When I first Noticed Silver in a Dreamcast magazine, I was very disappointed. The game seemed like we were just getting another wannabe RPG game, the game looked cheesy the characters were to small for a Dreamcast game. But when I received my lovely little demo I noticed Silver was on there and decided what the hell why not see how it is, and to my
surprise the game was something I hadn't expected.
The game has a neat little "learn to fight" training mode in the demo which I thought was pretty neat. The games landscapes were unbelievable living up to that of Soul Caliburs. The story of the game seems to be something
I'm sure you all have heard before, man loves women, women gets kidnapped, man tries to save women...Phantasy Star 3 Anyone? The voice acting on Silver is great the voices sound smooth and clear.
Now I must go back on what I said earlier, the characters were not to small, they fit perfect in the game and they look great under the birds-eye view. One thing that
sort of bugs me about the characters is that you cant see their faces to well, they seem blurred hopefully when the game hits shelf's they might be a little more visible.
Finally one last thing also bugged me, and I'm sure it bugged most of the other people that have played this....The fighting controls R and a direction was basically all you can do and took very little strategy, but like I say its a demo and the actual game will have much more features such as to learn magic, special weapon attacks, and even more weapons for our little David to hack with. Overall the game was great and is really worth the purchase if you not a big RPG fan its still worth a rent or two, SEGA still seems to be on task delivering some of the best looking games on the market, definitely a must for a hard-core RPG/Action fan.
NaSh's Rates 1-10 (1 the lowest; 10 the highest)
Replay Value - 7- I'm sure there will be a decent replay out of this game because of the fact that you can walk around and find even more hidden items, even the demo made me want more.
Graphics - 8 - The landscape is unbelievably pretty, but the faces of the actual characters brought this down because there's over 50 characters with blurry faces...that's bad.
Sound -8- The tunes are very relaxing and sound great, The sounds of the swords smashing together also sounds good, but the death yell sounds extremely corny.
Overall - on an average 7.6
NaSh's Overall - 8.4
