Has anyone tried this game? I'd like to know what its like and if its worth the money to buy it. I've been looking for a new game for a while, and hopefully this will be it. Any news on a North American release?

PSO Blue Burst has got a US release date of Spring 2005 at the moment.<br>Episode IV is a part of that game.

[Neo48]

Awesome!!!!!!!!<p>Episode 4...the story continues...

[LaconianShot]

Awesome! CASH-INS ROCK! Uh, I mean... yay.<br>In any case, I see very little reason to buy it unless it comes out on console. The extra "story" is little more then sidenotes to events that happened before Ep.III, and while likely interesting, the whole game will be more of the same (which I love, but you see my point).

[Neo48]

Well...you at least know why I am excited :p

[Benoit]

It's the same thing. You just *think* it's different because the graphics and monsters skins are new. The monsters behave the same like other Episode I & II monsters. There's nothing new...

[Neo48]

Thats not the point....

[LaconianShot]

To be honest, I feel rather shafted by ST... especially with a PC exclusive release. And really, did they bother to make any gameplay changes, like they should've? No, of course not... the sign of a cash-in.

[Benoit]

Then what is the point, Neo?

[Lord Khyron]

The point is Neo would rather run around and hack and slash forever in a new area BELIEVING he is playing something different.<p>Never mind the monsters are repeats of Ep 1/2 monsters, the areas are long repeats..<p>Doesn't matter to Neo, it's the PSO he loves.<p>He realizes it's the same repetitive action he got tired of, But he can't come to grips with that. He's so stuck in his delusion. <p>The chance to play something DIFFERENT, non repetitive and unique comes around and he is scared.<p>Neo, it's the same repetitive crap as episode 1/2.<p>They don't even give the monsters new attacks! Hell, Episode 3 did this..<p>It's a Cash-In..<p>I feel for you Neo, delusioned.

[JonathanF]

[Benoit]

Haha, that's neat!

[Neo48]

Khyron....hahahaha! The fact that your not 1% right about me is hilarious <p>Nice pics...the big needle is quite mind boggling ~0

[Lord Khyron]

You needed a laugh Neo, so I gave you one..<p>Now give me one back, or Ein's other arm vanishes ^^
