  • If I wanted to look at pretty colors, I'd go watch one of the many hundred CGI movies they have out. This game has no place. Its plain boring.

  • This game sucks. Not worth the 15 bucks. 

  • Comment removed

  • This guy needs to narrarate my life.

  • This guy sounds so bored lol

  • i would recommend anyone to play this game! ^w^*

  • This is my favorite PS3 game, ever

  • the music remindes from medival from ps1:)

  • Thumbs up for a folklore 2!

  • This game is like an improved version of Lost Kingdoms.

  • 240p??????????????????????????­????

  • I love it when designers take time to make sets worth walking through instead of running through. That makes all the difference doesn't it?

  • Are there trophies for this game?

  • @volvonate no

  • Great review

  • This is such a beautiful game and I noticed its flaws but no game is ever perfect really, like take Uncharted 2 for example, BEST graphics for any game to date, BEST story-line and game-play is fucking amazing, not to mention the Multi-player, but Uncharted still had flaws even though there were few, it still had flaws. Same with Epic games like AC, FF13, Ninja Gaiden, etc.

    Overall though this game is very soothing, the environments are stunning and I may buy this game and do it fully :) x

  • Picked this game up a couple weeks ago brand new for $5 bucks, just awesome!

  • @somerandomkrn, I do prefer the 360 for shooters, but why would I pick up a PS3 when the games that are more popular are the shooters, just like the 360? Games like Folklore are few and far between...on the PS3. But I don't just prefer the 360 for the shooters, it's also XBLA and the 360's app section-XBLIG.

  • I prefer the Xbox 360 but I had a chance to play a lot of this game and it's a masterpiece. If more people would've bought this game, it would've set the tone for the PS3 and people wouldn't be spending there money on shooters.

  • @INDAMIXOFACTION if I'm not mistaken, it is Xbox360 that is more intended for shooters. Since you hinted that you don't like shooters much, what games made you prefer X360 to Ps3? (Just a simple question out of curiosity. not judging your preferences or anything..)

  • Im gonna but this today

  • how come the best games always have to be exclusive,kinda sux cuz 90% multiplatform are not worth their money

  • its also like poke'mon with capturing of the folk and using them in battle...so it's like a gothic kingdom hearts fused with pocket monster elements

  • this is like a gothic version of kingdom hearts

  • Wow. Looks really good, but too gloomy for my tastes. :/

  • that guy looks like otacon

  • @ledZeppelin7680 WOW I never thought about it, but it's true!

  • I saw this at Best Buy yesterday. I should have picked it up.

  • games where you can't pinpoint to a particular genre, and are actually quite unique and amazing and play well are the games really worth playing and owning.

  • Doolin is nilood spelled backwards! Oh my goooood!

  • Honestly xbox fanboys will always say oh this looks like a copy of fable 3 when in reality fable 3 is not as good as this. Fable 3 is great but ps3 has the best exclusives IMO. 360 has its share of games but 360 exclusives were definitely not the best forza 4 seems like the only good one

  • @Animekingification I have both systems and comparing them is like comparing a tree with a toad they're completely different. PS3 has better specs and has a Blu Ray player. Xbox 360 has better online features for example Party chat. Please don't talk about exclusives because at the end of the day it's all opinion based. MGS4 is awesome as is GOW 1. PEACE

  • Wow. Ive seen this game on the shelves of the upstate ny region (obviously where I live) all the time and never bothered to pick it up. I decided to yesterday. Pretty sweet

  • OMG! this looks sexy

  • I like my xbox but its hard watching ps3 get better games,I have to admit it....since its getting tales of graces f I've been bummed out! How much is a ps3 new or used? B-day coming up soon ;)

  • Keats is a badass and has a Devil May Cry like feel to him.

  • I think I'll get this game, but why isn't it popular??!!! I don't remember seeing it in stores in my country!!!

  • @PrinceOF9Imagination That's the exact reason why it wasn't popular, it was one of those titles that would only have 1-2 copies in a store. Plus reviews (IGN may have given it 9/10 but its metacritic score is like 75...do the math) and pre-hype (well lack of) didn't do it justice, plus ps3 exclusives seemed to be everyone's punchbags at the time. If this game had been released a couple of years later it would have done way better.

  • I couldn't find it T_T

    Why do you think they don't make more copies?? I can't even find FF10 and FF12 @.@

    I have the japanese version that's why I coudn't beat them!!!

