Odin Sphere is a Fully-Voiced Action-Adventure Game Featuring Beautiful Hand-Drawn Artwork Put into Motion to Tell an Epic Tale of Power, Loss, and Love.|"Odin Sphere is a Fully-Voiced Action-Adventure Game Featuring Beautiful Hand-Drawn Artwork Put into Motion to Tell an Epic Tale of Power, Loss, and Love."

The nations of Erion had always held an uneasy peace, as the various kings and queens watched each other for any signs of weakness. When the country of Valentine is obliterated by the power of an ancient artifact, it sparks a bloody war between the fairies of Ringford and the warriors of Ragnanival. Little do they know that they are acting out an almost-forgotten prophecy: one that, if fulfilled, will lead to the destruction of the entire world. Take control of the warrior princess Gwendolyn, daughter of Odin, and follow the threads of an intricately woven story as you uncover the truth behind the prophecy - and how to bring it to an end.

I'm not the kind of guy to buy into the hype wagon belonging to a videogame that doesn't belong to a series that has proven to me its merits...So when I caught wind of Atlus' Odin Sphere - the spiritual successor to a Japan only Saturn title known as Princess Crown - I was intrigued but not sold...So I kept the game on my radar, waiting for when the reviews would begin to trickle in, to see if my holdout was justified or not. Chock full of praise and starry-eyed adoration, these reviews had me dropping my guard in a hurry and off to track down a copy for myself. What I found was a game that even the most detailed review couldn't build up enough, as all expectations were swiftly excelled by the sheer genius that is Odin Sphere. For a game of this inexplicable quality to see a release at the end of the PlayStation 2's lifespan is mind blowing, as without hesitation, this game trumps not only 95% of everything released on that system, but nearly everything released for the PlayStation 3 as well...What sets Odin Sphere apart from the crowd is hard to pin down to just one aspect, as it exceeds in just about every category you can think of. But if I had to pick just one, I would say graphics...The detail in each object and character through the entire game is astounding, utilizing a deep color palette and natural shadows to create something unlike anything else on the system...If there is one phrase that can cover just about everything Odin Sphere is about, it would be this: Odin Sphere has 2D sensibilities. If you remove the technological aspect of the game - not that you'd want to - you have a game that could just as easily been released on the Super Nintendo and ruled the hearts and dreams of fan boys and girls around the world. But it is that technological aspect that pushes the game beyond the realm of above average to sheer greatness. Do not miss this one of a kind experience that, much like a Red Bull, will revitalize your mind, body and soul. - Tony Peters

4 of 5 Great 2d Sidescroller Friday, June 01, 2007
pothb from Centreville  

This game is phenominal in my opinion. This game has beautiful graphic and art. The gameplay is pretty decent where all the characters are pretty well done. The inventory is annoying and there are slowdowns, which means this should've been on Xbox 360 or Ps3 to play at perfect speed all the time. The slow down isn't that bad though. It only happens during parts of the game that has lost of things on screen. The inventory on the other hand is annoying at best. I've accidently planted seeds and drop items more than enough time. You can get used to it but its still not a good system. Aside from those 2 faults, its a really good game. The difficulty is pretty hard for a first time play but after you get used to it its not too bad. Though I've never tried different difficulty myself, I hear that the different difficulty just changes how fast you lvl up and that is a bad implementation.
