Trinity: Souls Of Zill O'll - Playstation 3

This game is one of the best game from KOEI, it combines RPG with KOEI's "WUSOU" action style, Weapons and missions are random like diablo, and a long fine storyline, it takes me more than 50hrs to finish most of the side-missions before I hit the final stage. It's a very nice game in all!

Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll (Trinity: SoZO) is a game that was given a very harsh review by the big companies; perhaps too harsh. While Trinity: SoZO is not a fantastic RPG, it isn't a bad one either. With well over 40 hours of gameplay here, and a solid storyline Trinity: SoZO will be a game that you simply can't put down until the final credits roll.GAMEPLAYTrinity: SoZO feels a bit like Dynasty Warriors with a more solid RPG element to it. You will have a party of 3 and can switch between characters at whim. Each character has skills you map to the controller (12 skills, can map a total of only 6). For much of the early part of the game (first 6-10 hours) you can expect to partake in tons of quests and arena fights to boost your skill level. Once you get past the initial early grind the game begins to open up and allow a much more free roam feel in terms of what you can do. "Quests" are randomly handed out be it from the Adventures Guild or by partaking in conversations in various taverns or shops. When you aren't in towns you will be out in the world in a large variety of areas fighting mobs. The game plays like a bit like a hack and slash then; plowing through lots of trash mobs with the occasional tough mob or even a boss grade mob. Just when you think things might be getting far to repetitive, the game will throw in some new features (such as chain combos). Overall the gameplay is quite a lot of fun and provides a non-stop flow of action but can get a little repetitive due to quests often taking you back to the same areasGRAPHICSThe graphics are okay. They aren't mind blowing but they feel early PS3 in quality(720p). The part that hurts the game graphically is this annoying "filter" that is put over the game. You can not turn this filter off. "During gameplay" the filter is actually rather nice. It gives the game this nice PS3 water-painting look to it. However during cut-scenes the filter was just down right horrible! I mean the center of the cut-sceen looked gorgeous but the surrounding area had this dried up water-painting look (at times it looked like PS2 graphics due to the filter). There should of been an option to turn this filter off at least for cut-scenesSOUND/STORYThe audio quality isn't bad. Combat sounds get a bit repetitive as does constantly spamming your skills. The main cast does a decent job with the voice acting but at times you could clearly see "edits" in the dialogue and awkward pauses. It isn't bad, but it isn't Final Fantasy quality here either so basically average. The story is actually quite refreshing. At first things will start slow but once the end of chapter 2 hits the storyline will draw you in. Rather than going around owning mobs or grinding the Arena I found myself plowing through storyline quests anxious to dig up more of what is going on. Even asking around at Taverns became a bit more eventful as rumors would be going around that might give clues to the overall picture being drawn here. Overall the storyline wasn't a masterpiece , but it actually was easy to follow and very interesting!OVERALL (84% 8.4 / B)Trinity: SoZO gets an 84% from me. It is a solid RPG that might start slow but will actually get better the more time you put into it. Questing can be a lot of fun and has plenty of variety to the quest types (hunting, escort, rescue, gathering, etc). If you enjoy RPG's and enjoy Hack and Slash gameplay, this game does a pretty good job blending the two elements together. What comes out is a fairly good RPG that brings adventure, story and lots of gameplay to the tablePROS- Over 40hrs of gameplay (not including extras I have yet to attempt)- Plenty of quests to do including a 50 level Labyrinth!- A nice variety to the combat system (12 skills per person; only 6 usable at one time... can chain skills together to make long combo chains)- Enjoyable StorylineCONS- While there are tons of quests, it can be very easy to over level and end up with quests that are low level / incredibly repetitive (you revisit the same 2-3 areas over and over)- Filter really ruins the cut-scenes- No replay value (you can platinum trophy the game in one play-through, and there is little reason to start a brand new game over again)- The game isn't very straight forward at times with main quest hints like "Continue to work on advancing while separated from your party". You could spend hours just running around when all you had to do was go to Town C and speak to the Adventure Guild (Town B's guild wouldn't do anything for you)

I am not a rpg gamer, i do like them but hardly finish them. I got this game because i like dynasty warriors and samurai warriors and this is made by the same people and has been compaired to them. The combat is similar and thats about the extent of the similarities ive seen. I really enjoy this game alot and its a shame that it was released around the same time as mass effect 2 and dragons age 2 because im sure it will get overlooked. One thing i want to say is this game really should be played its a good solid effort by koei and a rpg. The story is typical fantasy stuff and the graphics are far inferior to mass effect and other rpgs ive seen/played but it is really fun. I know this isnt much of a review its just my opinions on a game that seems to be really overlooked and its a shame cause its a good game. I agree with others that you should wait till it goes down in price and then pick it up as the 60 new game price is a little steep for what you get (i'd say around 30-40). Also as a side note this is the 3rd game in the series and the first 2 never made it to the states but i've never played the 1st two and i can follow the story just fine.

This will be very short i'm not much for leaving feedback. Well , let's just start by saying this game is well under rated i'm very surprized at ign's review also after playing this well made "rpg", and honestly now question their reviews and wonder if they really enjoy gaming or do it just to say ok i'm done with it , anyway it takes a good 8 hours to really kick in and get to the real action the whole lever up system and arts/fighing has a great feel to them don't feel cheap or thrown together like a lot of the never games do, you know those man this feels cheap moments, it has none! i'm about 37 hours in and it just keeps getting better and better i almost can't put down the remote anyways i'm an older gaming vet this will be my 27th year playing console games old school gamers rejoice this ones for you!! don't miss this if you are a big rpg fan like myself . Enjoy!!

Took a long time to receive. Game works. Fum game to boot!

Time for a review from someone who is *not* employed by the marketing department of the game manufacturer.The only kind of video game I play is RPGs, so I thought I would try this one. The game had potential until the fight with Reig. You cannot avoid this battle, it is required.You are given a sword by your mentor, but after one swing of what is supposed to be a three swing combo, Reig will hit you with three blasts of lightning, against which you have no defense. Each time he does that, you lose 10% of your life. One battle I just tried running and rolling to the right or left, and I could not keep away from him.I tried the battle several times, and never had Reig's health down 20%. Up until the Reig battle, the game was fun.I am throwing the game away. Good luck!

Zill O'll is a decent button hack-n-slash game. The graphics are good for a 2011 game and the sound is nice. The monsters and battle areas are nice. There are skills to level up and new equipment to buy. Each character has melee and magic to use, and these attacks are easily utilized in combat. This is a pretty fun game.

Came in on time perfectly packaged as described and in good condition.