  • @PrinceOF9Imagination 3 simple words....Supply and Demand. If there are no sales and demand for a game, they wont make many. plus all games go out of print eventually its inevitable, sales and popularity are what decide how long that time is, both which folklore lacked. Ive found a few copies here and there, it is one of those rarer games to find. remember ps3 is region free so dont be afraid to use ebay to get a copy, cause it will work regardless where the games from.

  • im praying for folklore 2

  • @sond641 hate to be the bearer of bad news but Game Republic went bust. So the chances of that happening are 0. Which is good imo, games like this lose their specialness and charm when there's a squeal released.

  • I love these games .... world hates these games..... they prefer GTA , PES, or Mario.... =(

  • well, those games teach us lots of things, right? :)

    But games like GTA teach kids how go crazy and kill ppl. So be happy cuz ur 1 of ppl who like those special games :)

  • 2:19 - 2:38 purple weed leafs?

  • A hidden gem of the PS3

  • I love how Keats and Ellen has two completely different combat styles. Keats is more offensive rushdown focused with all his destruction moves and Ellen is more defensive and strategic with all her charm/status moves. Fun game. Definitely play this.

  • I could do better narration than this even when I'm stone-dead tired.

  • oh how excited he sounds to review this game

    

  • i love this game, its got the collecting aspect which is alway good (like pokemon but not as many) the fighting not only takes skill but you have to be smart in knowing what creature is best in each fight. and the art work is so great that at time you just want to stop and stare at the sorroundings. six axis is used as a gimmic but it doesnt ruin the game ( just wish it had trophies) also if they release a 2nd one im gonna have an heart attack from exitement.

  • @tonyp1928 I just got it and i'm enjoying it and i really do hope they'll have a 2nd one. All most like a gothic kind of game huh?

  • @Thornageable i agree its very gothic and mystical, and thats one genre ps3 are currently lacking in my opinion

  • @tonyp1928 I would thumbs up, but I don't say that. Take Kingdoms of Amalur or Skyrim for example. They are really working on the fantasy type games now. I think you should look out for other upcoming fantasy games that I consider looking into. In general, I would recommend a nice well done fantasy game. It gives the power of a whole to world for the players to explore. What I consider boring, are probably games out there like Spore Hero for Wii that failed giving out its best fantasy gameplay.

  • You sound really intelligent.

  • ...........ow.....no..........­... *stealing money from parents* I'LL WATCH THE REST OF THE REVIEW AFTER PLAYING THIS :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  • Man i allmost got this game but i wasn't sure about it and i think i might like it. Maybe next time.

  • OMG, it's a Naaru! (2:40)

  • This game got 9,0 fable 3 got 8.5 or 8 i cant remember..

  • eeeeeeeepiiiiiiic!

  • This game is so underrated. Great game.

  • Marine commercial on a video game review... they're the pink elephant in the room, I swear to god.

  • looks like a crappy version of fable 3...

  • @xbox0rox are you a frikkin idiot this game is four years old you retard

  • @Pyromania37 oooooh soz lad someones on their period. still looks like a crappy fable 3, i didnt say it copied fable 3 did i? no. read the comment properly next time you "frikkin" idiot "retard" lmao stupid yank.

  • @xbox0rox let me guess, your english? is yank supposed to mean amarican since im not even close to being amarican.

  • @Pyromania37 i certainly am english. well if your not american then why are you talking like one? fable 3 is still better anyway, just face it.

  • @xbox0rox Fable is a dead series, and btw considering the amount of hype and money thrown into Fable 3, Folklore shits all over it. Plus who cares id rather play Dragon Age and Elder Scrolls over both games any day of the year.

  • @cjrondo888 Fable is dead? i dont think so, do you own an xbox?! fable 3 was hyped, but it definately lived up to it! and how can folklore shit all over it, i bet more people have heard of and played fable. (not saying that makes a better game btw) but shows that fable is more popular. and i agree, who cares, elder scrolls kicks ass, oblivion here i come!!

  • @xbox0rox true more people have probably herd of fable and played it. But i bet more people have heard and played Final Fantasy 13, and yet everyone is saying that series is dying. As for living up to the hype, it has the worst Metacritic score of the three, was #3 in IGN's biggest disappointments of 2010 and have you read some of the reception its been getting by fans? I've only played Fable a little but have you played folklore too? you cant judge the game based on a 5 1/2 min video.

