As I predicted the reviews from America have begun appearing on websites. They are coming thick and fast and unfortunately one of the games that I was looking forward too has received bad reviews from almost everyone.

Summoner seems to have failed to live up to its potential and although it is supposed to be above average it has many flaws. I wont repeat them parrot fashion as I am sure that you can find the reviews yourself.

Anyway, SSX has received rave reviews from everywhere and most agree that it is THE game to buy with your new PS2. You have been warned. I have SSX on order and will be picking up TTT as well.

ign said that it is the best RPG current available (refering to the US release) and said that although it has some flaws it is actually very good. I think the problem may have been that it was hyped so much, it would be difficult to live up to.

Maybe the world Slated was too harsh for Summoner as many said it is okay just not great.

BUT

From what I hear Orphen is absolutely 'orphul' (sorry terrible pun. Apparently it looks fine until it starts moving. Thus the screenshots look great but the game sucks.

I haven't read any reviews yet, and I can't swear that it's a 'true' RPG, but Orphen *looks* fantastic.

If i were to get an RPG for my Playstation 2 I would wait for Dark Cloud, it looks a lot better quality than Summoner. Also, SSX Snowboarding has been in development for 3 years to get the physics of the snowboards right so it HAS to be good. Im getting RR 5 and TTT for my PS2, Ill look at SSX when the PS2 is released. Sports games and snowboarding games arent usually my thing.
