Brigandine: The Legend of Forsena

THE GOOD:
Six histories rolled into one, and thus, six countries to choose from. Gameplay won't bore you and you can do just about anything without too much restrictions.

THE BAD:
The repitition of quests tends to sink in after some time of playing and tends to drag your more important conquering. Also it lacks a maniacs mode since hard would be too easy in the long run.

SUMMARY:
This turn-based strategy is better than many strategies because it is not too linear and you won't be stuck in a single map or area(unless you want to). Stories tend to become boring after some repetition but Brigandine differs in a way that it keeps the story lines for each country at minimal and focuses more on the action. Furthermore, the game continues even if the basic story is done(defeating Esgares). There are a variety of characters in the game and few added ones, and each country has its own strengths and weaknesses.

THE GOOD:
Brilliant gameplay, excellent replay value, involving storyline, challenging.

THE BAD:
Graphics pretty much near suck, the difficulty might be to much for some people, and time consuming, but other than that, I loved it.

SUMMARY:
Brigandine is truly one of the most magnificent games I have played. You can spend hours fighting, and you wont even realize it, its just that kind of game. The story is involving, and the battle system is truly amazing. especially the ability to summon monsters to help you on your quest, and then have them evolve into even more powerful monsters, like golden dragons, and hydra's. If you are lucky enough to get your hands on a copy of this, and you dont want it, I'll take it. this game is a keeper, and a wonderful piece to collect, since it is rare to find, almost extinct new. Too bad my copy broke....I'm nothing but a lost sould now.....But seriously, this game is terrific.

THE GOOD:
Good Replay value(6 countries to choose from)
A nice challenge

THE BAD:
So-So Graphics

SUMMARY:
This game is great! you get to play as one of the six countries to choose from, each with a different history and a different motive. There is plenty of secrets as well!
