Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits (PlayStation 2, 2003)

I found this game while browsing for good deals on DVDs. I read other reviews which stated this was a really enjoyable game that somehow had not caught the buyers' eye and had been left behind by RPGers. I am always looking for a good RPG game so I bought this one (really cheap.) I found it to be true: Arc the Lad had a wonderful, fully-fleshed out story which cover the gamit of emotions as well as prejudice, hatred, love, deceit, betrayal, trust, caring and acceptance. The characters, humans and Deimos (a mutant race), were deep and their dialogues, sensitivities and emmotionally twists and turns easily related to by the player. I am a hard-core RPGer, but when I started playing this game I could hardly put it down - wanting to know what would happen next or around the next corner. My grandson, a hard-core shooter/fighter video gamer, started watching me and now I have to take turns with him playing the game. He has never liked RPG games, but in his words, "This game is awesome! It has everything!" You can read about the characters and plot when and if you check it out to buy so I won't waste words on that here. I'll just say that the graphics and characters are very cool as are the monsters and mutants. The story line flows continually with no drags or lulls. It may be a little tame if you want your RPG games to be like "God Of War" all the time, but it's your loss. Just do yourself a favor and buy this one (cheap) before it catches on what a real find it is.

When I played Arc the Lad, the first thing that caught my attention was the storyline. Just like in a good movie, whith in 30 minutes it had me hooked. the main charaters were identifed and I new it was goning to the classic good againt evil. In no way did the story go off into a foreign dialog that would confuse the player. it was straight and to the point. also the graphics were not to bad and contruibuted in submerging the chacters and myself into the story where you cared what happen and what happen to yourself. you had over (14) playable charaters that keep the action, graphics, and the life of the story on course.
in my opinion whether video games is a art or not. They can allow our imaganation to go futher than any book could ever us allow. We can now become part of the stroy.
so if, Arc of the Lad did not catch your attention, then I know there are now thousand of what I like to call interactive books ( video games) to you liking or adventuring with. I have over 540 video games. Remember there are 5 important thing that make an inactive book come alive and to be a best seller, but you folks probably already know that.

SPECIAL NOTE: I STILL LIKE TO TAKE JOURNEYS THRU VIDEO GAMES I ALREADY KNOW WHAT HAPPEN.

What I loved most about this game was the storyline. It was unique and always kept surprising me with new twists in the story. I also liked most of the characters you can play especially the Deimos. I rate Arc the Lad 5- stars for anyone who likes Final Fantasy, the .hack games, Star Ocean, or Kingdom Hearts should definitely consider this one. I bought it for a great price, and it was definitely worth the buy.

I cannot say enough good things about this game. I played it 3 times with the first being over 80 hours long and the other two about 60. I love every minute and woill play it again. you can start a new game with great items and mony in a replay. The grafics are stunning in AND out of cutscenes.the atention to every detail is unmatched. you level up characters, and gain more and more abilities for each character all at your own choice. the othe games in the arc the lad series are worthless though and I'm waiting for a worthy sequal. the story and character deveopement are deep and poinent. BUY this game. I will never sell my copy.

i thought the game had a good story line and good charaters did not like that it was not as long as i supected

I like role playing, some action and adventure type games. It is enjoyable and a relaxing type game and the story flow is interesting. I do not know how far I am into the game or how much farther it will take me ? I do find it hard to save sometimes my progress and have to go back to the last save spot if I want to save my progress before I quit for some reason or other.

Fast delivery, good condition, great game. I very impressed on how fast I got it in the mail. I love my game so far it's really fun. Thank you so mauch!

This is a very amazing game. It can be found for $5.99 at the right location and is worth much more. It has a great turn based battle system and also has a great storyline. The only negative thing that I can think of is that it is not that challenging for an experienced gamer. However, this is a MUST have.

This a great game. I've spent literally hundreds of hours p[laying it. It has a great story line and easy to follow. Takes some strategy but that is part of the enjoyable game. I love games of this caliber

I really enjoyed this game when I first played it on the PS2 before PS3 was even out. It was a simple easy to get rpg that had 2 main characters and in interesting plot.

I like the story and the graphics. There is a lot of drama. I like being able to play more than one character. I like to save often, but sometimes there will be three story battles in a row without a chance to save. I hate losing the third battle and having to do them all again. I don't like the fact that if you have 10 fighters, you can only have six in a battle, but after those six die, you should be able to put in the other four.

I first saw this game when a friend of mine was playing it, but after time I forgot the title, then I found the game on e-bay. I thought the cover was familiar, and the discription sounded cool so I got it, then I read the back and remembered that this was the same one my friend had!
It is a great game, the graphics are ok, the story line is really good! I love how you can play the game from two different angles: the humans AND the deimos.It is fun but not overly challenging, for me the hardest part so far was catching the firble! You'll need to buy the game to find out what that is! :P

I always loved this game, but one day I lost it :-(. So I ended up searching half.com for it and I found it sitting right there for a decent price. So I ended up shelling out a few bucks for an awesome game. I love e-bay so much because I can always find great deals. :-)

ON AUG 10/O6 I WON A GAME ON EBAY. I PAYED WITH PAYPAL TEN MINUTES AFTER I WON THE BID IT WAS $10.45. I HAVE CONTACTED THE SELLER 2 TIMES GOT NO REPLY . THE MONEY WAS TOOK OUT OF MY BANK ACCOUNT. STILL NO GAME I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO TAKE THE LOSS I GUESS.
