was ok. It's worth playing more than once because it keeps getting harder, and you get new techniques and it challenges you more and more... I mean, my friend was upset by the length until he replaed it a few times, and got to the point where he wasn't able to beat it right away.

Ohh I love that game!!! It had a very original premise, cool graphics, awesome music, and was just plain fun! Actually they had a Jet Grind Radio sequel on Xbox.
