Wild ARMs Alter Code: F - PS2 Game (Retro Fam)

I was surprised when I found this game. Wild Arms: Alter Code F isn't a sequel, but a remake, as you have probably heard. It takes elements from both Wild Arms 1 and Wild Arms 3 to create a hybrid remake.How is this game closely related to WA1? First of all, the story is practically the same as WA1. The characters are back, and look great. Each character looks like they should, and it's weird not seeing those familiar 2d sprites from the first game. Still, they did a great job designing the characters. They look like they did in the opening cutscene from WA1. I just went back and beat my old save of WA1 in anticipation for this game, and have noticed that they have cleaned up many problems from that game. I'll talk about those later.How is this game closely related to WA3? They reused the graphics engine from WA3 for this game. I loved WA3(which I will now go back and finish), but the level designs and such were always a bit plain. The graphics in this game are the same, but it does look like they tweaked some things a little bit. I'll mention those tweaks later.Here are the great things about this game:For starters, the graphics work with the game. They aren't spectacular(they are a year or two old) but they are good for a cell-shaded game. The characters look like they should. The towns look good. Also, enter any house and look at the lightning effects. The team did a great job with the towns. In WA3, everything had a very static feel. In this game, things are a little bit.

Got this as a gift for my husband for Christmas. He loves it!
