 Bad Game. September 2, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
this game i think could have been much better if it wasn't filled with non stop lame sounds. like the kind you hear on the radio sometimes. and if the charecters weren't really lame and child like i mean your main guy is suppose to be the son of the greatest knight and he acts like a little girl. this game is definately targeted for younger audiences which is wierd why they gave it a teen rating. Also the combat was really lame, it was one button and if you hit a guy enough times you could do a power hit... yeah super exciting, but it was really boring and the whole game looks really cartoonish, like kingdom hearts... another bad game if you ask me who thought it would be could to put final fantasy and disney together?
 ok so far April 26, 2008

the game is ok so far, though i stopped playing after a couple of days to play a different game i bought at the same time. as i've enjoyed the other game so much, i'll get back to this one after. but...like i said, its ok so far. graphics are different, not bad though. voices aren't the best, but what they have to say is pretty bad indeed! gameplay is ok, fighting can be frustrating at times though.
so yea, its OK so far!
 Almost like playing an anime... March 24, 2008
This game is pretty good and original on SQUARE-ENIX's part. Sure, the time system can get annoying, but check out all of the stuff to do. Over 100 characters to recruit, pretty good graphics, and more. It also has an extremely large amount of voices done, basically every NPC has a voice.
If you want a fun RPG, this would be a good one to get.
Really original and fantastic so please do a good action, buy it March 6, 2008

Yeah, that's right, this game is really great. It's the only rpg that i did a lot of time (except maybe shining force 2 a tactical rpg on the sega megadrive). It's simple, when you got beautiful graphics and musics, sharp controls, a pleasant story, a "living" world, and a great sense of humor, you can not really complain.
But nothing in this worls is perfect so maybe even if you can gather a lot of people in your friends list and have them in your party, you will always play the main charachter, Jack. Then, even if you can choose your side and finish the game twice, the main story itself is not very long. It took me about 80 hours to finish the game twice and recruit Lenneth Valkyrie, a hidden character, in the optionnal dungeon. And let me tell you that i'm no god of game. But it can be about 150 hours if you want to complete everything because you'll have to do the game over and over again to add everybody in your list, have the best items, and more. Plus, you do not loose your leveling when you restart the game.
But i speak too much. Still, i believe radiata stories is one of the best rpg games that the ps2 had. And when you know that it had been made by the ones who did the star ocean series and the valkyrie profile series, you just know what you have to do now...
Great RPG! March 1, 2008

There's so many great qualities about Radiata Stories that drives me to play it over and over again savoring every moment! First of all, you have the option to recruit over 170 characters who each have a unique request you must fufill before they join you on your quest. I won't say much as to avoid spoiling anything but as you get further into the game you have to choose sides: the Human Side or the Non-Human Side. Whichever side you choose greatly affects what the ending will be like so choose wisely!
