Promise Fulfilled...only one gajillion to go! Huzzah!

Yep yep, I'm here posting on ye olde blogge. Why? Because my youngest brother happens to be hogging and playing my game that is Kingdom Hearts II. It's not like I have anything against that, but it's my game and I get to play on it. Granted I haven't asked him yet, because I feel he should get a bit more time, so I'm giving him until I finish this post.

Anyways, yes, Shadow of Memories, what can I say about this ancient PS2 game? I loved it. I have been wanting to play this game ever since it came out back a couple of years ago, and I finally play it. I had a little problem with the pronounciation of the main character's, Eike Kusch, name. In my experience, since I'm guessing it's of German origin, it should be pronounced "I-kuh Koosh" not "Ike Kush". But anyway, the voice-acting more than made up for it, sure the minor characters sounded kinda daft and surfer-dude-ish, but the main characters were done well.

Lessee...Ah yes, what the game's about? Well, it's about Eike Kusch's quest to prevent his death. He has no memory of his early life, nor of his parents, and doesn't seem all that bothered about it. One day he's killed, and next he wakes up in a strange place, with a dejected voice explaining to him what happened and that it's going to be generous and give him the means to ensure his survival. The game is comprised of 8 chapters, and at the beginning of each one the poor guy dies in various fashions, thus the goal is to prevent his death. Actually, he only dies at the beginning of the first 7 chapters, the 8th is the climax where you discover who is out to get Eike.

The graphics are really good for their time, and the music is done so well that I never played this game at night. Yes, it creeped me out that much. Then again, I'm soft that way, but still, good music. There are around 6 endings to this game, and I only unlocked Ending A, because as you know, I'm playing KH II. There also so many different scenes to open up in this game, no two choices will yield the same result...unless you did it on purpose, then yeah. Otherwise to get 100% on each chapter, you'll have to goe through the game a few times and try out different responses.

All in all, as you also know, I really enjoyed this game. It's a really good mystery game, no fighting or boss battles involved!
