Dark Cloud for PlayStation 2 Reviews by Gamers

if you like or getting in to RPG games this is the best i have ever seen! the sound was great, the story line was fantastic, the graphics were the best for when it was made every weapon, item, even toan was great.

i loved how you could rebuild the towns.

overall i thought this was a great game to get and im still playing it today.

Any parent that didn't allow their kids to play T games until they at least are past 10yrs may feel a little insecure about letting them play Dark Cloud at first glance. The name and the box art visualize a horrorifica game with countless decapitations and a dystopian world, leading to an
abysmal effect on their children. Dark Cloud should've been named something instilling, because,despise the fact that the main object of the game is to defeat the Dark Genie {who I have a habit of calling the Pink Genie} mainly it involves miracles coming to life through Sony's inspiration back in '01: Georama.
The story starts off sinister with the revival of a demon who looks like a pig and then the destruction of a Spanish village bearing the title Norune. Our hero,Toan (whom you can name) is given the ability of restoration of what's lost from a deity impressed by his actions. So, he takes himself as a miracle worker amist many locations and amoung many people, some bizzarre, yet cute.
Though many say it's a duplicate of TLoZ, DC has its own magic that needs a separate entry from those games. In Zelda, you can acquire weapons, but no such modifications are involved. In Dark Cloud, you can,but you must be aware of constant fixing of your weapons to keep their stats.
Also a simulation feature is involved. As you hike through age-long dungeons, spheres called Atla pepper each floor level for you to obtain what's in them: all what was saved. Once you collect them all, you can rebuild the town your style, but keeping the requests of the citizens true.
Dark Cloud can be a family game, as long as your kid can ignore "pumpkin panty fortune telling" &
not go asking about the suggestive punchlines of the game. Being underaged as well, I've played nearly all through it, laughed here and there, and look at me, I'm still me. Heh heh. It's not perfect like Ape Escape, and even that had flaws. I just rated Dark Cloud 10 because a 9 is kinda
underserving,isn't it?
