I tried the first one (since i have the ps2 HDD
) and it was decent but graphics kinda sucked, on the last one ( Reminisce) the graphics are way better and its very fun, the game its just underrated because it just folows story from an earlier game and its used to connect with a third game, if you always believe in the reviews youll miss some good games, some its true they suck but others are just underrated, thats why i always look at player reviews aswell, look the player reviews for reminisce like the 90% of reviews are from 9 to 10. You see the monsters and you can backstab them or run at them from the front to start the battle, then its completely real time fight, you can do combos, special moves and if you time them right sometimes you can do double damage with the special moves called rengeki, and theres also a bar that fills with the damage you take like a limit break, when its full you can release a really powerful attack or other moves you can select AND you can ride a bike, modify its parts and tune it up, one of the other things i liked its that you can trade with all NPCs like if theyre normal players, of course you have to balance the items cost for a fair trade but its still usefull.
There you have a small review
