Be Excellent To Each Other

Has anybody played Phantom Dust? Is it any good? I can't get mine to work. :(

"Woah, deja vu"

dust on your xbox, you want to clean better mate, it'll clog up the gubbins that will

I remember trying Phantom Dust a while back.

When I first started it, there was a HUGE amount of inane character dialogue you had to go through before getting to play (and I DO mean HUGE AMOUNT).

After the first few sentences I discovered you could skip quickly to the next sentence by pressing a button.

It still took a long, long time before I actually got to the gameplay.

Unfortunately, at this point, I didn't have a clue what I was doing, probably because I had skipped all of the text...

I absolutely couldn't be arsed starting again and reading it all properly so I gave up, sold in on Ebay, and played a more instantly gratifying game instead...

Hope that's helpful !

Your fax are indeed tru.

However, I have persevered and discovered the game. The tutorial lasts from Chapter 1 to Chapter 3 out of 7. Until that point you have no character customisation and have to blast magic randomly. (Still nifty though.)

The plot's a daft mess, and getting from mission to mission (ie. finding the person who begins the briefing) is a pain in the arse.

However, jumping off a broken highway, firing a big fireball, seeing the enemy reflect the fireball, making it accidentally hit a pillar to their right, causing the section of road above where they're standing to fall down and crush them never gets old.
