Editorial Review: Product Description: Go back to school - alchemy school that is. In Mana Khemia: Alchemist of Al-Revis for Playstation 2, you will discover and create items, weapons and even character stats through the use of alchemy. You'll be graded on your completion of different assignments and will receive units for that class. You must gain enough units for the term, or else you will end up with detention. The better your grades, the more bonuses you'll get. You can select which classes you want to take and then get an explanation of your class. You can even earn money by taking jobs, which are posted on the school bulletin board. In this school, your lectures are all field trips to exotic locations, your tests are battles against unnatural creatures, and your homework involves alchemic fusions. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - InterestingI bought this game looking for something new, and that's what I got. I hadn't played any atlus games beforehand, so I didn't know what to expect. All in all, this game is strangely child-like (I blame the anime), but if you can get over that part and focus on the rest of it, it is pretty decent.

Both of them said it is a 5-star game. The graphics are typical PS-2, but still looks good. I seems to be a continuation or side story of the "Atelier Iris 3" game and uses the same looking characters, dungeons, locations, etc. and the battle system is much the same except no experience is received and characters do not have levels. Instead they gain better skills and improved abilities ...

You may want to pick up the strategy guide for the crafting sub-game though. While the game does a good job of telling you what the element of all the different items and gear you collect is, you cannot access that list while crafting. So either a large collection of notes ...

It can recognize that a PS2 game is in place, but the screen remains blank after that. Oh well... Anyway, on to the game. I loved AI:2, and thought that AI was a pretty good, if unbalanced, affair. I thought AI:3 was terrible, but this game is safely in the above average category. It's not stellar, but it does satisfy. Let's begin with: The Good: Read More |
