Suikoden V next month News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PlayStation 2

In time for 10th anniversary.

The fifth incarnation - or should that be incantation - of the Suikoden series is due in Europe for PlayStation 2 next month.

Marking the tenth anniversary of the popular role-playing series, Suikoden V sees players hike across the land of Farlena, accompanied by a whopping 108 followers.

New additions to the series include six character simultaneous skirmishes and 20 different combat formations.

Eurogamer reviewed the US version of Suikoden V way back in April, and although there are faults, we noted that it's "a most heart-warming of homecomings." Which makes it sound like cuddling a lost puppy dog.

Suikoden V is published by Konami and will retail for around GBP29.99. So you'd best start raiding treasure chests for gold coins in anticipation.

I loved Suikoden 1 and 2 but i hated 3, so didnt feel compelled to play the 4th one, anyone know if 4 and 5 are as good as the original 2?

Avoid 4 like the plague! Seriously, it's a complete abomination. 5, however, is thoroughly enjoyable and very much in the vein of the first two games.

That's thirty EUROs, not thirty quid. The RRP over here is �20.

I am incredibly relieved to say Suikoden V is a PROPER Suikoden game

If you are a fan of the first 2 then I would definitely recommend it!

The characters can be setup in a variety of fighting formations across a roughly 6x4 grid. Each formation allows the party to gain increased statistics, such as increased defense or increased attacks, occasionally offset by decreased stats in other categories, as well as a special attack based on the formation. New formations are acquired over the course of the game. -County Line Nissan
