What the title says -points- D,:
Ok, Galerians is a survival horror game for the Ps1(aka it's kinda old D: ) it is very unuqe in story and in it's bleek outlook on the future. The story: in the year 2522 a Dr. Stiener and Dr. Pascalle create the new age computer "Dorothy" whom can re-format herself(or something like that....I didn't quite get or the sceintiffic mumbbo jummbo D: ), Dorothy soon surpasses her senior computers and becomes mother comptuter of Michelangelo city, all seemed well until a single doubt crept into Dorothy's mind "why should I serve such an inferor race such as humans? why, if humans kill themselves, is it wrong for me to kill them?" then Dr. Steiner spoke to Dorothy of "God" he told her: "God is our creater, humans live in the world God created. they live with the destiny God has chosen for them, no one can go against that" Dorothy had seemed to serve mankind again but...in reality Dorothy begain to run programs on "God" and came to a frithening conclusion, her result was the "Family program", Dorothy took control of Michelangelo Memorial Hospital and experamented on human genes, she created the "Galerians" super humans with psycich abilities, relizing the danger, Dr. Stiener and Dr. Pascalle created a virus progam which they put into the brain of Pascalle's daughter, Lilia, and it's launch program they put into Dr. Stieners son, Rion.
You play through the game as Rion Steiner who had gained psycich abilities from drugs which were used on him in the Michelangelo Memorial Hospital(he also lost his memory D: ), his powers are: NALCON, Rion can send shockwaves at his enemies with it. RED, Rion can burn his enemies alive with it. D-FELON, Rion can control gravity around his enemies lifting them up into the air then sending them down crashing back to earth. Scanning, scanning objects can trigger cut scenes or give you hints as to where that key is hiding. Shorting, after awhile Rion's AP(anger points) will fill up, after it's full any use of Rion's attack power will result in shorting, whence shorting Rion will not be able to run and his HP(hit points) will slowly go down but when he is faceing and in range of an enemy Rion will kill it instently, there are drugs Rion can take to stop or start a short, Delmetor will stop Rion from shorting while Appoinar will raise his AP to shorting level. Rion's power is limited but can be returned when he injects himself with differant drugs called PPEC's(psycich power enhancement chemicals) which can be found pretty much anywhere.
The controls are pretty easy to get used to that is except moving.... moving can be very touchy and diffacualt if you panic(which i do alot....) but all the other controls are pretty good. You can't move the camra though and you get stuck with short pauses whenever you move to a new camra angle, walking through doors will cause long load screens which are constantly reminding you what game you are playing.....
The voice acting is bad.....very VERY bad there tons of points where the characters lips are moving but there isn't any dailogue or where there is dailogue and the character's lips aren't moveing, the casting is also very bad, I found quite afew characters with the wrong voice comeing out.
All in all, Galerians is a pretty good game with decent controls and an amazing story, dispite all it's flaues I would deffinently recomend Galerians.
Good points: -Good story -Cool villains -Descent controls
Bad points: -Horrible voice acting -Moving is way to diffacault....
Score: Three out of five.
