Lunar Silver Star Story: Collectors Edition for PlayStation 1

Pros: Combat System, Localization, Some Memorable Characters
Cons: Nall is Annoying, Battle Theme is a Little Weak

Plenty of games come and go, but only some leave a lasting effect on those that have played them; one of these games is Lunar: The Silver Star Story Complete. I heard of this game when it was re-released on the PlayStation console; I made the huge...

Pros: Wonderful, absorbing story and characters
Cons: Primitive graphics and sounds. I defy you to find it anywhere other than ebay!

Thank God I found this game! I was just beginning to become a little disillusioned with the selection of rpgs available for the PlayStation-of the considerable selection, I seem to have been playing all the bad one lately: Final Fantasy 8 was...

Pros: Memorable characters, great translation, solid soundtrack, great battle system.
Cons: Annoying inventory system, might be too old-school for some.

Nostalgia can be a good or bad thing, depending on how you look at it. While we all like to reminisce about the "good ole' days", sometimes we can be easily misled into thinking what we grew up with was better than it actually was. And of course, as ...

Pros: Light hearted story, fun characters, battle system, extras and excellent translation
Cons: changes from Sega CD version, battle theme

In case you were unaware this game was originally a Sega CD title and the playstation version is an enhanced remake of that game. I’ll begin by saying that I have never played the Sega CD version, which is next to impossible to find. I have however ...

Pros: Amazing Story, Excellent Ending, Perfect Character Chemistry
Cons: MIDI music leaves much to be desired

The year was 1986. Back then I was just a spry young boy with nothing better to do than play my newly acquired Nintendo Entertainment System. A new release on the golden wall at the Toys ‘R’ Us immediately caught my attention: Dragon Warrior. This was...

Pros: Amazing entertainment value for the RPG aficionado.
Cons: Replayability leaves something to be desired.

I screwed up in 1999. Back during the fine summer of that year, I made the horrible mistake of renting Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete, playing a meek amount of the game before switching to using the Gameshark, and then considered the game defunct. ...

Pros: Enjoyable game.
Cons: Could be hard to find now that they don't manufacture it anymore.

I have been playing this game for 18 hours!

Okay I better clarify lest you think me a neglectful mother. I love RPG's and I am very picky about them, I for one was not impressed with FFVII, in fact I was disappointed. So when I saw the...

Pros: Characters have deep and unique personalities, character development not better than Xenogears, but still very good, very well written plot twists and dialogue
Cons: Stoy takes a while to become interesting, character development is good but the story could have focused more on the characters

So far, a five years into the lifetime of the Playstation, this console has brought RPGs into the mainstream, but has also stolen from RPGs that certain magic created by the now-dead 2D. RPGs used to have endearing characters with deep and unique...

Pros: Beautiful Graphics, Strong, consistent story, Humorous
Cons: Expensive, Minor flaws in sound production

While many people do not recall it, the Sega CD had several good role-playing games, which suffered due to the poor reception of the system. One such game is Lunar: The Silver Star. With clean graphics and an interesting storyline, complete with...

Pros: Just About Everything
Cons: Nearly Impossible To Find, Way Too Many Random Battles

What can really be said about Lunar that hasn’t been gushed a billion times before about it? Ever since its original release for the Sega CD that died a quick death, Lunar has lived in the hearts and imaginations of gamers everywhere as one of the best...

Pros: Excellent translation, fun all around, relatively easy
Cons: Lack of plot and character depth

I'd been looking for a copy of Final Fantasy Anthology when I ran across Lunar: Silver Star Story in the Playstation aisle. The packaging intrigued me - a cardboard box, which promised an "artbook" and a cloth map, as well as a music CD and a...

Pros: A good game in and of itself.
Cons: A poor tribute to the Sega CD version

This is going to be a review of Lunar: SSSC as seen through the eyes of somebody who has played through, is familiar with, and fondly remembers the previous version on the Sega CD system. As such--you may want to stop and turn back now if you're not...

Pros: great story,characters,music,cut scenes
Cons: too bad it has to end

I have to admit,I didn't understand all the hype this game got. It didn't appear to have the flashy graphics of the newer RPGs. Why the big build up? Then I played it,and understood.

Lunar has got to rank among the best RPGs ever. The story is...

Pros: The writing is incredible
Cons: Rarity of it now, good luck finding it!

Introduction

Lunar: Silver Star Story was a game that I was eagerly anticiapating. The Sega CD version was one of the best RPGs of alltime, so I expected nothing less from the PSX version. So how does the PLaystatioon version...

Pros: Art, story, gameplay, localization.
Cons: Combat, Nall, some other annoying characters.

Have I ever told you you’re my hero? No!? Well that’s probably because you’re not my hero. But, if you’ve still got aspirations of ascending to hero status, especially aspirations of being a hero to hundreds of 2D sprites, then Lunar: The Silver Star...
