The gameplay was fun, and I especially liked the dark presentation of the story (which also had some nice touches of humor here and there). I've also come to appreciate the soundtrack more.<br /><br />- Valkyrie Profile; it's unique in many facets of its design, but it just wasn't for me.<br /><br />- Chaos Leigon; I liked the visual execution of the game, but I found the gameplay paled in comparison to DMC, at least at the time. <br /><br />- Ys: The Oath of Felghana; the only Ys I've played was Ys Seven, and while I thought it was a pretty good game, I just couldn't get into the setting and characters, which is a must for RPGs.<br /><br />- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night; I've played it, but haven't beaten it. Personally, I prefer the GBA and DS entries to the Castlevania series; specifically, Portrait of Ruin and Order of Ecclessia. <br /><br />- Darkstalkers 3; I actually don't like this series much. I find it to be too fast and difficult to play. Though I do love the a lot of the character designs and respect the originality of the series. <br /><br />------------------<br /><br />Also, if I could change something from my list, it would be the "Best Racing Game", that easily goes to F-Zero GX. It must have slipped my mind when I did this list.

Comparison is and has always been a more than proper way to assess the quality of any product or service.<br /><br />Anyway, seeing as I share most of your choices for favorite games, I was wondering if you played (and if you did, what do you think of them?) these other games that rank in my personal favorites when it comes to amazing games that set the bar.<br />These would be:<br /><br />3D RPG: Shadow Hearts and SH:Covenant<br /><br />2D RPG: Valkyrie Profile<br /><br />3D Action RPG: Chaos Legion and Ys:The Oath in Felghana<br /><br />2D Action RPG: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night<br /><br />2D Fighting: Vampire Savior (Darkstalkers 3)<br />Aveehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717451207730991380noreply@blogger.com
