  • This was a good game that had a good ring/magic creation system, a good story line, and the graphics were okay for Ps2 games at the time. I would not personally mind a sequel which explains what happens to the Eternal child once he leaves with the main character.

  • This game was cool before the Elder Scrolls brought first person RPGs to the mainstream two years later.

  • Somebody snapped this game at our youth group.

  • this game looks awesome lol

  • aahhh good memories of my childhood!

  • @lilsokzmuzic same here even though this game came out when i was in 2nd grade hahahaha

  • This games sucks hog ass but id still rather play it over deus ex he. At least this game doesnt parade around like a blockbuster hit {THAT SUCKS!) like deus ex he. Game had stupid looking charather models,cities werent really that big to explore,map was total garbage to the point i got frustrated with it and the stealth aspect of the game was pretty much broken cause the people you "stealth kill" go out in a fit of rage making noise giving away your location even though they didnt see you.

  • @KeveniveK21

    You must have shit taste in games if you hate HR so much.

  • This wasn't really that long ago, but man it seems like ages since I played this. Such a great game at the time.

  • I would compare this game to action RPG game. Not cod, not half life .. too incomparable at all.. I RPG fan so this game I find it playable like 6.5/10.. If anyone think this is going to be like counter strike gameplay juz coz this is 1st person action, he is IDIOT!

  • @JessieKetias you probably dont have a dick

  • @JessieKetias actually im from scotland you cod jockey fuck

  • @JessieKetias underrated as in the game went unnoticed or didnt sell well not underaged now fuckoff and play cod. let us real gamers play our classics and rpgs.

  • @SuperGhost145

    This was a classic, what in fucks name were you smoking when you were younger this game was baaaaaad, Shadow of the Colossus, Planescape Torment, Deus EX, Sacrifice those were classics this was a shit smear on gamings long vaunted history.

  • @Devofone how do you know i was even sayin this games a classic

  • Personally, I really enjoyed playing this game, though I'm not quite why it appealed to me.

  • I have this game. It's TERRIBLE. Worst game I own.

  • @CountryMichael me too,

  • I think it looks fairly interesting. I have the chance to buy it at a really low price and was still thinking about it because most reviews of this game I found were really negative, but now that I've seen the actual gameplay I think I'll give it a try.

  • The true Demon's Souls starts here.

  • i just went out and bought a random game and you know what for 2 42 exactly it isnt bad

  • this game is great

  • This game looks fucking retarded I dont even know whats going on. So your shooting... Fucking farts at mentally slow skeletons? Whoever made this game is the biggest dumbass in video game history.

  • @OrgasmicPancakes fack off dude that game is awsome i have this game and its not fart its called poison!!! and the enemis ar great bosses even greater it is just a boring world or what ever! ur facking retard go play counter-strike noob

  • It might be like Opeth, I once hated it for being too slow, then after giving it a chance, there's no other band I'd rather listen to.

  • I love this game. The ring creation system is addictive, the dungeon crawling is fun, and the music is incredibly haunting. It's not perfect, but I think if you give it a chance, it'll leave an impression on you.

  • I bought this game for two dollars at a local game shop, and it was the only one they had. Unfortunately the disc is a bit messed up, but hopefully it'll play well. You can't really argue with two measly dollars.

  • This game is nice

  • @BAWK0 it is

  • I swear, the story telling of all the KF and ER games are the same as The Shadow of the Colossus. Simply beautiful.

  • Actually, I think a good thing to do is to just take their newest game Demon Souls and make another Eternal Ring or KF with it, but like Oblivion, its optional to switch into FPS, still using the same actual mechanics of DS though.

    After that, they shouldgo back into the character of the original game to discover something that will deliver the same ambient atmosphere.

  • I played the the original games, so this was easy for me given it had more speed to it. I don't get why people will diss the fighting mechanics of either, as its very well like Secrets of Evermore/Mana on SNES.

    This game has nastolgic atmosphere and a nice sadening tone at times. The game series needs to continue, each. They need to make another FPS RPG and take the slow theme to the best advantage of adding very engaging, realistic and difficult fighting gameplay with dynamic head motions.

  • Really good, but hard to get into game. ER is low-budget, but when you came into vibe of this game, it almost as good as Demon's Souls. Yes, it's the same team, may of same mechanics etc. I think that of "great From Software Four" Eternal Ring is the worst, but also a very good game! But this video don't give the game full justice. The same is with the begining of the game..

