Guardian Heroes
A Review of a good Sega Saturn Game

Over the next couple of updates I will be giving reviews of fantastic Sega Saturn Games! They will go Guardian Heroes, Dragon Force, and NiGHTS...... Well here goes, enjoy!! :

This excellent Sega Saturn final fighter is AMAZING. This is considered by many Saturn owners the finest game currently available. This game is very unique in the fact that it has a versus mode that resembles Street Fighter, and also there are 3 planes of combat - Up close, Middle, and Far Away - While at the same time massive enemies are coming at you in every direction, but you have an ally, a mighty Skeleton Warrior that wears gold armor and carries a big sword! What makes this an RPG is the ability to change your characters attributes' after a couple of levels. There are 4 main characters to choose from in the story mode and here they are:

Han: A mighty warrior that carries a big sword, unfortunately he is lacking in the magic department

Randy: He is unique in the fact that he has a rabbit that helps him, he has average strength and alot of spells

Ginjiro: He is a mighty ninja fast, agile, and has alot of spells -- Highly Recommended --

Nicole: Very weak, but has powerful spells

But there are also a ton of supporting characters including the Golden Undead Warrior and Serena Corsaire, who is the Commander of the Royal Knights Red Team. Not to mention village rebels, you will meet all these characters and more by using the 50 different paths, to reach the multiple endings. And this game also includes a versus mode and in the versus mode you can be every character in the game. From the enemies, to the towns folk EVERYONE is playable. This brings the total of 45 people to choose from. Also (with an adapter) there can be 6 people fighting on the same time! So you and 5 of your friends can duke it out. Or you can just pick a huge robot and fight off 5 cpu opponents (make them towns folk). But not all people will be selectable at once you must fight through the game and once you encounter an enemy you can be him/her/it in the versus mode. Not to mention that you could pick this jewel up for $25 bucks plus tax at any Best Buy and or at any other video game retailer, keep in mind that the prices do vary. Whether you are a Fighting, RPG, Fantasy Combat fan whatever this is the perfect title for you. The only complaint is it times the game experiences slow down (rare but it happens) and the characters tend to get a little pixley. So this is title is:

Highly Recommended
Back Up: Yes, Internal Ram/ Ram cartridge
Players: 1-6

Well thats 1 down *whew*

This company is responsible for almost every RPG for the Saturn their incredible list of games includes Dragon Force, Shining Wisdom, Iron Storm, and the Lunar series.
