It's just a little below Halo's standards. Good game, just not as good as any of the other Halos.
Best sound effects for any Halo though.

On the doorstep of what promises to be the Very Definitely Final Dungeon in The Last Story.
That boss battle against the red Sentinel Beast (another sixwinged dragon -thing) was awesome. Mirania, did you really just steal one of Syrenne's lines and say "let's kick some arse"? Awesome moment ensues when you can tell Calista to use the Ancient Summon once to call in the blue Sentinel Beast. It clips the boss's wings, making it much easier to fight. Except that instead of bombarding you with magic and dragonfire from afar, now it bombards you with magic and dragonfire up close and personal. I actually beat it on the first try, but then I wanted to show Mom the creature and got killed twice in the process.
Zael also finally got to throw down with Jirall, though not under the best of circumstances since that cursed blade he got from Zangurak was literally driving him (more) crazy.
Then there's the monster known as the Last Cocoon. By the time it hatches it assumes the form of the first boss in the game, but the tactics are different. And then it grows into a 50-foot tall monstrosity and the battle starts all over again. However, finally getting to pin it to the ground and smash that giant hanging sword-ornament-thing down upon it (before Zael gives it a cutscene coup-de-grace to the face) was totally epic.

Playing Rogue Galaxy on PS2
I have a bunch of RPGs and other games I had purchased for $5 bucks and did a 10 minute test. Which game will get your interest in the first 10 minutes. Rogue Galaxy was the winner. When I think about it, I can also understand Final Fantasy 7's popularity. Sure it wasn't the greatest RPG all around but it didn't piss around setting up characters....and then ok here's your battle (take it easy bro!). It basically threw you into action within the first few minutes.
There are a lot of cutscenes, but I have to say I like the voice acting and art direction. It's got that Space Adventure vibe so it's great so far. It has operation like Kingdom Hearts where it's active time battle.
I'll check Shatter out when I get a chance. I'm actually juggling several games. 1 on DS Lite, 2 on Steam, 2 on PS2/PSX

Rogue Galaxy was indeed fun (though to be perfectly honest, the length and size of the dungeons does start getting tedious. Especially the twin towers dungeon; you have to climb up both). The Insector minigame is pretty fund too. And the game is pretty. Very pretty.
Always keep a full stock of healing potions/revives on you, though, there are no healing spells/abilities in this game at all and you will definitely need them for the game's final boss(es).
Speaking of which, I just reached the very-definitely-final boss in The Last Story. Not spoiling his identity, but it's a three-phase battle, his HP bar just gets bigger and bigger each time, and DAMN his final form hits hard. Like one-hit KO if you're not defending hard. Oh, and anytime someone gets knocked down (which happens a lot) he picks them up to crush them for a one-hit KO (you can wiggle out of it for no damage, but your other party members are not so lucky). He's apparently Star element (weak to Nature) but the only Nature weapon I have is Mirania's Forest spell, and I can't have her casting that all the time since I also need Calista casting Shining a lot so I can keep a Barrier active, and they are also my only healers. And Mirania can cast Revive every now and then.

I beat Sonic Generations sufficiently enough for now. I will be going back for all those challenges and red star rings though.
My friend got me back into Saints Row 2. Such awesome goofy fun. Also I decided to finally decimate Gokujou Pariodius. I keep getting wasted on the Let's Dance level, but mark my words. Gonna. Beat. It. After these it's R-Type 3, Twilight Princess, Demon's Souls. Good stuff all around.

I picked up Akai Katana. I have no idea why, but I seem to do better when I'm away from a game for a bit. I actually 1CCed it. Was not expecting that. Last boss made sure to get me to one life though, fucking bitch.
I remember beating G. Parodius. I think Viva Core got me good at the end of the speed zone. And god...Sonic Generations was such a fucking good game.

Finally took down the final boss in The Last Story. After three Game Overs, finally managed to keep Calista casting enough Holy spells to keep up an active Barrier (which, combined with Dragon Armor +7, reduces damage to me by a whopping 90%), I managed to keep Gathering active often enough to keep my teammates safe from the boss's attacks, managed to link up a few good chains with Syrenne for increased damage, and wore it down. Battle still took like half an hour though....
Hey, there's a save point after the final boss? Anyway, I made sure to pick up those two rare swords (East Wing and West Wing, off one of the bosses) on the way out. And you get to wander around town more or less as much as you want, too! You can even take Sir Therius up on his offer to "cross swords" with you, there are at least two more dungeon crawls waiting, exclusive armors for Zael (Knight Armor) and Calista (her blue hooded cloak).
Eventually the credits roll, and the game offers to make a new save file for the New Game Plus. Y'know, another run through of a 30-hour adventure. What to do first, though? I really want to go make another attempt at taking down some Cave Cougars....

Man dying in the speed zone stinks because you have to get your speed up before the screen scrolling kills you. Gewd gaim.

Haha, only five?! That looks insane. I got to the end of Let's Dance and got destroyed by "Dancey Legs" as I call her. Maybe next time. Man I'm so happy to find someone else who's hardcore about shooters.

Been playing Locomalito's home cooked indies. :3
There's another here who is somewhat. Vaelarsa. She likes them.
If you like Gradius and GOOD retro styled indies that have real effort put into them, you this to yourself.

Best part of the whole game.
