PS2 - Under the Skin

[Richter]

where did this come from? Saw it at the GS today.

"The aliens are coming! The aliens are coming! The invasion has begun! You play as Cosmi, a comical alien from Planet Mischief who has made his way to Earth to make it his personal training ground. Your mission: Pull pranks and createhavoc!Disguise yourself as a “human” to walk freely through the cities of Earth in orderto setup practical jokes, create panic and disrupt the lives of these crazy “Earthlings”!"

I played a demo of this, and while I still haven't figured out what the hell this game is about exactly (I have to give it another go), I'm in love with it. The wacky art style makes me giddy, and even though I wasn't sure what I was doing, I was having a lot of fun doing it. I know that doesn't make any sense, but that sums up my experience in a nutshell.

The only thing I don't like is the $40 MSRP. That's way too much. $20 and I'm sold.

There's a demo in this month's O.P.M. It's hella cool after 5 minutes, "meh, okay" after 10 minutes, but shallow and boring after 11 minutes. Probably worth $20 just to see all the levels, but it ain't no Katamari Damacy.

I saw this at GS as well. I was tempted, but passed for now.

Yeah it came out in japan about 4 months ago, I think it was called (something something -)Panic Maker. I wanted to import it.

Pretty much you are an alien and you run around scaring humans. You can even be the REsident Evil Nemesis at one point, which is what really drew me to the game. CAnt wait for it to come out state side.

I dunno if anyone has any interest in this title, but I just snagged one off Ebay for $15. I wasn't going to pay $40 for it, so if you want the game cheap, check Ebay for it. I've seen them as low as $9.99.

Hah, that looks classic! I'll definitely have to check eBay for a copy!
