Each time your character dies, more secrets about the forsaken world are revealed! * Deep customization options : The player has full control over how they shape their character and how they play the game. Find and equip a vast assortment of weapons and items, some with a variety of uses. Acquire powerful stat-boosting parasites and combine them to multiply their potency. Only the resourceful will survive!

  Awsome, I wanted to play this game ever since PS2. I really hope they don't make the control akward by overusing the remote's capability. Many third party developer had that problem on DS, where they put all the buttons on the touch screen and force user to use them (rather than opt for a choice to use either) and render all of the buttons on the console useless. Phantom Hourglass is a fine example.
