Despite naff graphics I am loving this Skies game. Picked it up along with 3 other games (see my £50 in cambridge thread) for a mere £19 and I can't imagine a closer RPG alternative to Zelda. Vast, expansive, encourages exploration and a deep story. In fact as storylines go it moves at a far faster pace than that Wind Waker game.

Great game, feels a bit like Starfox to play (not quite sure why) but of course i mean that in a good way.

If you can find it buy it. You won't regret it. Roll on Skies 2.

I might have to go back to the game after Film 2003.

Cheers for the help there, only one problem.. I don't have secondary cannons :S Did I miss the chance to buy them? I remember finding out about them on Pirate Island, but they were never for sale.. so I can't stop getting hit by the Giga. :(

Well what are the connons you do have in each of your ships four weapon slots?
It mostly only takes 1 shot to deflect his shots anyway, but the secondary cannons are there so you will at least be able to hit him at least once if something misses, and it will with only one cannon.

It gets better... a little. The last few levels are the best of a rather mediocre game. The weapons improve but remain nowhere as good a Timesplitters guns.

You don't get secondary cannons till later.

The final Delphinius combo + Increm on my game is sooo powerful!

I really like the moon gun (or is it cannon) it's really powerful against the really annoying non-story battles, I just like to take it out on the people that try to attack me for no reason.

What connon wasit that you start ut with then, i've forgotten already.

I am always hitting the Giga with the cannons, but unless it's with the harpoon cannon it never knocks it off-target :S

I wouldn't try to destroy the red gigas, it has infite health in the desert area, just try not to kill and try to survive.

That's what I'm doing!! But you can't survive while getting hit every turn and using up health items which I should be saving until Belleza. The only turn I avoid getting hit on is the one when I hit the Giga with the harpoon cannon.
