Dark Cloud for PlayStation 2

Pros: It looks pretty good.
Cons: Poor translation, bugs, and an alarming number of glitches.

If imitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery, then Nintendo must be absolutely beaming afte ...

Pros: Lotsa leverage in the game, real time environments, great-looking graphics, the talking Slingshot, Steve.
Cons: Repetition and Toan being mostly mute. Dark Genie is laughable and horribly cast :p

Dark Cloud is a launch game for the PlayStation 2 that can still hold its own above the console’s meager and utterly disappointing cesspool of an RPG library (this, though is technically an action-RPG). Its light storyline, vibrant graphics,...

Pros: Great gameplay, lots to see and do.
Cons: No sound in the dungeons.

While I love adventure and plat former games, RPG’s have never really appealed to me. Sure, I have tried to learn them and enjoy the game play, but more often then not, I walk away frustrated from the complex menu’s and battle options, swearing them off....

Pros: nice game play, awesome weapons
Cons: sound

I had been saving up some quarters for about the last two weeks, so I could get a new game. Once I reached fifty dollars, I went out to Wal-Mart with my original plans to buy Red Faction. However, they were out of stock, and so I went with my second...

Pros: great weapons
Cons: too repetative

For the most part, I really enjoyed this game. It has its problems, but most of them are easy to overlook.

Overall this is a cool looking game. The characters are nicely modeled, kind of standard in design for the most part, but they still...

Pros: Nice story, original ideas
Cons: Horrible sound, childish graphics and monsters

Dark Cloud is a role playing game that was one of the first titles released for the PlayStation 2 console. Just from looking at the box, you can tell that this game was made in order to appeal to fans of the Zelda game on Nintendo 64. The graphics,...

Pros: random dungeon system, easy action-adventure game, assorted party of characters, Georama premise
Cons: weapon degradation system, thirst system, no XP, some control/mechanic issues

Dark Cloud is a Greatest Hits PlayStation 2 role-playing title released by Level 5 a few years ago (2001). It gained a significant following as one of the first RPG releases to hit the PS2. Why did I purchase it? Well, my friend bought me Dark Cloud 2 ...

Pros: Engaging plot, gameplay, and just sheer amount of things to do.
Cons: Nonexistent voice acting, gameplay.

Quite frankly, I got my copy of Dark Cloud because a)I was going through video game withdrawal and the back of the box promised me 50 hours of gameplay and b) I only had 20 bucks with me and it was a greatest hits title. I am happy to say that this ...

Pros: Graphics, effects, Georama system.
Cons: Poor execution, dungeon crawl incredibly dull, arduous weapon system, story.

A really big pot-thing is sitting on the floor. A bunch of guys in masks are dancing around it, really strange like. Standing in watch is some fat guy and a throwback from a WW2 Nazi film. After a dull 5 minutes or so of this annoying dancing sequence...

Pros: Vibrant characters, imaginative
Cons: text too fast to read, little annoyances

A game that could have been a masterpiece but fell just a tad short of expectations. In this game you take on the role of a young boy, Toan, who also happens to, in the opinion of the almighty Sephiroth, have the most annoying name ever in any video game...

Pros: Great Graphics
Cons: Repetative GamePlay, Repetative Sound

Game: Dark Cloud
Platform: PlayStation2
Genre: RPG (Action Adventure)
By: VeX Steve Rpgs
Final Rating: 80%

Dark Cloud was anticipated to be the PS2's first "real" RPG. Unfortunately, I was let down by the scarse storyline...

Pros: Addictive gameplay, beautiful scenery; character animations, and an innovative combination of many genres into one!
Cons: The game could use some voice work, and a story that is more involving.

Are you tired of the same old RPG (Role Playing Game) where you must save the world by endless random battles? Are you tired of that slash and hack adventure game? How about a game where you could put the town together, and more! Finally, a new type of...

Pros: PS2 graphics, Zelda meets Final Fantasy
Cons: Tedious, doesn't require a brain, gameplay moves in a straight line

The first thing that appealed to me about Dark Cloud was its close resemblance to Nintendo's Zelda (duh, like you didn't know that). I was a huge fan of the original series and still am a diehard fan of the new ones that Nintendo has come out with. But...

Pros: Won't make you skip classes because its more boring than they are
Cons: Repetitive gameplay

Wanting to get a good RPG for the PS2 I decided I'd go try out Dark Cloud. The game is quite a bit like Zelda, even the main character has Elven features. However after playing the game for about 15 hours I was already sick of it.

The...

Pros: The best-looking PS2 RPG yet; combination of RPG, adventure, simulation elements is a great idea…
Cons: …Too bad the execution failed.

Given the lack of quality RPGs on PlayStation2, the idea behind Dark Cloud seemed really good; take a tried-and-true gameplay formula (Zelda) and intertwine it with a mixture of innovation and elements from other genres. On paper, Dark Cloud sounds like...
