back when names like "Dart" were cool.
LoD was and is a masterpiece. The graphics for the time were stellar, the story is engrossing and the combat engine, though rough, was novel in its intent. The game is also -to this day- the most highly sought after for a seqeul of any game on any platform ever. Think about that for a second. What on earth is sony waiting for? probably, for xbox360 to steal the rights to it. heh heh.
The game featured the use of dragoons as a special attack implement, and the story twists and weaves in such a way that, while you may have a suspicion as to what's coming, you never really know.
that said LoD was not gaming perfection, although technically this can't be counted as a game problem. Manufacture wide LoD will not play all the way thru on a ps2. There is a specific boss battle in a cave that always, always end with a black, endless load screen if you try to pass it on a ps2. i don't know why in all these years sony has never gotten off their keester to fix it, but the bottom line remains...
...if you want to see the glory of LoD, you better have a working ps1.
This misjudgement in design aside, go spend 20$ on a working ps1 and enjoy!
