Is Parasite Eve worth it?

I have sixteen dollars left at the PlayStation Store after buying a one-hundred dollars gift card. I see they have Parasite Eve 1 and 2 for $5.99 a piece. Are they worth getting or should I shift my focus elsewhere?

Discuss.

I have the first one & haven't played it in forever. I think it might be worth getting, honestly. It's a horror type game set in NYC.

Edit: or go w/ Chrono Cross. I like both.

Edit: 1K post! w00t!

Yes. It's fantastic. Easily one of my favorite games of the PS1 era.

Good.

'Cause I was moving stuff around on my bed and accidentally hit the X button on my controller buying them both anyway.

Can't speak for the second one but the first Parasite Eve is fantastic! Hope you enjoy!

I have always loved parasite eve, and recently got to play the second. In my honest opinion, it would be worth way more than six bucks, and I would highly recommend them both.

It's pretty good.

I enjoy the weapon/armor customization and combat system in the first game enough to recommend it to people, but the second one is a lot more hit and miss; it feels a lot like an older Resident Evil game with odd quirks attached and less puzzles. I thoroughly enjoy the title, and actually like it more than the first, but I know enough people who were put off by it to be selective in recommending it.

Not that it matters, since you already bought it. ;)

(You should try to unlock the gunblade in the second game!)

I'm a fan of the older Resident Evil games so that shouldn't be much of a problem, unless it feels like a RE rip off like Dino Crisis did.

I couldn't stand it.

Resident evil meets Vagrant Story. I liked the concept but was not happy with the results.

First one never got released here, second one was enjoyable enough though!

So, did Parasite Eve 2 get renumbered or did they FFVII you guys?

It remained Parasite Eve II xD

I never got to play the first, but I did watch a Let's Play of it a few years ago. The second one I managed to get a hold of when it first came out and I really enjoyed it but I never managed to finish it - perhaps I'll emulate both of them one day and finish them. Isn't there also a third one out now for PSP/Vita?

I have all three. Get them. They are good story-wise and atmosphere-wise.
