KEY POINTS:
Odin Sphere
(PS2) (PG)
Herald Rating: * * * *
Pros:Highly imaginative storytelling and artwork draw on myths and legends to create a well-drawn fantasy world. Five characters are featured adding variety to the many fight sequences and the game overall has tremendous depth.
Cons: Slightly repetitive in parts and noticeably suffers from slow-down in parts where the action on the screen is intense.
Verdict: There's plenty of novelty value in Odin Sphere, which comes with that quirky Japanese touch of melodrama and shows there's ife in 2D action adventure games.
