As most games start off, they have an Intro before going to the menu. Digital Devil Saga\'s intro was nothing but sweet, and the music that went with it was perfect. When you first start the game there\'s a Five (5) minute Cinematic scene which involves a battle between your Tribe and the Vanguard, but during your battle it gets interrupted by some strange power.
You start as the leader of the Embryon Tribe. There are a total of Six (6) major tribes which divide up the Junkyard in several different parts. All of the tribes are fighting each other to take over one another, and the tribe that becomes the triumphant out of the Six(6), they get to go to Nirvana, which is suppose to be like paradise and you get whatever you ever wished for.Now onto the battling. Before your first battle there\'s a Cinematic scene of your party turning into Demons a.k.a. Mantra\'s. In battle you can turn from being a demon back into a human again and shoot with pistols/shotguns. You also have to change One (1) or another party member into human to get a new combo. But after you defeat the enemy, the battle is over; your party devours the corpses of the enemy to recover their HP (Health) slightly. When a character levels, you can manually level your leader, Serph. You get 3 Statistic points to go where you choose, and when you hit level 10, you get 2 extra slots for special abilities, and although you don\'t get to level manually the rest of your party it\'s done automatically for you.Controls/Gameplay:The controls are basic. The \'X\' key is your action button, the \'O\' key is to cancel/back, the \'Square\' key is for the menu, and the \'Triangle\' key is for your map. You can use your Left Analog to move and your Right Analog to move your camera.Sound:The sound is great for the game. It fits perfectly nice, but can possibly get a little boring while fighting in the same place for a good hour.Graphics:I don\'t really know if the graphics are Cel Shaded or Polygons. Possibly a little bit of both, but anyways they\'re cool and the fighting graphics are nice also.Overall:You can have fun with this game for up to 40+ hours. The game is a great RPG and it has a good story to fit with it. When it\'s released I recommend giving it a good look, even a Buy. :)