  • @cjrondo888 well i wouldnt know about ff13, havent played it coz its not my type of game. yes i have, played it for a bit but thought it wasnt that good compared to fable. which is what i said in the begining, but seems like people cant like new games OR have an opinion anymore... aah gamers eh??

  • @xbox0rox well i apologize but your initial comment "Looks like" seemed to suggest you hadn't, and anyone can have an opinion, but everyone is different. I mean i personally think Fable III was overrated (review score wise), not that i think the game was bad at all, but there are just some things wrong with it that other titles would have been ripped apart for having (e.g all the glitches, and the easiness of the game). But in saying that IGN overrated Folklore (defs not a 9/10 game).

  • @cjrondo888 hmm it does a bit i guess, watched this then played it then came back and commented. guess i was a bit moody at the time :P hmm yeah i would give fable 7 maybe 8, and i agree, some games they rip which are, in all fairness, better than fable. *tron legacy* (lets not start on that one, i think im the only person who loves that game :P) i think they seem to "prefer" what people want them to, such as cod.

  • @xbox0rox Mongoloid

  • @nomis101uk erm, what ever that is. i guess? 

  • @xbox0rox

    umm how does is this game anything like Fable 3? the combat system, the settings, everything is entirely different from fable 3. Really curious how you came to that conclusion. Not trying to say if one games better than the other(since that's really subjective) but just can't figure out how you found similarity between folklore and fable 3

  • @Peter47890 just the feel of it. yeah the settings are different but comparing folklore and fable 3 is like comparing skate to tony hawks games. to me anyway, just stated my opinion :) suppose its okay but I just prefer fable 3 :)

  • great game. just got folklore... amazing.

  • snake:.....otacon

    otacon:what snake?

    snake:is that you?

    otacon:wh-that guy?hes my ancestor,Keats emmerich

    Snake: .........

  • @ThaDRP black ops is so overrated. its a good game dnt get me wrong but its just another online shoot 'em up. get me bruv. xD

  • i would deffinatly play that. looks really good!

  • i love this game

  • The only thing that sucks about this game is finding it.

  • Best atmospheric soundtrack, ever.

    Buying a PS3 again so I can go back an beat it.

  • Is that guy Otacon?

  • I couldn't get into this game. When I first saw stuff, I was thinking more of Indigo Prophecy, but it wasn't. I liked the story, but the gameplay bored me :\

  • i loooove this game. playing it right now :) it's extremely refreshing to see the girl in this is not a teenager or a child. she's defiantly more of a young adult (like in her early 20's), which is nice. love the story line, keeps you guessing :)

  • this is a great game. i just bought it today. i have played it before too.

  • alright if you dont like ign, this review, or jrpgs, then GTFO and stop wasting your time commenting about how much you hate it. losers. go do something you actually like doing then. no one is forcing you to watch this!!

  • To low IQ kids complaining about reviewer i feel sorry for your ignorance.

  • :( Dammit..The reviewer made me fall asleep and I missed the review..

  • @Tanyu22 Lol in other words, every game sucks? because every concept, art-work, idea, gamestyle, development comes from the land of the sun. Use your brain next time.

  • @Tanyu22 Just 'cause you don't like it, doesn't mean it sucks. Besides...why watch videos of games you don't like?

    I loved it, has a great feel to it.

  • @Tanyu22 its a game based in ireland

  • @Tanyu22 better then any COD game ill tell u that.....

  • @Tanyu22 you remind me of a friend of mine....

    its just so stupid that people like you hate very good games like yakuza,folklore,final fantasy,resident evil,metal gear solid & many others.

    if you love so much games by microsoft\valve\other english game companies then go have sex with your Xbox!

  • @Oasistudios Dun dun dun...another moron enters the arena.

  • Sounds like the reviewer reviewed this game right after his grandmother died.

  • mna i have a problem with this game when i want to play it they show a message error (80028F10) you can't play this game with this video outputs adjust what i can do! sorry bad inglish!

  • i just got this while i was geting my ps2

  • A girl receives a letter from her dead mother which tells her she want her to go to some town so they can meet. Where have I heard this story before? Hmm... Ah! That's right, Silent Hill 2.

  • this game looks retarded

  • @thedarkriver1 shut up asshole.

  • @flannel2000 Mate, you can't deny he has such a boring voice. He's not enthusiastic at all. Awful, awful narrative.

  • @Froggen88 He is being relaxed and somewhat trying to be poetic and mystical. That must be respected!

