Suidoken

SYSTEM: Sony Playstation
DEVELOPER: Konami
PRODUCER: Konami
PRICE: $60 Canadian, $50 U.S.
RATED: Everyone/Kids to adults (Does use bad language though)

Suikoden is a great game! It is almost everything you could ask for in an RPG! The story is great, the graphics look a little on the 16-bit side, but are still crisp; you can recruit up to 108 characters, there is 3 types of battles and the interface is easy to
use.

The game starts off with you, the son of General Teo McDohl of the Empire. Your father is leaving for a mission up North so you are left with your guardian (Gremio), and a few friends ( Cleo, Pahn and Ted). Camander Kraze is your new boss who
sends you on a few arrands, this is where the young McDohl sees the world on his own for the first time and he realises that the empire is the bad guys.

Soon after that Pahn turns on you and you join the Liberation Army. From here, you do a few arrands until the leader of the Liberation Army, Oddessa Silverberg dies and you become the new leader. This is where the game opens up and you get a castle for the new HQ and you recruit new members and help defend the world against the empire.

There are three types of battles: one on one, army on army and regular party battles. The one-on-one are pretty flashy and 3D where you and a boss face off. The army-army battles are a lot like Dragon Force; you select an attack (arrows, magic or charge) and it works a lot like paper, rock, scissors.