  • This game reminds me a lot of elder scrolls, except for its dungeon-based storyline. Even though it is slow, I like the idea and would rate it 3 1/2 stars of 5, compared to KF

  • buy a real game like elder scrolls.. this shit is asss.. under ratted gem my balls!

  • @VinnyLT9000 better then elder scrolls, lol

  • I bought this game out a bargain bin sometime in 2004. It was such a piece of crap, but an entertaining piece of crap.

    I never knew it was a launch title until now.

  • Golden Fruit wtf?

  • This was one of the first games i got for the ps2.. i was so disappointed, it's terrible, and i rarely accuse a game of being terrible.

  • didn't really enjoy it.it wasn't horrible by any means but. then again got it for 5 bucks so can't realy complain :P

  • Is it shit, or isn't it?

    Even though King's Field is kind of an underdog classic, it is possible that this is the total garbage as they say.

  • @schtolteheim I enjoyed it. KF is better, but ER is still a good dungeon crawl if you're a fan of KF. The biggest complaint people had against the game was "It's slow!" It's the same complaint they wage against the KF series. The controls do take getting used to because the lack of analog stick control, but if you like the KF series, then this should be up your alley.

  • @teh2Dgamer

    playing it on PCSX2 with analog control :P

    all i gotta say is people got this game all wrong, if you like this genre this is a fine example of how to do some things right.

    not saying its excellent, but i actually like this more then KF series.... KF series i'd get lost every corner this one i don't have that issue.

  • what a game i never heard of king's field before now but i still had the game

  • I like asking my teacher in Game Theory in Mechanics, "have you heard of Forbidden Siren?" "no", "Have you heard of System Shock?" "no", "Have you heard of Gungrave?" "no"...

    People are really missing out on these forgotten gems people worked so hard on.

  • is this game even real? LOL

  • PLEASE tell me where/ how to enter cheats in this game.

  • Dodger, go eat shit you fuckface idiot. Your mother already fucked you up when you were born. How about you suck a fat cactus and sit on a pile of broken glass you monkey loving flea ridden rotten donkey asshole.

  • Looks interesting. I might have to give this a try. It's cheap, so it doesn't hurt my wallet.

    Can you give any nice info about this game, like what would be againts me in this game?

  • hah, i hated it, i honestly don't kno how u could go on for more than 30 min playing this game

  • great game in the rpg group

  • wow motherfuckers this game is ass i hate this game. this is like seig heil to the jews like this game was to me. this game was a slap in the nuts to GOD! the reason why god put this blasphemic satan shit nugget out of cock. this game i got at gamestop for $1.99 to get rid of the rest of my money which i spent on gta san andreas.... a GOOD game. i never played it but i thought "well i'll give it a chance" gagged pissed on it and broke the fuck with a bat

  • @airsoftpup123 this game is great, how could you?

  • Friend probably you can help your me I wait that stay well a greeting Sides I go as 6 years playing jaja this eternal ring and since I obstruct myself and already not that wave with, in the dungeon of ice this where in frozen dragoon not as waking it up to conquer it. Apart from the fact that if as awakening to the dragoon of land, with the ring of the air dragoon, but he conquers me very rapidly and not with which to shoot Can you help your me?

  • @Rectoragia I take it you are using a translator to post in english.

  • @Rectoragia all your base are belong to us

  • @Rectoragia hahahhahah that is awesome

  • It looks practically like any King's Field on the outside. Is there good reason why this isn't worthy of the name, and why it's considered such a lackluster game?

  • Eternal Ring sucked. I couldn't get past the level of the water tomb or something in the town after the cave which is the first level of the game.

  • @Ohsta6t2 So because you sucked at the game, the game sucks? OK then.

  • @teh2Dgamer Well, the levels I was on. I did not enjoy the levels a lot because they were difficult and rather lacking enjoyment value because you just move and move, stab an enemy and continue moving. Another thing is the game did not support analog sticks as very early PS2 games for some reason did not and Eternal Ring is an early PS2 game.

  • this game is the biggest piece of shit i have ever played i use it to wipe my ass. and another copy as a coaster. for my piss by far the WORST rpg i have ever played ever!

  • @Dodger823 To each his own.

  • @teh2Dgamer okay w.o.w. junkie tell me what that means.

