RAD (aka Gigantic Drive) Do you still play it?

Post by Vlad86 » Thu Nov 27, 2003 10:30 pm

Man, I love this game! I've had it for awhile now, but i just got around to actually finishing it. This game is awsome and I wish they would make a sequel, but it seems to not have done well enough to warrant one.
Damn, and there was some talent on it too, like Enix, BONES, and even Gainax.....
So what does everone else think? Awsome game? or not?

My only complaints were the bad camera angles, and the voice actors(but that can be fixed when I get the Japanese version)

Oh well, now I'm just waiting till i can get Evangelion 2 *drool*

Ok, you need to get this game. It's pretty original (well the control scheme anyway) Robot Alchemic Drive (aka Gigantic Drive in Japan), is a very good game, and if you can find it in Eb or something it shouldn't be more than $20 new. Tis' sad really, its a great game. I blame inadequate advertising and not enough word of mouth.


However, I do warn you that the english version has bad dubbing, but if you can get over that, its an awsome game.

I wanted to get it, but when I asked at one local store, they said they had never stocked it.

One thing that might be of interest to people here, is that the character designs were by <a href="http://www.fansview.com/2003/nandesukan ... >Toshihiro Kawamoto</a>.

I played the demo of it. It was fun and stuff but it's a sleeper hit. I liked that you had to acually manuver your chracter so you could see your robot (still don't understand why they got to fly).
The controls were unique. I can see it taking some time to get used to, or mastering the fighting system.

That would be all sorts of awsome....

A sequel with more mechs, better graphics, and online play is desperately needed(oh and more maps too)

Oh, that one! (I'm horrible with names). I remember seeing previews for that on TechTV; it made me angry that I have a Gamecube instead of a PS2. I really wanted to play that game.
