Gamecube baten kaitos
It knows your expectations before you do and plays with them. It plays off of J-RPG clichés with grace, style, and irreverence. The plot outline is pretty simple, but you gotta watch it happen for it to work. The story itself is true to the game’s off-Square Enix roots, creating a jumbled mess of plots and twists. Motoi Sakuraba, a man with such power in his music that it will one day overwhelm, consume, and transform him into the end of civilization as we know it, does his best Yasunori Mitsuda impersonation (but never forgets to do 3threeand-a-half-minute-long prog-rock dungeon songs in E minor), and the two together create an unfathomably REAL fantasy atmosphere. Baten Kaitos Origins easily has the best graphics I’ve ever seen on the GameCube, and not just the graphics themselves, but the level of creativity they soar to. There was not a second of time when this game did not have my attention.

Which is a shame, because Baten Kaitos Origins is a work of art. I was lucky enough to tolerate it, and whether you do will completely make or break the game for you. All you can do is play and see the decision being made for you. It’s love or hate, and you don’t get to choose. Card-based games are for only a select group of people-most everyone else is turned off. I know you know that, but I had to start this paragraph somehow. Now, too many cooks spoil the goose normally, but all these people came together and just banged out one incredible RPG experience for the perpetually underwhelming ‘Cube.īaten Kaitos Origins is a card-based game. There’s Monolith Software, Tri-Crescendo, NAMCO and someone else. Anyway, this game is some kind of succulent union between two or three or four companies, I don’t really know. “Dude, I’m standing right in front of you….” “Hey! You got your Tales of Symphonia in my Chrono Cross, and your thumb up my ass!” “Hey! You got your Chrono Cross in my Tales of Symphonia!” So how did this game start out, anyway? I have an idea: I don’t know how this game matches up to the first one, so this review will be written for the reader who has never tried any Baten Kaitos games at all. I’d only ever played one good card game, and that was-you never saw this coming-Dragonball Z: Legend of the Supersaiyan, so I didn’t want to try the original BK. Here’s the thing: I’ve never played Baten Kaitos. God, a man goes through such blind exuberance only TWICE in his life! I’m guessing losing my virginity would be the second time, but I’ll be a grandfather by then, so this was definitely my first.

I bought it and Metroid Prime Pinball ($3 new! This is K-Mart, people!) and got change back for a $20. I ended up buying it anyway, because the K-Mart in town, the legendary underwhelmence store where I bought my NES and Game Boy and Game Boy Advance, had many copies of it on sale for $10. I read up on Baten Kaitos Origins I read the lackluster reviews and inconsistent comments and opinions, and the only thing I got out of it was half an erection.
