some people complain about it, i revel in the realism.movement is my only gripe.
from www.amazon.com
i like a game for realism, and in syphon filter i get that.
from www.amazon.com
the game has a nice degree of realism and the more covert missions are true to form by forceing you to use every sneaky trick in the book just to get your objectives done, let alone get out alive.
from www.amazon.com
the guns were cool, the enemies were realistic, and best of all, there's no 'lives remaining'!
from www.amazon.com
the graphics are superb, the gameplay is so realistic, because you have no imaginary weapons, like doom, and quake's alien blasters.

Final Fantasy IX

$20.00 Est. at Amazon

from htown1397, www.shopping.com
the bottom line: i think this game should be for people who like realistic games where you do basically what ever you want and level up and become stronger.
from www.amazon.com
the game is a departure from the realism and bleak futurism of 7 and 8...it's a return to the style of 4 (us 2) and 6 (us 3) that were huge hits when they were released on the snes.
from www.amazon.com
this game is not very realistic but i love it, if you were one of the many people to play final fantasy 8 you might think that they are simler but they don't come close.
from www.amazon.com
the characters are interesting, the way they react to each other is realistic, and you grow to care about them as the game progresses.
from www.amazon.com
with the previous playstation ff games the thinking was that the more technologically able the programmers became, the more realistic the game should look.