  • i like this game

  • Ahhh....i miss the days IGN knew how to do a proper review.

  • i own this but still havent played it, same with valkyria chronicles. Ive just been gathering ps3 exclusives. looks interesting though, Im just not a big rpg person.

  • @skankinruby I've been doing the same thing tbh. Although I tend to play either MAG, MGO, RDR or LBP.

    I think I've only actually finished the Singleplayer for MGS4 and RDR...

  • @DeASplode

    lol nice, yeah theres games ive gone through 4-5 times like uncharted, infamous, and resistance. but then ill hold on to games like this for a year before I play them lol

  • I hate when game reviewers say "Give this game a try" you don't give games a try, you buy them or you don't lol, no one rents games anymore

  • @WhatTheTech Well, then I'm no one. I like to know what Im getting into before blowing 50 bucks.

  • @Silverslate Well theres something else entirely to be said about people who pay $50 for a game.

  • @WhatTheTech you buy a game and you can sell it on ebay for a little less or same price thats what i call give it a try.

  • Oh I SOOOO regret not getting this when I had the chance 

  • It was this review that made me hunt down this gmae. I enjoyed playing the game it has a great gameplay system and a excellent story. seriously the wanting to find out what happens literley forces u to continue playing. i personly didnt mind the six-axis usage its a big hard to get use to at first but after a while it becomes second nature, when u see an id pop up u will atomaticly just flick the controller without knowing. overall solid game not a classic but u will enjoy playing it.

  • he is reading a script. that's why

  • It's never paused on me after I used the attack chooser screen thing.. odd

  • better then final fantasy 13

  • @VAST56 LOL bullshit!

  • Is it just me, or is this guy monotone?

  • The OST for this game is a masterpiece.

  • I got this game today, and I'm loving it ! but do i have to play ellen and keats at the same time ?

    like when I finish with ellen chapter 1, should i go with keats to keep up the story? or it's the same?

  • @TehPure i alrternate them

  • @TehPure its up to u, its better to play alternate them to understand the story, but eventually ull need ellen to get to a certain point for keats to proceed. i say play ellen first and then keats.

  • @TehPure : I tend to play both, Ellen first then Keats, they do same stuff but you get different folks with each person.

  • this game seems pretty cool, but something tells me am going to have to order from america..

  • Although this is definitely not the best rpg out there, the ps3 seriously needs more games like this. AND they need to be better marketed so that more people are aware of such a great game!

  • @Crashandburn999 This game is alot better than Genji. But then Game republic fucked it up with the 6 axis controller. Its fun to yank the ID out with a flick of the controller, but after a while IT REALLY wears its charm. I just wanted to go to the settings and turn it off. It gets more annoying when you try to pull the ID out of a Boss. Thats an annoying timing sequence that will make you sweat. But still, its a very unique game in the theme and style. Thank god New PS3 games dont use 6 axis

  • @WallyWadeMovies I still rather the six axis for that than a button. The idea of using a button sounds weird lol.

  • @WallyWadeMovies : I really hate the timing absorb, especially on the Exedra id ( Keats) -I like the beat absorb. Its a love game though with great graphics and nice soundtrack. I have never been able to finish it though.

  • this reviewer bores the shit out of me...

  • @AudioCorps let me guess... Cod fan?

  • @ManoKiaule ???

  • @mantas619 That opinion is coming from the guy with Runescape videos as uploads. this game is one of the most underrated games for the PS3, amazing story, fun gameplay and great cinematics.

    Play it before you judge it

  • this game just starts 2 freak me out out of nowhere but the game is cool

  • it seems that no matter what, it always seems that as a female character develops through a game....she loses clothes, or gets new clothes with insane amounts of cleavage

  • I got this for $4.95 in rc willey :)

  • I bought this game today at gamestop 20$ just 1 copy XD!!! and is awesome!!!

  • Just got this for $12 =D

  • @DragardKaos

    im thinking of playing this. did you like it?

  • @bryandPR I like it so far. It reminds me of some Shaman King game for the GBA and Castlevania series with the ability to use monster's attacks. Good action RPG :)

  • @DragardKaos

    oh thanks for the reply. glad to hear that. i read that this game was created by the person who made the shin megami tensei series so now im even more pumped about playing this game.

