I just got shaman king for the ps2 and am at the final episode, and I can truly say that your kids will like it. However, the game does stray completely from the original story around half way through the game. It's kind of one of those alternate universe stories. There a few minor points within the game where things can get hard, but you do get unlimited continues if you happen to get game over.

The system is a tactile one, except, when you battle with yoh, you actually get to control yoh and the game becomes sort of a fighter. You'll see what I mean once they start playing.

Also, one last bit of information. ESRB rates games according to age, not by gameplay and difficulty, but content. Just in case you didn't know. I've actually run across a few E games where I found the game impossibly hard for a 6-7 year old. And I've also found some games, rated mature, where it was definatly playable(difficulty wise) but were filled with tons of gore, blood, cussing, and other suggestive themes. I might suggest renting games before you buy them if you're not sure if your kids would be able to play it. Sometimes the backs of games don't give a real impression of difficulty, or any impression of how a game is played at all. Take Genji for example, it basically says control 2 characters in an epic story. It's really alot more in depth than that.


Life brings death.
Death brings eyes.
Each time we blink
we open our eyes again,
yet, when we blink our last
people will close their eyes and tear.

However, the death will cause people to eventually open their eyes once again.
Become stronger, strive to live as long as they can.
Life brings death.
Death Brings life.

Now I can't wait for them to open Shaman King.Hahahaha! Maybe I just want to try it. Harvest moon huh? I'll check it out.

What about Kingdom Hearts? It's a Disney anime hybrid right or am I confused?

It is, but I didn't mention Kingdom Hearts because it may be too hard to play for little kids. But I could be wrong.

Final Fantasy 9 is great too, possibly the best ff game ever yet, or at least, to me lol

Final Fantasy 7 , 8 and 9 are the best Final Fantasy games ever. So any of the three.

I first played FF7 when I was 10 yrs. old, that is when it was released. I begged to get the money, and I got it a few months later.

I agree with Vesperd-kun's post completely, Final Fantasy changed my views of life and made me smarter. There are so many morals and lessons on life to be learned. Especially in Final Fantasy 8!!

10 is a good one,don't get 10-2,you may not want your kids seeing them go nakey when they change to their ultimate form,even though you still can't see anything,and all that Al Bhed(which I've mastered)couldmess up their brains.12 is fun but it may be difficult for them to understand,I think there's a lot more stuff on this than others so it could be difficult

Alright I got final fantasy 7. Should I give that to the oldest or the youngest? My Youngest has started talking about wanting a Full Metal Alchemist game (he prtends he is Mustang all the time, quite funny to watch) Would a FMA game be appropriate? I can't thank you guys enough for all of your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
