And believe me, I am not all that hard on games. I want to like games and I want to have fun, but there isn't much good about this game. First off, as the other review noted there is no story. You start the game off right in battle, and you expect the story to pick up after that right? Wrong. Think a story is going to show itself at the beginning? Wrong. I have yet to see any story. The only story you will get is from reading the book.

The game kind of reminds me of a Diabalo/Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen, except both of those games were good, and Dark Angel is not. If they would have just thrown in some good voice acting like in Legacy of Kain then the game would be so much better, but they didn't.

The graphics are definately subpar. The menu screen looks like something that could have easily been done on the PS1. Actually, the whole game looks like it could have been on the PS1. The only part that seems above par is the sounds and music. But there is only so many times you can hear a monster grunt, or one say "You'll regret that" after you wax him before that gets old.

They say this game is an Adventure/RPG. I don't see much RPG about it. There really isn't much freedom to wonder around. Guess my idea of a RPG is Phantasy Star, Summoner or Final Fantasy. On Dark Angel you point a silver cursor to one of the areas on the map then it shows brown dots go to that location. There is no getting attacked on your way to anything. Then all you do is crawl around level after level of some dungeon killing lots of monsters, picking up weapons or stuff, hitting switches, and sometimes killing some monster that gives you some item to fullfill a quest you got from one of the towns. Then you take the item back to the town and they give you some money. You also can collect items to take to these shrine things in the towns and they can raise your strength or one of your other attributes.

The towns are pretty bad too. There is very few people in each town, and probably only two of them are of any use to you. Meaning, there are probably only two of them that you can get a quest from and buy and sell items.

I see nothing original or good about the game (besides the sound). And unless you really like just mind numbing dungeon crawling, then I can't really recommend this game to anyone. I can see this game coming down in price real quick because once some people get the word out about how bad it is, people probably won't be buying it too much.

Please rent this game if you really feel the need to play it. Then decide whether or not to buy it, I have a feeling that after a few hours of playing it, you won't want to waste your money on it.

Believe me, I wanted to like this game. I really wanted it to be good, but it just isn't. Please don't make the mistake I did and buy this game because you think it's going to be good, it just isn't.
