Lunar Silver Star Story (4 Disk Edition)

My game came in near perfect condition! I absolutely love Lukie Games for giving me the opportunity to find the games I have wanted to get again! I've been recommending this site to all of my gamer friends and family! Thank you so much!

A classic rpg with excellent music and animation. The game has a good story with lovable characters --- a must play game.

I first learned of this game when someone reviewed one of the Lufia games and compared a certain aspect of its storyline to this one. This game, like a lot of titles released by the now-defunct Working Designs, was extremely expensive but worth every penny as far as I'm concerned. Quite apart from the quality of the game itself, it included some extra souvenirs. In this case there's a cloth map of the first area of the game, a small package of character standees (sort of like trading cards), and, my personal favorites, a making of disk that describes the making of the game and the porting from Sega to Playstation, and a music CD featuring tracks from the Playstation and Sega versions of the game. Story wise it starts out with your standard fare. Alex is a teenager living in a small village on an isolated island. His idol is the great Dragonmaster Dyne, the hero who protected Althena, the world of Lunar's benevolent goddess. Alex yearns to leave his home and have adventures like Dyne did. He gets his wish when his childhood friend Ramus suggests that they sneak into a cave occupied by a white dragon and steal a diamond supposedly worth thousands of silver. They set out for the cave accompanied by Alex's other friends, his childhood sweetheart Luna and the flying cat Nall. Much to their surprise, the dragon welcomes them into his lair and even willingly hands over the diamond. This marks just the beginning of the adventure. Rumors abound of a new Dragonmaster as well as a mysterious, evil being calling itself the Magic Emperor. It may be Alex's destiny to discover the truth of these rumors and to confront the evil plaguing the world of Lunar. One of the greatest aspects of the game is its incredible soundtrack, a sample of which is included on the music CD. You can also listen to the game's enntire soundtrack by using Alex's ocarina. The sound effects are also pretty cool, but what I really liked was the voice acting. Major cutscenes are fully voiced and then of course each character has a set of quotes that they utter in battle when they use magic or items or special abilities. There's also a special treat when you beat the game, the chance to listen to some bloopers from the voice actors' recording sessions, some of which come from the Sega versions of the game. And some of those outtakes are quite hilarious. All in all if you haven't played this game I highly recommend it. It's expensive, yes, but it's cheaper buying it from Lukie than anywhere else I've seen it. And it's worth every penny. It's one of the biggest reasons I'm considering buying myself a Playstation 2 or even a PS1.
