«©NCSX» In an issue of Famitsu last month, readers of the magazine voted Machi (aka Town Fate Crossing) their fifth favorite game of all time. TOP FIVE. Games that didn't make the top five include Metal Gear Solid 2, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VII, Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga, and Sakura Taisen. The other games in the top five were as follows: Eve Burst Error
Grandia
Yu-No
Langrisser V - The End of Legend Note that all five games were Saturn releases although Machi was eventually released on the Playstation a year after the Saturn version. With this in mind, prospective buyers may cast an admiring eye towards this release although it's import unfriendly. The story focuses on the lives of eight Japanese citizens and their social connections and interplay over the course of five days. The characters are as follows: Masami Ushio - Age 36, a member of the Yakuza with a scar on the right side of his face
Yohei Tobisawa - Age 18, a high-school student who wears a blue suit
Jintaro Umabe - Age 36, an actor who looks like Masami Ushio
Keima Amemiya - Age 25, a goofy looking detective who wears a floppy hat
Yoshiko Hosoi - Age 20, the sole female operative in the adventure
Fumiyasu Ichikawa - Age 38, a writer who looks like he doesn't have a sense of humor
Ryuji Takamine - Age 25, a rough looking guy who was a deserter
Masashi Shinoda - Age 21, a college student; Players make choices for the various characters and then watch how those choices play out during the course of the interactive adventure. To add to the value, two scenarios have been added to the PSP version. Jan Code: 4974365900120 View the back cover and screenshots on the main NCSX website. This document is ©NCSX 2006.
