Guide Review - Crimson Sea
Crimson Sea is just the type of game Xbox players have been clamoring for. This Japanese title features all the things that Microsoft's console has been missing: spiky haired heros, bizarre yet strangely cool dialog, fantastic anime esque characters, and a solid single player experience.
In Crimson Sea you play the part of Sho, a genetically modified human with no memory of your past. You'll plow through hordes of mindless Mutons trying to collect waveforms to save the galaxy from the dreaded doomsday harmonic... ummm, it made more sense in the game.
Crimson Sea is a blast. The only things missing are a cooperative mode and more game. It is an amazing 10 hour game, but it is only 10 hours. I hope they put out a Crimson Sea 2.
