Chaos Rings (4 Stars)


Now this is simply an amazing achievement for the iTouch. While playing Chaos Rings I swore I was playing a PS2 game as the graphics are amazing. The story is one spot where I feel it is lacking though and that is a big part of any RPG. The control is silky smooth and unlike alot of games where the "analog" stick is hard coded in postion this one is dynamic ... anywhere you touch the screen the stick shows up and that point is center so you can control it from where ever you want. Gameplay is straight "Final Fantasy-esqe" with one cool addition, you can fight solo with your parter and each have their own attack and target or you can pair up and do a more damaging attack. Only issue with this is that both parties will suffer damage when the enemy attacks. The spell effects are just as gorgeous as any Final Fantasy there is a huge variety in spells. Overall this game is a must have in that it really shows off what the iTouch can do and almost makes up for a "blah" story.
