Forums - Gaming Discussion - Are there any Action RPG's out (ala Champions of Norrath)?

I'm looking for an action RPG to play with a friend on the current gen consoles.  I have all 3, though would probably prefer it not be on the Wii.  We've already played Untold Legends on the PS3 and Marvel Alliance.  I can't find any others.  What else is there?  Anything?

The best Action RPGs are on PC, there's several of them. Sacred 2 was recently released.

 Yeah, unfortunatly PC isn't an option here.  We want to play local co-op.  Not sure if thats possible on one computer, and if it is, I certainly don't have it set up for that.  But I'm sure i'll be playing me some diablo 3 once it comes out.

Sacred 2 is coming to consoles in a few months.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

Does Fable II classify as an ARPG?

Well, there's Fable 2, even though Player 2 is just along for the ride.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I am also a fan of Champions and as mention secared 2 is coming to the xbox 360 with a planned February 2009 release, that seems to be the closest thing



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

Yup.

I think pretty much the same day as the PS3 release.

I've got the Sacred 2 demo for the PC but have yet to fire it up.

Tales of Vesperia has 1-4 local co-op in battles.



Tales of Vesperia (X360 - $56)
Tales of Symphonia (Wii - $36)

Also, Secret of Mana is available on the VC in NA, which is one of the best ARPGs ever.


I don't know why you would prefer a non-wii game. Especially when you can pick it up for $36




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
