GAF - Import Review - Snatcher (Sega CD) (2902 words)
SD Snatcher was a classic style RPG using the Snatcher characters and storyline as it's setting and featured Super Deformed (thus the term SD) versions of all the characters.
Snatcher easily has one of the best-done localizations in the history of gaming, especially when considering the astronomical amount of dialogue that needed to be written.
Snatcher tried to set the standard, the voice acting is excellent for the most part, although a few characters sound a bit over-the-top.
SD Snatcher download @ Game Downloads (609 words)
It does take a bit away from the serious sci-fi atmosphere, what with everyone resembling a cute cartoon doll you'd win out of a crane machine, but the story is still as strong as it was before, although there are a number of differences to the original, none of which I'll spoil for you.
SD Snatcher does have the strangest combat engine I've seen.
It's a fantastic experience being able to see the Snatcher universe from a slightly different perspective, and whilst combat can get repetitive, the motivation is there to keep going just to find out what happens next in the story.
