Koudelka for PlayStation 1

Pros: major shock wave

Cons: prospect

Review: As genre cross-pollination goes, Koudelka is one of the most ambitious and risky to date. While ostensibly the latest addition to the long line of "Survival Horror" wannabes, Koudelka muddies the waters somewhat with the implementation of an...

Pros: Movies, graphics, central character, atmosphere, sound effects, some battles

Cons: Most battles dull, weapon/magic system unnecessarily complex

The Bottom Line: ON REPLAYING GAME I FOUND THE BATTLES LESS OF A PROBLEM AND THE GARGOYLE BATTLE THE BEST IN ANY GAME. I ALSO APPRECIATED THE STORY MORE

Review: There seems to be a myth that the video game market is flooded with good horror/survivor type games. I`ve done more than a bit of investigation and found this not to be the case ...... which is why Koudelka is such a disappointment for me. Koudelka is a ...

Pros: Intense Storyline, Clear FMVs

Cons: Controls need some major work

Review: What would happen if game developers took an ancient story/myth and turned it into a game? Koudleka. With a gothic-horror touch of environment Koudelka takes a secret about a monastery and turns it into a survival horror game. Taking on the role of three...

Pros: great CG's and graphics

Cons: battles are to long

Review: Fans of Horror Survival games should check this one out! This an Action Adventure style game at its best.
The Game centers around a female character who is drawn to a monastery to unveil a mystery.
The game, which spans over 4 disks and...

Pros: Intense Storyline, Clear FMVs

Cons: Controls need some major work

Review: In my previous review/opinion of Koudelka I basically explained the storyline as well as the sound and graphics of the game. I will admit that I made said thoughts upon only playing the game after an hour or so. Having decided to restart it and spend...

Pros: Graphics, Story line

Cons: random encounters

Review: I picked up this game because I heard, and read, it was like a mix between Final Fantasy and Resident Evil. It's true! It is. BUT...You spend so much time in random encounters I got bored about 4 hours into it. You cannot "clear" an area of...

Pros: character development,voice acting,multitude of weapons

Cons: length of battles

Review: This game bridges the gap between the RPG and survival-horror genres rather nicely. The look and control will remind one of the RE series,while the level building and random battles(which occur often)are classic RPG. The voice acting is among the better...

Pros: Graphics, level up system, story, no reading

Cons: battle system, loading, music, spells, the little things...

Review: Ok, maybe its because role playing games is my favorite type of game to play and maybe my standards are a little high after playing games from the final fantasy series, but Koudelka was a big disappointment. After reading other reviews, I thought this...

Pros: Great Visuals, In-game movies

Cons: Too short, battle sequences too long and random

Review: Koudelka is a very good game for any gamer to pick up. It is full of beautiful in-game movies, as well as terrific backgrounds. The backgrounds look a lot like those from Resident Evil and they are sure to make you cringe. The game has some great...

Pros: Great graphics

Cons: Unbalanced game, slow battles, tedious level building necessary

Review: When I bought Koudelka, I thought that I was in for a treat as an RPG gamer. I sat through the wonderful intro, admiring the full rendered video and the voice that accompanied it. I was impressed with the game. Until I played it for about 6 hours.
