The Shrine

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>This is a game all PS2 owners should get....unless they're wimps.

This game lives up to the legacy of it's prequels: it's HARD. And very good at the same time. I can't believe how well they translated the game to 3D. Everything is so well done: the music rules, the graphics are among the best on the PS2 for a platformer that I've seen, the level design is nothing short of brilliant, the atmosphere is amazing, the difficulty is where you would expect for a Ghouls 'N Ghosts game....the only issue is the camera. It's sucks. It's a part of the difficulty, I know, but it's just irritating. But the rest of the game is so good you can overlook that.

At least rent this game, it's that damned good....unless you're a wimp, of course. You WILL work hard to beat this game, there's no way you can do it in one sitting (took us around 20 or so hours to beat the first time through). But man is it ever satisfying to beat a game like this. i just wonder if I have to go through it again.......</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yea, it's definitely hard.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Now go beat Ikaruga, go now.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Garamond; text-align: left; '>I wish they'd put it on the Greatest Hits line-up...I'd have it in a second for $20</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>What happens if you beat the game with all the Princesses' kisses? My friend said he did it and it didn't give him anything, but I didn't see it for myself.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>It gives you a Gallery mode. He should be able to select it from the start menu. I didn't get it (missed one) but it should be there</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>It's $30 new right now, so you should be able to pick it up for $20 used easy</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Friday night. Got an exam 'til then. Give me a call, dammit</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Ah, ok, thanks.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Garamond; text-align: left; '>I rarely buy used games...usually only as a last resort after a system is dead...</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I'm exactly the opposite. I rarely buy a new game unless a system is dying, I REALLY want it (6 games a year at most nowadays), or I'm afraid there's gonna be a shortage</div>
