I have seen it on Amazon for about £30 and I donjt really follow games but was there like any hype on this? I very much enjoyed Skies Of Arcadia for the dreamcast some say it is better than FF10 and now that it has switched consoles is it any good?
Certainly an improvement in graphics will be expected and less choppy-ness should be there but like most games coming up today how long will it be?

Only the best of Rpg games are now long and the most are short to complete with bad replay value even the ones with replay value are not that worth going through again also does it lead on from Skies Of Arcadia or is it a completely seperate story? I am guessing Roy from super smash bros melee is the main character as he was from future rekease and fits the bill but who knows?

So what im really asking is do you think this game will bea the original?
Is it worth £30?

Legends is fantastic. Really.

It took me about 80 hours to complete it, so unless you have a lot of spare time, I don't suggest you get it.

But if you do, it's fantastic, and you'll enjoy every moment.

Yes it did and the front cover of the dreamcast one looked better as well.

I have both versions of Skies of Arcadia, and although I haven't played as far as I did on the Dreamcast version (though only through lack of time) I have to say its worth getting.

Graphically it looks the same, though there are a few slight differences to the game that I've noticed already.

Is it just me or did the Dreamcast version sound better?

Kirby Air Ride and Mario & Luigi are certainly original titles, and Mario & Donkey Kong looks to be the best. Nintendo just haven't had the right ideas for the big-name franchises.

There is a sequel in the works that will *hopefully* be shown at E3, but what with a PC port mid-way through development I doubt we'll see it any time soon.

From what I've heard, it's more of an extended version with extra discoveries and the like. Oh, and Roy isn't in it.. at all. It's a Sega game.

Very, very brilliant though.

Yesh very true but this is a sequel so you never could be a Final Fantasy 6 to 7 type thing or it could be a Syphon Filter to Syphon Filter 2 type of sequel.

I'd get it even if you've completed it on the 'Cast.

Tis genius.
