Parasite Eve is one of those action-RPG titles that keeps you interested throughout the entire mystery of a game. For its time of release, the game was very interesting and unlike traditional RPGs the game took place in the present(kind of). The story is very interesting as you are a police officer going to a concert on Christmas day with your wimpy date. Things are going great until everyone starts to burn to crisp! What is going on you ask? Well, a lot of weirdness is going on as you are the only one that's not affected by it. What does that mean? You'll have to find that out for yourself as you investigate the case.
The game plays very well as you will encounter monsters and will be free to walk around the battle area in order to dodge their attacks. It takes practice to dodge the attacks so be sure to be good using your controller! Of course, dodging is not the only action you can partake during the battle as you can take on the offensive and shoot the monsters. You will be able to shoot your enemies although just like in real life, if you are closer to your target then there will be a better chance of hitting it and it works the other way too. Be too far and you will probably miss. Of course, as you progress in the game you'll be able to power up your guns at the police station. Be sure to work with what's best for you, it's very important for your battle strategy. You can heal as well among other things so most RPG elements are used in this awesome title.
The music is very intense and will keep you on the edge of your seat. This is a horror-style game that mimics the legendary Resident Evil series in a couple of ways. You can think of this as a Resident Evil game made by Squaresoft which explains the RPG elements in the game. You couldn't have asked for anything better! Furthermore, the graphics are a joy to watch and were amazing for its time. Especially with the cut-scenes which shows why many developers decided to work with Sony rather than Nintendo during the 32-64bit wars.
Overall, you have a joy of a game to play through so be sure to pick it up as it's not that pricey on eBay. If you are lucky enough to find it in the wild then pick it up for sure. It's not only a great game but an awesome collectible. I sure hope you take my advice at some point! Until next week!

I loved this game when it came out. I finished it, but after you beat the game you can go back and there are two towers that you beat your to the top. I could never kill the two cockroaches that were at the top of the tower.
