| Features:
| • | Battle monsters and creatures and ultimately collect their powers. As players harvest these powers, they in turn can use them against other monsters in battle, thus getting stronger with each monster they capture. | | • | Play as both characters, Ellen and Keats, and watch as their separate tales intertwine. Each character has specific talents and gameplay styles: Keats uses traditional direct attacks while Ellen uses strategic methods to trap her enemies. | | • | From the colorful Fairies to dark Spirits, each creature is painstakingly designed to inspire wonder and amazement. | | • | Much like pulling fish out of the water with a fishing pole, the PLAYSTATION3 SIXAXIS? wireless controller lets players literally ?shake? their enemies into submission and ?yank? their powers from them. | | • | Design custom Folklore dungeons and share with players online. Populate your levels with creatures you collect during your single player campaign! |

Product Description
Developed by Tokyo's Game Republic under legendary game creator Yoshiki Okamoto, executive producer for Onimusha, Devil May Cry and Resident Evil, Folklore is a unique, dark fantasy adventure inspired by western fairy tales and centered on the mysterious town of Doolin. The story revolves around two strangers - Keats, an unlikely journalist for a third rate occult magazine, and Ellen, an orphaned dreamer. Together they uncover a mysterious legend in a remote village that exists on the border between dreams and reality, and soon learn that the town serves as a gateway to fantastic realms, full of creatures, spirits and monsters. In order to solve the mystery of the town, and their past, the pair must journey through these worlds to uncover its secrets.

 Fruity August 3, 2008
I bought this because it looked really good. And that it does. The graphics and visuals are amazing, as is the general concept; a doorway into parallel universes with various, interesting new species. That's where the fun ended for me.
While my husband enjoyed this game, I found it to be annoyingly redundant. He kind of likes redundant stuff, I loathe it. It seemed like you just had to do the same thing over and over.
The plot itself was okay, but could have been better. But overall, this is better left to the kiddies, and I wouldn't recommend it for the avid roleplayer.

It's No Final Fantasy June 17, 2008
I was expecting more of this game. Like one of the other reviewers mentions there is about 90% of the story presented in a kind of comic book style in the cut scenes, which is really disappointing for a PS3 game. Were they too cheap to animate and hire voice actors for all the cut scenes?? I did play the game through to the end (hence the 3 stars), so I got my money's worth from it but I won't ever play it again. If you are a RPG player then I think you will find this game a little weak. It's no where near the standard of a Final Fantasy game (not even close)!
Stunning visuals! June 4, 2008
The visuals in this game are stunning. It makes you to pause the gameplay for a while and admire the environment. The gameplay itself is a bit slow paced, but it depends on whether you want to release all the karmas or whether you want to collect all the special items. It's a neat game with very smooth graphics. I played it on an HDTV capable of giving maximum output. The storyline itself may seem somewhat boring. The enemies are not hard to beat, but they tend to be repetitive.
Overall, if you want a lot of hours of gameplay, want to see awesome visuals, excellent music, and a cool game, this is for you. Slasher fans will not like this game. The replay value is also more because you can play the game with multiple characters. A good game to show-off your PS3 to your friends. I found this game to have a lot of similarities with the Final Fantasy series in which you defeat the enemies using magic powers, attacks, and the like.
It's a slow game, but gets addictive as you go along. Definitely a must buy for the PS3.
