Been thinking about buying Eternal Ring because: A) its cheap and B) I've heard that the only reason it's cheap is because it came out when X Box did and did poor in stores.... seeing how u've all been playing it, what do you think of the game so far?

This game makes a nice little addition to any PS2 collection. Yeah, it's not the BEST RPG in the world, but it's interesting enough to keep. The movement can be a tad difficult sometimes, but it's got nicely rendered backgrounds and a whole slew of nasty beasties to battle. One thing I think that this game is extremely under-appreciated for is its beautiful dragon characters and FMV's.

I'd like to second that and say its also quite diffacult so be prepared

I dont think you should bother unless you can get it for next to nothing, i have it and the ring-creation system is really good. Other than that, i didnt really find it the interesting. I got through the game without any problems without dieing once, it was too easy. However i do agree with my fellow gamer SerialZero:

If you love King's Field, then you will also love Eternal Ring...Once you get past the minor differences... They are both from the same mold, and from the same creators- when they simply felt like taking a break from King's Field, and made Eternal Ring - just before they made "King's Field, The Ancient City." I personally love them all equally... I'm not much of a gamer, except for these four games (King's Field 1, 2, King's Field the Ancient City, and Eternal Ring) All are remarkable and incredible adventures... I am waiting patiently for a new one in the series, it's been a while...
