Lara Croft and the Guardian of LIght
This is the most fun multiplayer game I've ever played. The co-op is so fun. Each character Lara and Totec. And they each have very different abilities. This is an isometretic shooter/puzzle game. The isometric parts are similar to gauntlent as you get different guns/flamethrowers, and an inventory. So it has Light RPG elements. There's also puzzles that are easier than found in typical tomb raider. But fit what it is trying to do. As they are clever, and require co-operation between two players. The gunfights... are simple but fun, as you also have bombs to move things and kill bad guys with.
The negatives. Are, it's a 15 dollar game so it's about 5 hours long... though replaying it is fun. And the story is bad. Not that it tried to be good. Not that it's unexpected. The graphics.... (I wish I would have boughten the PC version) are good quality but not near as pretty as Tomb Raider UnderWorld on PC.
Now on to #42 I think
#43 or 42 I have to check I can't find it. All in my opinion ofcourse
Final Fantasy IX. I originally had this ranked higher. But I've been playing it and it's gonna go lower. The plusses first.
Zidane Is the best Male Lead in Any Final Fantasy. and is imo the best lead in the whole series period.
Garnet is interesting, but it's the interactions with Zidane that make this special. I'll be honest... I like love stories >_>. The flirting dialogue is clever. And is a good change of pace from the "Destined to be together like FFIV, FFVIII, and FFX" This makes me at times want to rank it more highly.
The Garnet Cutting her hair scene is really cute
I also love the Eiko semi-but-not really love triangle she's so cute.
Steiner and Beatrix also Define Awesome.
The artstyle is incredibly charming. As well as the dialogue.
Quina is funny, even though she is quite possibly the stupidest idea for a character in the FF series, ever. I count this as a plus.
Queene Brahne is awesome.
The bad
Armarant and particularly freya are really bad characters.
The Story... Like FFXIII's has potential but really doesn't reach it. The characterization as I said above with Garnet and Zidane, Steiner, Eiko and Beatrixis the reason why I love it.
The battlesystem, is too slow even with ATB turned up. (And no I wasn't overleveled or dieing I've beat it 3 times) and I compared it directly to FFVIII by playing it right after it's too slow, and thus boring, and if a game revolves around battles... I think they slowed it down to accomadate 4 characters... but they didn't need to, and I don't like 4 characters anyways. It's too many pokemons.
The ability management system. While is good. Not as good as the Job System, GF Junction System, or Sphere Type Grid. imo Having to keep track of items without selling them to gain certain abilities is annoying. Especially when you have a better item you want to equip but can't. Because you're trying to learn another ability.
