Deep Labyrinth Unleashed!

There once a movie called “Labyrinth.” It starred the beautiful Jennifer Conelly and the cool-eyed wonder David Bowie. The others were pretty much just muppets and puppets (how DO you know which is which). It had a young girl (Conelly) go through a large labyrinth just to reach the Goblin King’s (Bowie) tower and save her little brother (muppet?). Now there’s a game called “Deep Labyrinth“ that’s was just recently released, is it going to be populated by muppets as well? Let’s see.

Most RPGs are viewed from a third person’s point of view. Naturally because they’d like to see the character they’re playing. If the character doesn’t look good, expect the sales to go down pretty sharp. Sorry, but most RPG players like seeing their characters portrayed as cool and handsome. First Person Shooters (FPS) on the other hand, just shows the arm. That’s it. FPS players don’t mind because they all look the same anyway. They’re pretty much happy just wearing their ski masks and Army uniforms. What’s important to them is the gameplay and the way bodies explode on grenade launcher impact.

Labyrinth has mixed the two game features together. Presenting: the FPRPG. First Person Role Playing Game. You basically just see your arms most of the time in this game, but instead of wielding M-16s or spades, you’ll be fighting with swords, blocking with shields, casting spells, and using items. You’ll be fighting dragons and monsters, naturally.

You’ll be playing as Ace, a sixth grader. You and your dog will be in search of your parents who disappeared suddenly when they entered a mansion on the road. Dog goes in, boy follows (they never learn do they?–Dogs, I mean) and you’re teleported into the “Deep Labyrinth.”

The story,gameplay, and music from the people who brought you Chrono Trigger, FF VII, and Xenogears: Masato Kato and Yasunori Mitsuda.

Game released stateside: August 15, 2006.

Conelly not included.
