Pros: Funny story.
Cons: Dumbed down gameplay and mechanics.
Summary: Author’s Note: This review was originally written in 2001, hence all the references that seem at least somewhat outdated. If I were an ambitious man, I’d go through and fix them all for a 2003 audience—but since I’m not, this disclaimer will have to su ... read more

Pros: Characters, humor, simplicity
Cons: No voices, graphics
Summary: Lately, we see the turn-based RPG era dying. But every now and then we get a new game that has the simple, dragon warrior type battle system a lot of us enjoy. This is one of them. The enemies appear on the map, and contact with them initiates battle. ... read more

Pros: Filled with gut destroying humor, fantastic soundtrack
Cons: Camera angles, dungeons are a nightmare

Summary: Overall: 6 Gameplay: 7 Graphics: 7 Sound: 6 Concept: 6 Replay Value: 6 It's fair to say that the PS2 is an RPG console. The sheer quantity of RPG titles available is mind boggling, even when you look past the numerous Final Fantasy ... read more

Pros: Funny, fun
Cons: Could have looked nicer, dungeons boring at times.
Summary: OKAGE : SHADOW KING I remember this being one of the PLAYSTATION 2’s first RPG’s. I was really psyched to play this game, hoping that it would fill my RPG hunger until FINAL FANTASY 10 came out. I believe I first saw an ad for the game in a GAMEPRO MA ... read more

Summary: You walk into your nearest video game store. There it is! The Playstation 2 display! Hmm, Okage: Shadow King... never heard of it... oh well! You hand the clerk your money and are happily on your way. You go home and open it up and load into your PS2 to ... read more

Pros: original plot, Madril, Stan is cool
Cons: boring and repetitive dungeons, huge flaw in combat system
Summary: It's a shame when a game like Me and Satan King (Okage's original Japanese name) gets massacred before seeing a stateside release. This has happened with excellent games like Dragon Warrior VII and now Okage, an already flawed game that could've been ... read more

Pros: Great artwork, challenging, quirky
Cons: The story's end feels rushed, shared magic points, simplistic battles
Summary: To be quite honest, there were very few games worth sticking around and playing at the 2001 edition of the Electronic Entertainment Expo. One, almost neglected in Sony's sprawling booth, was Okage, the story of a boy and his evil, tyrannical overlord. ... read more

Pros: Fun. Clean. Bright.
Cons: Slightly childish
Summary: For someone who like to solve puzzles and riddles, this is a great game. Playing this game is like reading along to some sort of twisted nursery ryhm.
The main character is a child who is "haunted" by an ancient evil shadow king. The goal is ... read more
