Operation Darkness...

Post by alphanubilus »

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33538.html

While the whole set up is a bit odd, I like the plot... You're a werewolf, leading a team of werewolves + one witch and one necromancer, and you kick Nazi a**...

My only grip is the graphics. With it being an Xbox 360 game I would have suspected it not to have PS2 quality graphics, plus the werewolves aren't that wolfish, but then again... as the guy said, "What is more intimedating than a werewolf? A werewolf with a bazooka! :P

Oh, Fig... :P

Looks interesting, except I'm not much into Turn-Based stuff. Who knows though, I might pick up a copy...maybe.

That would be scary... a werewolf blowing bubbles... Then again, it would be a nightmare to get that sticky goo out of the fur. :P

I actually like turn based stratagy games. tends to require more thinking in my humble opinion and gives me time to consider all the options. Nice to see ther eare still bieng made let alone one that looks as cool as this. :D

Okay, let me rephrase that. Turn based Stratagy games OTHER than civilization. :lol: Still probably the best turnbased game of all time though Heros of Might and Magic rank up there too.

Back on this game, out in June/July they said?

Well, too bad it's not in the PS2 (that or the Wii XP), but still good game.

I'm not too impressed with the visuals either. It could definitly be better, especially since it is on the Xbox 360. Lost Odessy and even Blue Dragon drawf this game visually. The reality is, it does look like it would be more at home on a PS2 or a Wii than my darling Xbox 360. Graphics aren't everything though, as the Wii is a testiment to that. I will wait to hold judgment until I test it for myself. It will probably be a renter first for myself. If the game play is addictive, like it is with the Fire Emblem series, I might enjoy it.

Still you gotta love the fact that it is about werewolves killing Nazis... :P

Never ever disdain a game for it's visuals before gameplay. So I'm despairing here over the energetic and colorful comments made in the vid. Thanks for your biased support with your bloatware FPSes, guys. Just a little more before the extinction of the gaming minorities.

With that, first impressions for this game is that it plays something like Front Mission, and the visuals just about stack up to Rogue Galaxy or Koei's Musou series.

What bothers me though is why Atlus published it in 360. The 360 market are mostly shooting / sports players in States, and well, 360 + Japan doesn't mix well.
