"How fantastic is skies of Arcadia?"

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.

eBay - £19.

I've finally found a place that sells it (www.thegamexchange.com - £31.99+p&p) and therefore, I should be experiencing this fine RPG by the end of the week (...providing they HAVE got it in-stock)! :D

Or you could try www.cd-wow.com, who do it for a pound more, with no p&p.
However, I do not know if they actually have it in-stock, and chances are (like many of their DVDs), this could be the Australian-PAL version of the game (...just incase that were to bother anyone?).


I'm glad I've finally found it though.
But perhaps it is a bad-time to be buying it, with Mario Kart, F-Zero, Hit and Run and Viewtiful Joe just-around-the-corner...??

It's on my "waiting till I can get it for £15 on eBay" list.

The further you get the better Skies get. There are so many moments that you know you'll remember packed up into one game; the atmosphere is also superb, especially in places like Lower Valua.

As for the graphics, I really like them.
