2 out of 5 stars Unique, but incredibly annoying   November 18, 2004
 5 out of 7 found this review helpful

I admit, this game is a lot of fun... AT FIRST. The games style is uniquely fresh and i admire the attempt, however its time to get down to brass tacks. Frankly,the enemies are a mere annoyance in this game and pose no real threat at all. Its simply a matter of choosing the right form. And while u dont have to change to beat specific enemies, the game will never forgive you for it. A certain enemy has a shield, making it resistant to guns, and if u so much as think about shooting it the game will sound "Gun doesnt seem to work" "I dont think i should use gun" "thats not a good idea" I wouldnt mind if they only told you once, but no! Every 3 seconds they have to shout this. If u like playing games while listening to something other than the game its a rental for sure.


5 out of 5 stars Alter Echo: Strange, But Fun!!!!   November 13, 2004

Well I recently purchased this game. Now, I saw and read alot of reviews about this game and I was never really interested in it. Well finally one day when I didnt know what game to buy I bought it and let me tell you I'm glad I did.
Graphics: 10
The Graphics in this game are really interesting. From the sword slashes to the characters the graphics are really cool looking. The backrounds in this game are very strange and cool looking, so are the monsters, and truly do fit the game.
Story: 9
Even though I didn't understand it fully, the game did have an ok story. In the game you play as Nevin, a shaper. You are on a mission to stop a psychotic shaper named Pavo, whos trying to take over all of humanity with a substance he recently created called echo plast. Anyway as your flying in your ship you are attacked and fly out of your ship onto the planet of echoplast. When you wake up your wearing a strange suit made of echoplast and the echoplast begins to talk to you. Now its up to you to stop Pavo, with the help of the echoplast.
Gameplay: 10
This is indeed the games strong point. This game is a mixture of two diffrent types of games, hack and slash and third person shooter. The main part of the game play, of course, is destroying enemies, but the interesting part of this game is the ability to change Nevin into 3 diffrent forms: Stealth, Mele, and Shooting. Each form has its distinct advatages. The stealth form is wear you use a sword and can pull off really cool easy combos with it. The stealth form is really cool. Even though you look like a frog. Anyway in the stealth form you can do many diffrent things. You can change invisible to do stealth attacks and avoid some enemies. You also have a tounge you can use to smash enemies into the air. Your gun form is a slow moving robot looking form with a huge gun. This is a very useful form when attacking many enemies. The other cool thing about this is you can also buy upgrades and buy new moves and upgrades for your three forms and suit. One other cool thing about the gameplay is a little thing called time dialation. Its the ability to freeze time and brutally attack enemies. This is not like typical bullet time either. Once your time dialation meter is full you press R3. Your enemies are displayed by pictures of them. Theres a little blinking arrow at the bottom of the screen and with that you must use good timing to move it passed the ememies pictures. The longer you can move the arrow the more damage done to your enemies. Then after that a really cool cutseen will show and depending on witch form you chose, will show Nevin attacking the enemies. You only have to do one type of puzzel in this game too. Its called a sync node. Those work pretty much the same as time dialation. Overall the gameplay was really fun and interesting.
Overall alter echo was a great game. It was one of the most interesting and original games I ever played. I recommend anyone who wants to play something diffrent to pick this one up.
