Odin Sphere - PS2's hidden gem.

[Robert1986]

I can't believe at how much this game has been ignored. Its one of the best games on the Playstation 2 and is going down the same path as beyond good and evil,okami and psychonauts. Great games that fail in sales because they don't appeal to the mainstream, quite sad.

Has anyone had a chance to play this game? You can pick it for around £10-15 now. Really worth a go. It came out a few months ago btw.

I recommended this game to someone a few weeks ago. They bought Viking instead.

You know who you are! .

Bought this the day it came out, its bloody fantastic. The graphics, the music, the story everything. The only bad thing is that it can be incredibly challenging and the enemies cheap their way to beating your ass.
