Listen up bitches. I got this game I wanna recommend. As the name of the thread suggest, its called Phantom Dust. I would defitnitely say that this game is a major sleeper hit right here. Check around the web, look at impressions, everyone has been giving this game praises. Although its not hordes of info out, you'll soon find out that everyone who has purchased this game has liked it so far.
Anyway, its a deathmatch type game thats 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 and if you've ever watched Dragon Ball Z then this is how you fight eachother. But dont get it twisted, this is not dragon ball z. The premise is the same however. You fight to earn money to buy "skills". There is 300+ skills alltogether. You build up a arsenal of skills(like a deck of cards) and you can only pick 4 skills to use in each battle. You can map each of the 4 skills to one of the face bottons on your controller.
The skills consist of diffrent earthlike properties such as "fireball" and "Ice Dash" just to name a few. The stratergy element comes into play when fighting because this is far from a botton masher. You have to pick opportune times to attack because you can, as well as your opponent, have defensive skills to counter any attack. The skills vary in range so for instance, you can shoot a fireball at your opponent from across the map and others skills require you to be up close to an opponent to use.
But the fighting is just part of the gameplay, the biggest factor for me is the fact that the entire stage or map is completely destructable. I mean, you can smash opponents into pillars or stairs or through the ground and the rubble can also cause your opponent harm. For instance, you can try to hide behind a wall to dodge an opponents attack and that could end up backfiring cause the wall could topple over on you. Its to cool when you see it happen.
Best part is, that the game is only 20 bucks plus it is availible to play 2 vs 2 on XBOX Live or System Link with customizable soundtracks. And certain skills are only obtainable through the mutiplayer. For instance, there are skills that let you listen in on your opponents conversation ala Splinter Cell so you can get the lowdown on they're stratergy.
Its a very fun and addicting game thats a steal for 20. I'm already comtemplating combos and new skills to try out when I get home. Gotta go on vacation soon so I wont be on to play for a week or so but this game has already got me day dreaming about it.
