____________________________

Believe it or not, even RPG aficionados such as me get tired of slaying dragons and rescuing princesses. Most of the time this means we have to give a WW2 shooter or something similar a spin, but sometimes there comes a game that strays away from the tried RPG formula to sate our tastes while at the same time giving us a chance to have a break from standard fare role playing. And more often than not these games appear pretty much out of the blue, and leave us all speechless. Folklore might not be the most advertised PS3 title on the market, but it sure fits the tag when it comes to unconventional fantasy gaming.

Having just picked this up last Friday I can say the review is pretty spot on. I am enjoying it as I share the reviewers feelings on wanting something besides dragons and princesses, so this is dead on. I am enjoying the unique Sixx axis features as they add some spice to it

thx guys.
while i am not sure this is my cup o tea, it is good to see variations in genres coming out instead of a steady release of the same thing over & over & over..

Yeah, Folklore is definitely one of the most unique action RPGs released in the last few years. Well worth a look if you are into the genre.
