Is Parasite Eve worth it?

[Ayen]

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?

[Aulayna]

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?

[Sephiroth]

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