Pros: Interesting storyline, characters, areas, great music, some innovative features Cons: Somewhat short, can get lost if not paying attention
Released in August of 1998, Parasite Eve was the first game to implement Resident Evil's "Survivor Horror" with Squaresoft's RPG wonders. In effect it created the "Cinematic RPG", and actually the only I believe (until Parasite Eve...
Pros: Good graphics, great FMV sequences, detailed storyline Cons: Very short
When Square released Parasite Eve, their goal was simple, if a bit lofty--to implement the gameplay mechanics of titles like Tomb Raider and Resident Evil into an RPG type of game. The end result of this experiment is something of a mixed bag, as...
Pros: Great cinemas, nice sound effects and a great science based story. Cons: Aya runs like a sloth and this game is still over quickly, lots of flaws
The following review is part of the Squaresoft Write-off (hey… that almost rhymed!) hosted by none other than Xeno3998. If you’re taking the time to read this review (instead of just rubber-stamping it), please take the time out of your day to...
Pros: Combo of RPG and action, great controls Cons: the music
Square Soft has done it again. They have managed to produce another great game. However this game is different from their usual role playing games. This game is a combo of action and role-playing. The game I am talking about is Parasite Eve.
Pros: a consistent and exciting story Cons: cool but slightly bizarre weapons system, high expectations about birds and dinosaurs carrying spare ammunition
I've been limiting my Squaresoft intake since Final Fantasy 7 because I experience burnout afterwards, so it took a long time for me to come to the decision that I really did want to play a game that Madonna bought the movie rights to. It turns out I...
Pros: great cinemas, ability to dodge Cons: music, too short, hard to dodge at times,
Squaresoft had made their name with a number of outstanding RPG's, but now from Squaresoft comes a different RPG. Parasite Eve showcases a new type of RPG and Squaresoft has made quite a seamless transition from the standard RPG into what can best be...
Pros: Some pretty good graphics, in parts Cons: Graceless and slow character movement
Parasite Eve had intrigued me. I read a couple of reviews, read the back of the case, and thought "I want to play this game." That much I can admit. I love video games, especially ones with good graphics, and everything I saw indicated that...
Pros: CG, Main Character's pretty hot, Fun while it lasts. Cons: Fun over too quickly, bonus game doesn't offer much replay.
After cranking through several incredibly long titles at Squaresoft (FFVII, FF Tactics, Saga Frontier, Xenogears, FFVII PC) I was the first one on Parasite Eve in Japanese. I was tearing through the game until I ran into some A bugs that wouldn't let...
Pros: You play a female character who, for once, isn't improbably proportioned. Cons: Loading time between screens is loooong...and Aya runs way too slow.
...but instead I decided to opt in for a little cultural enlightenment and accepted a date to the opera with a total sap...what was I thinking?! "My father got me these tickets." I hope your daddy knows some single women, pal. So there I...
Pros: Being able to customize guns and armor. Cons: No voice acting
The list of role playing games I like is very short. Partly due to the fact their is more reading than playing, and partly due to the fact that RPG's don't interest my game playing. This is one of the elite though, and scored high honors by me on my...
Pros: Amazing cut scenes and music, good story, great graphics, innovative fighting system Cons: Aya runs a little slowly, but hey, you get to see a lot of leg at the beginning.
I didn't get to play Parasite Eve until two years after it had been released.
It didn't matter.
Parasite Eve was based off of a book by the same name written and published in Japan by a Japanese author who's name escapes me at the...
Pros: The graphics are incredible. The quality of the game is well worth the money. Cons: The price of course.
Talk about an addiction! Parasite Eve hooked me from the first moment I played it. The graphics are astronomical along with the sounds. Compare this one to Tomb Raider on my PC and Parasite Eve wins hands down.
Pros: Great story, great CG movies, great game play, lots of different modes Cons: Easy to get through, low replay value
Parasite Eve is Square’s resident evil copy. Parasite Eve dawned in America last year where players got to engage in Aya Brea’s story. The goes that there is a young woman who has specially mutated mitochondria. Around her other things are mutating as...
Pros: Great story, great in-game graphics, stunning video sequences, and lots to do! Cons: Aya walks like a snail.
I am, as of typing this, still engrossed in this spectacular thrill-ride of a game. Even when you think the game is over for the first time, you've still got a long way to go to completely conquer "Parasite Eve".
