Links There will be more on the way! -Memberz- Gotenks Crono Mix KrIsPy		start with the basic ingredients: smooth, steady framerate, good-if not great-graphics, a variety of levels both indoors and out, and controls that feel comfy the second you pick up the joypad. Those things alone make Red Faction worth playing, so everything else is gravy-and there is a lot of gravy. Add a complement of superb weapons and kick-ass vehicles to pilot. Top it off with a windling story packed with scripted events, sound effects that make a difference, and the long overdue ability to blow holes in almost everything you end up with one of the best reasons to own a PS2. Since the single player mode is so exciting, Volition did not refresh the been-there-done-that first person shooter genre. The game also gets harder and harder towards the end, a challenge is good but when one must face death more than five times a area just to progress to the next, something should have been tweaked along the way. Overall this game is qaulity that may be one first person shooter that actually beats the great Half Life in more than one way. Just like Arnie said, get your ass to Mars.Rating=8.0 Pros=Involving single player mode, and sharp graphics and good sound effects. Cons=Sparse multiplayer options and too hard at times.KrIsPY

HOME Final Fantasy IX

It was not to long ago that Sqaure released Final Fantasy VIII. I found and many other RPGers out there can agree; FF VIII was a dissapoinment, featuring a sci-fi theme that just was not FF calibur. When I think of Final Fantasy, I think of great stories that occur in delightful fantasy lands, beautiful music, endearing characters, and fun combat. Say hello to Sqaure's best FF since the classic FF VII. The debate here at the Klan was whether to lable this as the single best Final Fantasy, the end result was no, FF VI and FF VII deserve to hold that title. I will say that I had a pleasent time playing thru this game. I am not going to give anything about the story or characters because most of you should know by now. As much though as I liked the story, the characters failed to really grab hold of me. Zidane is a ok hero and all, but to me he was more of a scrawny version of Cloud, without the jerk attitude of course. I really did grow attached to Vivi and Steiner, but the majority of the cast(YAWN)...just did not add a bang to the story. I really found myself blown away by the rich graphics. Stunning backgrounds and superb charcters(hint: play with texture smoothing on PS2). The music, a foundation of quality for any worthwhile FF, was a mixed baggy actually. I really was amazed by the FMV music clips, I am a fan of symphony; the actual game music was actually kind of weak and may I add there was a very annoying battle song. Overall FF IX lacks originality, but surely makes up that fault by being one of the most polished games around. Let me put it like this, if FF VIII you found not to be your cup of tea, FF IX certainly can renew your faith in this legendary series and become your cup of java. I would rank this as the fourth best PS one rpg ever. My list: 1). FF VII, 2). Chrono Cross, 3). Suikoden and then FF IX. Now what are you doing go play the damn game you bloody bastard. Rating=9.0
Pros=amazing story,beautiful graphics,simple yet effective combat,and good 'ol FF atmosphere.
Cons=No originality, weak charcaters compared to FF VI and FF VII,too many RANDOM BATTLES.KrIsPY
