Card-based games are for only a select group of people-most everyone else is turned off. I know you know that, but I had to start this paragraph somehow. Now, too many cooks spoil the goose normally, but all these people came together and just banged out one incredible RPG experience for the perpetually underwhelming ‘Cube.īaten Kaitos Origins is a card-based game. There’s Monolith Software, Tri-Crescendo, NAMCO and someone else. Anyway, this game is some kind of succulent union between two or three or four companies, I don’t really know. “Dude, I’m standing right in front of you….” “Hey! You got your Tales of Symphonia in my Chrono Cross, and your thumb up my ass!” “Hey! You got your Chrono Cross in my Tales of Symphonia!” So how did this game start out, anyway? I have an idea: I don’t know how this game matches up to the first one, so this review will be written for the reader who has never tried any Baten Kaitos games at all. I’d only ever played one good card game, and that was-you never saw this coming-Dragonball Z: Legend of the Supersaiyan, so I didn’t want to try the original BK. Here’s the thing: I’ve never played Baten Kaitos.
God, a man goes through such blind exuberance only TWICE in his life! I’m guessing losing my virginity would be the second time, but I’ll be a grandfather by then, so this was definitely my first. I bought it and Metroid Prime Pinball ($3 new! This is K-Mart, people!) and got change back for a $20. I ended up buying it anyway, because the K-Mart in town, the legendary underwhelmence store where I bought my NES and Game Boy and Game Boy Advance, had many copies of it on sale for $10.
I read up on Baten Kaitos Origins I read the lackluster reviews and inconsistent comments and opinions, and the only thing I got out of it was half an erection.
