Galerians: ASH

THE BAD:
Repetetive battles, loads of pointless puzzles and "Find the item before you can continue" quests. Minimal storyline, and character interaction.

SUMMARY:
The background story behind the game is interesting, even for someone like me who never played the first game. The first few hours of gameplay are entertaining and involving, but as the newness of the combat system and storyline wears off, the serious lack of options in combat and significant plot development leaves the player bored, and tired of doing the same thing over and over. It's fun for rent, but not worth the money to buy. It's likely to have some following, but only hard core fans of the first one, and real puzzle junkies are likely to want this title.
