sanman Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Has anybody played any old PS2 games by Sandlot Games? What do you think of them? Tetsujin-28 Chikyuu Boueigun - Earth Defense Force This was a series of 3 games, each of which was quite awesome for its time. Robot Alchemic Drive - R.A.D. My favorite of them. I first played it years ago, and recently had a chance to play it again. It's just so f***ing awesome! I absolutely loved the whole concept, and the style of gameplay. You really feel like you're watching 15-storey giant robots fighting an epic battle! It feels this way because you're not riding inside the robot directly, but are instead just a little guy controlling yourbig bot from nearby. It's an extraordinary style that is unlike any other mech game. I'd really hope that an updated sequel gets made, using newer-generation console graphics.

KeezNah Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 RAD was tight stuff. If you got past the intimidating control scheme, you were in the f**king zone with this sh*t. Of course, there was a simplified control-scheme available as well, but where was the fun in meddling with that? Those awful character hair-dos though, my gawd. Talk about failed 80s animu-references. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanman Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I hear you, bro. Man, I just can't get enough of that giant robot battle goodness, with its thunderous action: http://s.ps2movies.ign.com/ps2/video/rad_0624_1.mov http://s.ps2movies.ign.com/ps2/video/rad_0624_2.mov http://s.ps2movies.ign.com/ps2/video/rad_0624_3.mov http://s.ps2movies.ign.com/ps2/video/rad_0624_4.mov http://s.ps2movies.ign.com/ps2/video/rad_0624_5.mov http://s.ps2movies.ign.com/ps2/video/rad_0624_6.mov They really need to make a sequel to this game.

MarketTantrik Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Holy sh*t!! These games are awesome. Thanks for bringing them to my attention. *heads to PlayAsia* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeezNah Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Haven't seen the localized version on PA, and the Japanese version is no longer in print. Ebay or bust? Incidentally, I'm looking forward to Dynamic Slash. That's still coming out, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanman Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 The Japanese version, under the title of "Gigantic Drive" had the better-looking cover I really wish this game had spawned some sequels, or even some imitation rip-offs, since its gameplay and whole visual style was so great. And thanks for that link to Dynamic Slash, btw. It looks nice, and if it's by Sandlot Games, then I think it'll be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
