El Shaddai Review

El Shaddai Review
I had cleared PS3 and Xbox360's El Shaddai. So here is the review.
You have played that huh.
This game had been HOT among Japan Internet since 10 months before launch. How about that?
I never expect it is such a GAME. Be honest, really GREAT.
Wow, that good huh.
It's an action game, but the world setting is huge and the visual is overpowering.ゲAny one scene could be some kind of art, the developer really got a sense.
The graphic aspect you mean?
Graphic is one thing, and they've got a sense of humor too. That depends on users' sensation, so may not be a merit though.
How about the gameplay? You said it is an action game.
Well, just repeat evade or defense from enemy's attack and kill them. There are 3 types of weapon, you need to use them according to the types of enemy. You can take away weapon from enemy or pick up from the field..
Need to remember the types huh.
There are tricks which can visualize the types so not a problem. And you need to pass through various traps on the field. And some weapons can help you go through some traps, so weapon types matter here too. Many games would game over once you fall into a trap, but this game only the armor gauge would decrease and you can challenge the trap again easily. It would game over if the armor gauge become 0 though.
Huh.
Some fields are difficult to identify the altitude, that's a bad point. Well, that's related to the world setting. We can only watch our shadow to identify the landing point and jump through the path. As said, you can challenge at the point you failed easily, so not that stressful.
Just the same as other games huh.
There is a special system for game over. When your armor gauge become 0, you're dead, but you can resurrect by pushing the button frequently. If you die too much, you need to push more button within certain time, but you could still resurrect so even boss can be killed by your effort. Enemy in the later part is not that easy though.
Any other interesting points?
Many cut scenes. That maybe necessary for showing the world, but not all people would like that.
The problem of balance huh. Too much movie would make it like a compulsory activity.
And the music really match the world. This is why it got HOT before launch.
Many beautiful tracks.
Some people may avoid original game, but this really worth playing. Even though you are not so familiar with action game, you can clear it if you have played Mario. It has an EASY MODE too. Let's play at a large TV and dark room to enjoy the world.