  • @Dodger823 You don't know what "To each his own" means? It means not everyone will see eye to eye. Each has his own likes and dislikes. You hated this game, I liked it, so you're entitled to your opinion and I mine. To each his own.

  • @teh2Dgamer alright i get your point but that dosent change the fact thatthis games sucks donkey kong's dick

  • @Dodger823 TO you, but you probably never took the time to understand the game to begin with.

  • @teh2Dgamer i cant believe some people, these games are great

  • @KingsFieldTAC thank you i say we have a game burning buy all the $1.99 copies from gamestop and break these crappy pieces of shit

  • @Dodger823 you must suck the same thing dodger823 considering your name is about as thoughtless and boring as your real life gaming habits.

    Some of the "gems" are questionable but i will vouch for this one.

  • @FaceInTheBooty dude i live next to him, dodger823, and i DO NOT AGREE 1 BIT. me and him spend our gaming time playing gta,metal gear solid, halo,true crime, mafia, mortal kombat ect. if u people think this is a real game then u people are clearly retarded i give games a great chance b4 i return them or keep them. i didt hesitate to destroy this game. it sucks. good rpg's are located on the snes. earthbound, chrono trigger, mario rpg, and final fantasy 3. BOOM GOOD RPG'S. play those not this

  • @airsoftpup123 throw a brick at his head for me bro.. :P

  • @FaceInTheBooty go fuck yourself. how bout that

  • @Dodger823 Idiot.

  • @Dodger823 did you NOT notice the age on this game? Do you know when it released? If you did, you'd realize it's definitely an old school game, dumb fuck.

  • @teh2Dgamer hahah no use trying to reason with an idiot bro. lol

  • @FaceInTheBooty Fuck you idiot

  • @Dodger823 Careful Dodger823, your age is showing (you're an idiot baby).

  • this game is the biggest piece of shit i have ever played i use it to wipe my ass. and another copy as a coaster.

  • Man I'm not one to hate on the graphics of games but when you put bad graphics and first person view it just screams headache material. Not one of my favorites unfortunately, I'm sure it's great in it's own way.

  • this is the scariest game I've ever played.

  • Looks similar to King's Field (same software house, however). I think I'll buy it.

  • WoooooW!!!!!! i remember playing this "Eternal Ring" in my opnion one of the best games for ps2 along with "Primal" to fine games the best of there time..... truly unique and excellent games ^_^

  • amazing looking game, i love the kings field games so im gonna try to find this game. pretty sad state of affairs for pc gaming these days imo. all i play is old psx and ps2 games these days

  • one of the best games i have ever played, seriously.

  • I've got this game, but I distinctly remember not liking it. But the last time I played it was about 10 years ago. Mayhaps I should give it another go.

  • Nice gameplay, not every game lets you focus almost completely on magic spells.

    Disclaimer tough: the game is terribliy short (about 2 hours long)

  • The Controls are horrible in this game though, its still fun, I only ever got to the Volcano part and gave up, I was young. the only reason I bought the game was because it said on the back "Fantasy don't have to be Final" :D

  • I played the crap out of this game way back when. Thanks for the memories!

  • When i was younger i couldnt stop playing this game. when i grew older, i realized the game was slow. but curiosity still makes me pic this oldie back up

  • Where can i get this? It looks like king's field, gotta love these kinds of games! x)

  • @MrILOVEBEINGPURPLE It's actually a branch off of sorts to the KF series. You should be able to find it online for cheap, or any game store that's dumping it's PS2 inventory like a gamestop or something. The game got horrible reviews and a lot of people hate it (like they do the KF series), so it should be dirt cheap if you find it.

  • @teh2Dgamer I found it for 8$! I am going to buy it!

  • I reallyreallyreallyreally did not like this game, at all. .__. It sucked balls!

  • @ToshiKupoKupo Like I said, it's not for everyone, but those willing to come into it with an open mind may be pleasently surprised by it.

  • I love that some of the first ps2 games look like Dreamcast games...I love the dreamcast. :) And luckily for me...a lot of these "underrated gem"'s you have posted up I own...:) I'm not one to simply follow the "popular" games. :)

  • i remember this game, i didnt get very far because i was only young. i remember on the 1st level right at the begining, and you turn around and go out of the cave, these turtles start attacking you and every time you hit them, they take cover in their shells :S

  • i just bought this for 98p in Game!!! im saving it for wen my ps3 breaks down again, which probably wont be a long wait. im glad i bought it now, it doesnt look that bad.