  • i was going to buy it today but couldn't find it in any store :(

    - -'

  • @lennert1337 ya this game is a rare find now.... i got luckey at a gamestop they only had one copy out of 5 of the closest gamestops..... but i hunted it down because i rented it when it first came out and it was amazingn but i just forgot it then i had a random dream about it and i had to play this again!!! hunt it down no matter how long it takes it W"ILL be worth it !!!!!

  • the game reminds a little bit of pan's labyrinth.

  • I like this game

  • the graphics is like ps2

  • @imilkdude Lol, what? These graphics are much better than PS2 graphics...

  • Great game, I was playing this with my friend and he was like "Is this a kids game?" ... Just because it isn't mindless shooting, swearing and bloody violence, it's automatically a kids game... annoyed me that did, I'm gonna bully him tomorrow lol :P

  • @HateCoD "I'm gonna bully him tomorrow" says the person who doesin't like being classified as a kid.

  • @Writersblock39 What? NOWHERE during that text can you read that HateCoD dislikes being classified as a child. He/she simply said that the person he/she was playing it thought the game where a kids game. Not exactly the same as being called a kid.

  • @thebigbadmonkey I said being classified as a kid. Thus his being offended by the fact that someone thinks this is a kids game seems to prompt the thought of him being classified as a kid himself seemed to offend him. However, I wasn't talking to you in the first place so how about 'cha sit on a cock and fuck off?

  • @Writersblock39 Hahahaha that gave me kinda a funny image of like riding away on someones cock, using it like a a saddle and the person whom the cock belongs to as a motorcycle :D dude, seriously, if you wanna insult someone, stop with the gay insults. Be a little more creative or else it's no fun trolling you...

  • @thebigbadmonkey Rule of troll # 1 do not admit you are trolling. Troll fail.

  • *Grabs a shield to protect himself* Final fantasy 13 sucked, this looks so much better...

    and this is coming from a Final Fantasy fan! after 12 and 13 I give up on final fantasy!

  • @Chris8990123 Final Fantasy XIII was good... albeit 20 hours in when it opens up. I didn't mind the linear fashion of the game anyhow.

  • @Chris8990123 Couldn't agree with you more, 12 was such a disappointment, played hours after hours trying to find good in the game and i finally finished it, oh how very disappointed i was, wasn't too excited with 13 but just watching game-play videos made me want to vomit and I HAD to pass on the game. I'm just hoping Versus XIII does the franchise justice

  • @DBOnlineBibidiboom yep yep! totally agree with the Versus too! that game so better do better then 13! if versus sucks, i am not ever buying final fantasys again.

  • @Chris8990123 how the hell could u say final fantasy 13 sucked no final fantasy game can suck and if u were a true fan youd fucking know that

  • @tie011 13 was ass

  • @tie011 They kind of concentrated on the combat system rather than the story in FF13, that's why it was a disappointment to many people.

  • @KnightSauro were thinking completlly opposite here i thought it was the other way around i loved the story

  • @tie011 Well, that's good then, because that's what FF is all about. It's not about the combat-system and how powerful your weapons are, it is about the stories they tell. If I wanted to play a action-filled game with no good story, I'd choose CoD MW2. However, FF is so much more than just action, you know ;)

  • @KnightSauro yea your right with what u said what system did u have ff 13 4

  • @KnightSauro Lets be honest though, FF13 was good not great. The first 10 hours I spent running and clicking auto repeatedly. The story in the early going wasn't even that good. I had to listen to that god damn Vanille's voice and Hope's whining. Only about 2/3 of the way through did I really start to enjoy the game. FF13 was an avarage FF game.

    I think COD: MW2 is the better game even story-wise. I probably enjoyed the campaign more too. I really enjoyed ff12 so I hope versus is like that.

  • @tie011 final fantasy 13 was a good game, it DID suck for a final fantasy game. Almost nothing about it resembles a final fantasy at all. Let's hope that versus 13 is better, considering that it is made by the kingdom hearts team.

  • @Crashandburn999 i hope it is just as good as final fantasy 13 i love kingdom hearts but i dont have i high hopes 4 versus 13

  • @tie011 LOL "true fan" what bullshit, so you saying because I enjoyed the first few pokemon games I cant say that pokemon sucks now? I played FF12 and it fucking sucked. I played FF7 and it fucking sucked. FF8 wasnt bad, FF9 i liked, FF10 is my fav, FF7 dirge of cerberus wasnt bad, FF10-2 was crap story wise but entertaining somewhat(only played it for the ending). FF4 I liked. The others i have yet to play.
