Solatorobo Red the Hunter
SCORE: 77
Solatorobo Red the Hunter is an
interesting role playing game on the Nintendo DS with a few Nintendo DSi
features. The coolest one is to take a picture of yourself and put it on
the profile of the game. The characters in Solatorobo Red the Hunter are
dogs and cats. Well dogs and cats that stand up like humans, and talk.
The main character Red has a bone in his mouth.
Solatorobo Red the Hunter is a bright and colorful hand held video game.
Red goes around in his robot which looks a bit like a mech. It lengthens
his arms and legs. He fights other robots. This is done by picking them
up, flipping them up, and throwing them around. Red can also pick
missiles and bombs out of the air. He will then throw them at the
enemies. Usually the enemies are other robots, but at times they are
things like giant fish. There is also one shot of a female character
wearing skin right clothes. It is a very short and brief shot.
The music in Solatorobo Red the Hunter is shockingly good. There are
also some special effect sounds when there is dialogue that fit this
game famously. The whole dogs and cats things works better than one
would expect it to. The Solatorobo Red the Hunter package Family
Friendly Gaming was provided includes an audio CD. So you can take the
music with you. There are a few words here and there that could have
been left on the development floor.
Solatorobo Red the Hunter is an easy game that most gamers can blow
through in ten hours. But then we found out Solatorobo Red the Hunter
continues on after the game ending. Plus there are many things that can
be done like quests, finding music, pictures, and more. Solatorobo Red
the Hunter includes a fishing game, and a flying racing game as well.
All of this adds to the replay value of Solatorobo Red the Hunter. In
this reviewer's opinion Solatorobo Red the Hunter is worth the price of
admission.
The puzzle elements of Solatorobo Red the Hunter are a lot of fun to
play. The fighting action in Solatorobo Red the Hunter gets boring. This
Nintendo DS game tries to shake things up by making the player use
certain strategies to beat different enemies. The enemies change up
enough to keep the player on their toes. Thankfully Solatorobo Red the
Hunter is kind enough to allow players time to learn the patterns. The
storyline generally flows in this hand held title. There are a few
points where side quests had to be completed to acquire a hunter rank
high enough to continue the storyline.
Initially the impression of Solatorobo Red the Hunter is there was no
religious content. However there is a religion shown in Solatorobo Red
the Hunter. This one town has a 'holy' mountain where the people worship
upside down looking anchors. Interesting idol. They follow a belief
about birds ferrying the souls of the dead. Sounds like someone in the
creative process of Solatorobo Red the Hunter has seen The Crow one time
too many.
Thankfully Solatorobo Red the Hunter is a lot cleaner in the religious
aspects than most role playing games. The previously mentioned content
can be bypassed and even missed. Players will understand it is some
religious town, but unless they talk to everyone they will miss the
deeper aspects. There are also some fantastic concepts in Solatorobo Red
the Hunter. Being willing to sacrifice someone for the greater good, or
finding another way to stop a major destructive power.
Solatorobo Red the Hunter is one of the more interesting role playing
games we have seen here at Family Friendly Gaming. The world is
generally more friendly than most role playing games, and certainly less
violent. This reviewer would like to see sequels to this franchise in
the future. Solatorobo Red the Hunter includes a multicard feature for
up to four family members.