  • Just like Evergrace, such an awesome RPG, I found it at a game hobby shop for $3, really sad for such an awesome game.

  • I had this game for a bit and traded it in soon after. It wasn't what I expected, to say the least.

  • i need this game so bad too bad they dont sell it anymore its a great game

  • thats funny cuz my brother bought it for me at gamestop for $1.99

  • Yeah, given the content and context of many of the comments on this page, I'm not gonna have a popular opinion about this game, but I had a slightly more pleasant root canal as the novocain was wearing off.

    Shaq Fu, the Hydlide series, Deadly Towers, and Bebe's Kids* were almost as bad.

    *-Ok, maybe Eternal Ring isn't THAT bad.

  • To each his own I guess.

  • @666bobert agetec is just the publisher, this game and the armored core series are a From Software production.

  • I heard this was a mainstream version of the king's field series.

    Right? Wrong?? Comments???

  • It's made by the same people. I really wouldn't call it mainstream.

    I think it's more of an offshoot to the KF series.

  • I know From Software made it, but I just heard it was a quicker game. More emphasis on action than exploration. Stuff like that. I'm getting it for christmas, so I'll find out.. haha (I know, I'm 9 years late, but whatever...)

  • this is an awesome game once you get passed the annoying controls and then its even better

  • OMG Hexen for PS2

  • Not quite, but the King's Feild series (and Eternal Ring which is an offshoot of KF) definitely has the feel of the oldschool PC dungeon crawls to it.

  • This game epitomizes the gameplay >>> graphics debate.

    And I still like the simplistic nature to the visuals. They didn't exceed their focus when they designed it.

    Loves this game.

  • I have this game and I adore it. I found most of the game challenging enough to keep me into it but easy enough to not make me annoyed. The music was breathtaking. The mostly-open-ended gameplay was fun too. 10/10 in my opinion.

  • Can you switch to 3rd person mode?

  • Nope, it's purely first person.

  • @teh2Dgamer Ah, ok. Thanks for the reply.

  • I didn't really enjoyed it that much, I DID play trying to find ALL rings and secrets (I got that eternal sword) Anywho, but the music. Just...beautiful!! I LOVED THE MUSIC!

  • It's not for everyone I guess.

  • Can you tell me what ring you use in the start against those knights? And how you made it? Please, it would help me alot. (:

  • I can't remember honestly, but try looking it up on gamefaqs.

  • is there some fog effect? you think a ps2 could handle more

  • It was a launch game, so it's not exactly a good showpiece of the PS2's capabilities. It wasn't until the second generation of games coming to the system that we really got to see what the system was capable of.

  • Most launch games had bad graphics due to how difficult it was to program for the ps2 at first. Eventually Games got better. From software, the developers of this game, eventually made games with much better graphics like the King's field 4, the armored core series etc....

    Shadow Tower Abyss from From Software had incredible graphics for the ps2. Sadly it was only released in japan. It is a first person rpg like eternal ring but much more darker and atmospheric. Slight horror too.

  • i got this as a gift long ago. worst game i have ever played. fucking poison forest....

  • i love the game the story is sooo good i was sad wen i fin d thing abb it is not only a gd story bt its hard if u dont have skill u cant just rely on walkin in guns ablazein u nd a certain degree of skill

  • I have Eternal Ring but im not too sure how to play it. I keep dying in the Valley of Poison or the Tree Area after.

  • This game can't seriously be as big as Oblivion could it?

  • Not even close.

    They're two completely different games that share little in common aside from the fact that they are first person RPGs.

    Oblivion is an open game with a massive world, whereas Eternal ring is strictly a dungeon crawler. It's world is limited to dungeons.

    They're similar, but different.

  • I see

  • My favorite game, fucking LOVE this game, it's just, awesome.

  • i remember watching my brother play this game its pretty cool. like a low graphic version of oblivion

  • Nice music!

  • Is there any map in this game? I feel kinda lost watching this video...

  • Looks like Oblivion for the N64.

  • These graphics may be first gen PS2, and may look really old, but they'd have to be about twenty times blurrier, and fifty times foggier in order for it to look like an N64 game.

  • teh2dgamer, is the game enjoyable to play? I'm thinking about adding it to my collection.

  • I find it enjoyable, but not every gamer will. Some people absolutely hate this game.

