PS2 Summon Night Gran-These: Horobi no Ken to Yakusoku no Kishi - New, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis Update: March 11, 2010 «©NCSX» A lad named Lost and a gal who answers to Millet are the selectable protagonists in Banpresto's latest Summon Night chapter. Lost's name is apt because he suffers from amnesia and has no knowledge about his past. Although Lost is lacking in memories, he's a formidable fighter with a strong sword hand. He's been summoned into the world by a trio named Coco, Dino, and Folt. Millet is more cognizant of herself but she's a frail girl who's not very worldly. She carries a firearm for her primary weapon in order to keep the distance between her and assorted enemies. Together, Lost and Millet are the vanguard of a team of adventurers in the latest Summon Night.    Previous volumes in the Summon Night series of games have fit into the S-RPG genre but Gran-These is an action-adventure where the heroes run, dodge, and attack in real time motion. The designers of the game gave the R-Analog thumb stick a "roll and dodge" function where simply nudging it sends either Lost or Millet into an evasive maneuver which is convenient when facing multiple enemies or bosses with powerful attacks that shouldn't be allowed to connect. Early preorders will ship with a bonus Official Visual Book which is being given away by Banpresto in 50% ratio.  Product Specifications Publisher: Banpresto Compatibility: Playstation 2 (Japan-Only) Language: Japanese Format: DVD-ROM Disc (Single-Layer) Japanese Product Name: サモンナイトグランテーゼ 滅びの剣と約束の騎士 Website: http://www.summonnight.net/snworld/sngt/   Product SKU: SLPS-25947 Jan Code: 4582224499274   NCS Game Notes * The save-data file takes up 121KB * Flight Plan developed the game for Banpresto. * Press START on the title screen and the following options pop up: NEW GAME - Start a new adventure as either Lost or Millet CONTINUE - Resume a game from memory card save-data GALLERY - View 77 pieces of artwork, logos, tutorials, and illustrations (most are locked) OPTION - Adjust sound volumes, map buttons, toggle Dual Shock vibration, etc * In the game introduction, a gathering of huge sword-shaped ships are seen in the sky which shoot out volleys of swords that dig deep into the land and split it apart by stress-fracturing everything.

He's greeted by Millet who wears a belly shirt.  * A unique creature that may be fought in the game is a pink elephant-like creature that sports four eyes.
