There’s plenty of RPG games out there nowadays but what truly distinguishes them, is how they can be played. While most rely on tried and tested formulas, there are still some developers that try to bring innovation to the genre. With Avalon Code, Rising Star attempts to do just that by creating a rather unique concept. The story of the game tells the tale of a boy or girl who is prophesied to save the world. He/she does so by making a record of everything he/she comes across in a special book, so it can be transported over to the new world.

As a long time fan of the long running anime I knew that this game had to be checked out thoroughly. Although it finally made the jump from Japan to the rest of the world concluding with Europe at the end of February 2008, this took a while to happen as the Japanese version was out about two years ago.I do not own the English version of the game as I imported the Japanese version those two years ago and do not regret such a choice. The initial concept of the game is that is a fighter developed by the much praised Treasure inc. This theme fits the game perfectly as the anime itself focuses mainly on the constant fights Ichigo and his friends must endure in order to save the day. With this in mind the game follows the initial storyline arch which covers roughly the sixty four first episodes. In order to not spoil it for anyone I will not go into details of the story in this review.
