Pros: 2D anime scenes look ok.
Cons: Weak gameplay, weak sound, bad control. Need I go on?
Summary: Expecting to get a PS2 on launch day, I wanted to make sure I had something to play on my new system. I knew I wanted Dynasty Warriors 2, but I wanted something with a bit deeper gameplay, so I picked up one of the only RPGs out for the PS2, and that ... read more

Pros: A pretty good action game
Cons: Not really a role playing game at all
Summary: The action in this game is straight up and that's something I like with detailed anime cut scenes and great in game movies. Voice acting is some of the best ever heard on the Play station comparing or on par with Metal Gear Solid. When it came time for ... read more

Cons: more adventure based than rpg
Summary: I got this game when I first got my PSX2. It was the day PSX2's had just been released and I immeadiately chose this game because I recongnized it as a Japanese animation title and Recongnized a few of the companies (namely Kadakowa) also working on some ... read more

Pros: Graphics, anime cutscenes.
Cons: Gameplay, plot, voice actors
Summary: Chalk up yet another PS2 launch game bomb. Orphen: Scion of Sorcery takes yet another stab at giving us only eye candy without any hint of real gameplay to work with. I really don't mind giving anything away (never made it past the halfway point of ... read more

Pros: Graphics
Cons: Sound
Summary: The game everybody hates turned out to be pretty good I think. It introduces some new things into the RPG world, and I found it very original, and a fairly decent game. For those of you, who hated this game, please hear me out; I have some good reasons ... read more

Pros: great graphics
Cons: everything else
Summary: My husband picked up Orphen the day we got our PS2. He figured he hadn't seen any good roleplaying games yet and this one was sitting on the shelf. Hey, why not. I'll give a few reasons why not!
This game was so awful we returned it the ... read more

Summary: When I purchased my PS2, I had to make a crucial decision to figure out which RPG was the one that I would most want first. I walked up to the display window, and liking anime and the like, purchased Orphen. I was swayed by the anime graphics on the ... read more

Pros: Long game, fun story line
Cons: little replay value
Summary: One of the benefits of Sony's new PlayStation 2 is its ability to accept both CD-Rom and DVD-Rom based games. With videogame developers wanting to include more photo-realistic images, video, and movie clips, the approximately 600 megabyte capacity of a ... read more

Pros: fun game
Cons: expensive system
Summary: This 3-D action game is similar to the way that the Legend of Zelda is set up. This is an excellent game for all ages. It's a role playing type game that challenges the players problem solving abilities. If you like the style of Zelda games, then this ... read more

Pros: Graphics are great.
Cons: Everything else is intolerable.
Summary: "Orphen: Scion of Sorcery" is by far one of the worst games I've played lately. In the past year, only two games have been worse. "The Incredible Hulk" for the Playstation, and "Tokyo Extreme Racer" for the Dreamcast. ... read more

Pros: Pretty graphics(like all Playstation 2 games)
Cons: bad sound, uninteresting, gets boring FAST
Summary: Being someone who is no huge fan of anime, this may be a very biased review, but I guess that's what opinions are for. I think anime is better left on TV or movies and should stay out of the video game industry in the US, especially if this game is a ... read more