    My best advice is buy it for cheap that way if it's not your thing, then you don't feel as bad if you hate it.

    Just don;t expect the greatest game ever when you come into it, and you won't be disappointed.

    Also, there is no analog support, so you have to control with the D-pad and shoulder buttons.

  • i love this game the story is great bin playin since it came out

  • Shittest game ever.

  • You obviously need to play more games then.

  • Sorry. 2nd worse game ever. Big Rigs is the worst. I've played hundreds of games . This is awful. it went for the first person rpg way too early.

  • This game's perfectly playable, and perfectly engrossing. I probably own more games than you've played.

    The only really downside to the game is the lack of analog control, but I've played a lot worse in my 20 plus years of gaming.

    This is hardly a terrible game. I've played a lot more broken and unplayable games than this in my time.

  • Okay - it's understandable. But once you've played Oblivion then it's very hard ( for me ) to go and play on Eternal Ring

  • They're really not the same thing. Oblivion is an open world first person RPG whereas ER is a dungeon base FPRPG. They're two completely different games doing two completely different things.

    Aside form them being first person RPGs, they're really not that comparable, because they're doing different things.

  • holy shit i remember this i got it with my ps2 years ago! didnt play it much i was shit and couldnt get far hehe but man, wow this takes me back

  • do u know how do make eternal ring cheats work?

  • King's field for ps2 is pretty good btw. Very immersive. More immersive than oblivion imo.

  • King's field series is already underrated.....so this game is truly underrated lol.

  • never heard of this game but looks great though

    remebers me of exhumed

  • ... no offence but i thought this game was fucking terrible

  • I say in the description that it's not for everyone. It's more for King's Field fans.

    However, it's in no way terrible. I've been gaming for over 20 years, and I've played terrible. This ain't it.

  • i know it says in the decription its not for everyone ive read the whole thing on all the videos of yours ive watched...

    and THIS generations terrible XD not the attari or sega terrible...

  • I can't stand this game, I tried playing it again the other day, got the Sea Blue Key thing and get bored.

    It's a decent game though, and I played it a lot when I first got my PS2.

    It is very underrated, although Graphically I thought it wasn't THAT bad, what DC games look better if I may ask?

  • Quake II, and Unreal Tournament on the DC look better, and I'm sure I could find a few more as well. However, graphics don't matter for me (if they did, I wouldn't be playing PS2 games still).

    I enjoy the game for it's gameplay.

  • This game was hard in my opinion.

  • i remember this game.

    it got terrible reviews all round and could be found for less than a fiver in most places

    almost bought it but went by the reviews and decided against it. glad i avoided it. dungeon design and combat look a little sloppy

  • W00T this is the kings field ending! AW MAN! i was hoping for more

  • Didn't know about this game at all, but it sure looks interesting as an old school, first person RPG. Haven't played the King's Field games much but am currently enjoying the hell out of From's PS3 epic Demon's Souls. Will probably check out ER at some point as well...

  • the soundtrack for this game is amazing...

  • I find that I tend to enjoy the music in most of From Software's games.

  • awesome its like diablo 1 in first person :D

  • I suggest you replay Diablo 1..

  • are you kidding me? i beat diablo 1 1092 times in the past month

  • omfg i loved this game , was one of my first ps2 games, its so sad no one i ever mention it to knows about it. thanks for this!

  • Wow, didn't know you showcased this already. Man, you know your stuff! My favorite ring in this game, aside from the dragon rings, is the Power Of Growth, my gain exp just by swinging your sword!

  • Oops, I ment "you" gain exp just by swinging your sword!

  • My favorite game so far! Ive gotten up to lvl 99, found the eternal sword, everything. Has the best storyline ive seen so far, but yeah... it lacks some things. but, very good for a 2000 debut game. Bout damn time someone posted a decent gameplay video. How did you record it? I'd love to know.

    ! you skipped Nell Grey! and important storyline answers! For those of you who have never played it, he's in the 'Magical laboratory-ruins-library' area, near the ending...

  • I recorded it using a video capture card. Try looking it up on youtube to see everything you'll need in order to capture video of your games.

  • Your videos are quite interesting, I hope to see lots more. How about making one of Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter? It's a great game!

  • I have Dragon Quarter, but I haven't played it enough to make a vid of it.

  • Comment removed

  • i really didn't like the game controls for movment. so wierd

  • If you're used to dual analog controls, they'll definitely take some getting used to.
