Short Comment-
I think it's playable in a non-Japanese Windows, though I can't be certain. I've never played PSO before, but the game's demo seems very simplistic. You can't pick characters in the demo version- the demo allows only a play with a Hume warrior.. -H. Moriarty |

GameSpot.com- Final Fantasy X Reviewed, Scores 9.3 (Gamespot.com) |

"...Much of Final Fantasy X is purely optional--though the game will take you no fewer than 40 hours to complete the first time through, you could easily spend twice as long exploring some of its late-game side quests and searching for suitably rewarding secrets. Not every player will be willing or even prepared to spend this much time with the game, and it's more than likely that not everyone will even be able to finish the game, either. So if you're a hard-core fan of the series and are wondering whether Square is loosening the reigns, dumbing Final Fantasy down to make it accessible to an even broader audience, then rest assured that's definitely not the case.

Short Comment- I've known Greg Kasavin as a good friend on the internet since nearly 8 years back, and while I haven't had the occasion to speak to him in recent times, it's great to see him doing well. Although I would've killed to link to him on a Neogeo related review like the good old days, it's doubtful that that'll ever happen. So instead, I decided to link to Greg's review on Final Fantasy X, since Greg seems to be a FF fan as much as myself. -H. Moriarty |

Sega has opened their official Site for the Playstation 2 version of Virtua Fighter 4. In addition to a brief introduction to Firtua Fighter and its characters, the site presents the changes between the arcade and PS2 version. Downloadable media are available as well.
Virtua Fighter 4 for the PS2 has two unique systems, A.I and Kumite. The Kumite mode allows the player to grow an artificial intelligence by either making the CPU watch and learn from player, or make the CPU fight itself and have the player educate the CPu by pressing O(good) or X(bad), depending on the attack it executres. The created A.I can be used in other game modes. The second system -"kumite", is described as a "virtual arcade" mode in which the player can fight against virtual opponents and raise their rank, similarly to the card ranking systems adopted for VF4 arcade machines in Japan. Equipable accessories will be available as well, likewise to the real arcades. |
