Phantom Dust is probably one of the best unknown games for the X-Box. It's a budget title ($20), has great online play, great graphics and good gameplay. It's like someone took card battles nad gave it a swift kick in the face. You assign attacks to the four buttons A,B,X and Y. Attacking and defending is as simple as that, there are different colors to represent different abilities. Blue is defense, Red is attack and Yellow are special abilities.

The places you battle on are amazing as well. They are almost completely destructible which can deal more damage to your enimies. There is also a sense of strategy that comes with the game, when you assemble you're arsenal of abbilities. It can be your biggest weakness or your biggest strength.

The only real downside to the game is that there is not a lot of voiceover and the game can be very slowmoving at times, especially when you're at home base just talking to NPC's. None the less this game is great, and will be a good gem to your X-Box collection.

Phantom dust came out and not many people seemed to notice it which is sad since it's such a good game.

The first thing you will notice is the weird art style of the game, the characters in the game look really weird but they match up with the weird story in the game. I won't give any of it away but it is strange enough to keep you intrigued the whole way through.

Gameplay is fun and addictive, in order to attack you must first have an attack to choose then enough energy to use it. This adds strategy to the game, you need to figure out if the high energy attacks are worth it or lesser ones should be used. There are many different attacks and defenses in the game and to earn them you have to collect them sort of like trading cards, and to fight you must have a deck of these attacks, defenses, and energy cards. Building your deck is crucial to success and making a strategy is really fun. For example one of my decks had a move where i could use a very strong attack but only once i'm down to a low health so i had to figure out if i wanted to risk a loss to win or play it safe and keep my health high. That kind of strategy is what makes the game fun.

It has online which you can play if you want to try your strength against other player's decks and it has split screen so the multiplayer is there for those who want a challenge.

You should check this game out now it is easily a good game that slipped through the cracks of many gamers.

Two words, EPIC WIN!!!
this is my all time favorite game! Phantom Dust had the best and most original gameplay ever. The graphics and character design where not so divine but the stoy and gameplay easily overcompensate. This is a game I wan't my future children to play, I still have the game case and manuel and I will keep it until then.

I'f you don't like phantom Dust, then you despise videogames!
