Neopets: The Darkest Faerie - PlayStation 2. ESRB Rating: Everyone 10+ 4.8 out of 5 stars 141. Get it as soon as Fri, May 14.
You wouldn't expect a neopets game to have such an open world and over 50+ good hours of RPG gameplay with so many side quests and options, but this game has it all, even for an old ps2 game. The game arrived quick and works like a charm, even came with case and manual.
The PS2 game is entitled Neopets: The Darkest Faerie, and it will feature the adventures of one Tormund (aka Tor, and of no relation to GameSpot news editor Tor Thorsen) and his companion, Roberta.

My daughter loves Neopets. Seriously loves them. She's on the Neopets website quite often. It's quite the little phenomona, much like Pokemon. The idea is to raise these little pets and fight them. I think. And maybe buy stuff for them. I don't know. I don't pay much attention. I'm sure she'll be pleasantly excited when I tell her about this new game coming from Sony and Neopets Inc. She'll freak when she sees the screenshot of that Neopet fighting the other Neopet and the other screenshot of..the hallway! Way to get us excited Sony. Send a screenshot of a hallway! What a hallway! Woohoo!! Can't wait to visit the hallway!! I hope that hallway is in the game or I'll be mighty disappointed.

Neopets: The Darkest Faerie (Playstation 2)is a wonderful game. There is also a wonderful website that has a game guide for free if you or your child needs help. I can't remember what it is off hand, but search for 'Neopets, the darkest Farie + guide' and you will find it. There are a couple of glitches in the game.

From the looks of the press material, it appears that Sony has yanked out everything Neopetish from Neopets the PS2 game and turned it into a fighting adventure game that only stars two characters. On second thought, maybe my daughter won't be that impressed. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure I like that hallway screenshot any longer either.

Finally, the third PS2 game where fantasy collides with game development reality. Neopets: The Darkest Faerie is unassuming, unfinished, and sneakily compelling.

It's reminiscent of the period when computer games were only games. You know, for kids. The future was interactive entertainment, where you were grudgingly allowed to solve tiny puzzles between grainy video clips.

Cynical developers made perfunctory rubbish because children didn't matter. Others used that indifference as an opportunity to make what they liked: under-resourced, but relatively free from creative interference.

Neopets was big business in 2005, but this game is quite intimate. It feels like something that people wanted to make. Overcome some accidentally horrific cutscenes, and you'll soon discover if you're on their wavelength.

The opening gives the dream of heroism with extra cheese, then lets the inquisitive explore a little. Like the mandatory chores, there's nothing spectacular, but the gentle fun is in harmony with the story.

It's a cartoon of uncluttered consistency, symbolic objects and elementary concepts. Follow the path between the trees to the flowers, take the fork to the barn, climb the ladder, then see the mountains. Restrained details make focusing on what matters simple.

Early cutscenes are populated by the nightmarish puppets of an incompetent taxidermist. Things improve considerably with shiny characters, who merely resemble action figures come to life with their stiff movements. The direction and writing picks up too, with neat emphasis on implied menace rather than PG-rated fighting.

The game itself moves almost as smoothly as possible. The animation, free of tedious photorealistic pretensions, snaps to attention. Simply moving around is immersive, finer texturing would be a shimmering distraction. There are subtle details, like leaves and petals, while backgrounds that are more than set dressing give a grand sense of scale.

After the lecture about using weapons responsibly, I instinctively blitzed all the domestic breakables to see what happened. Nothing, and friendly characters can't be damaged, so there's no chance of cutting a deal with the Darkest Faerie. You monster.

However, another instruction is to run away if threatened. Returning home after the first fight, rather than continuing to your destination, gives first the clue that this game thinks beyond set pieces. The early promise is never quite realised, with an increasing sense of development burdened by the options of an open world. Still, doing the unexpected works often enough to make the world feel alive, ticking over regardless of your actions.

Meridell is spicy relish on the earlier cheese. You are mugged on arrival, and the residents range from gracious to rude in their treatment of a nobody. The characterisation is delightfully consistent, with fresh rounds of encouragement and abuse as you progress.

There's an undertone of becoming an adult, not through car-jacking or magic bullet wounds, but persistence and responsibility. Tor, the first controllable character, must brave bureaucracy, harsh training, and the worst jobs for a whiff of the dream. Cat goes fishing download mac.

Which stinks of the old guard shirking, but it's convincing when fate steps in to guide him. There's enough nastiness, and mere cranks or eccentrics, to make the nice believable. Writing builds this world far more effectively than a few borrowed film clips.

Between talking, there's lots of exploration and some fighting. Death is possible enough to add tension, but not neurosis. Healing pl
