Don't know how, but rented this at Blockbuster a week earlier than the release date. I don't play much video games since I am not every good ate them. but this game is super fun. The game starts and after a short movie, you jump right in to an action pack game. It has a combination of everything: skateboarding, flying, exploring, save-the-love one, fighting monsters, puzzles, etc. It's taking me some time to play, but, again, I am not a very good gamer. I find it easy enough and challenging enough. Which makes it fun. Happy Gaming!

Non-stop Fun

I rented this game. I'm a 56 year old woman who loves her Playstation II. Normally, I'm not co-ordinated enough to do flying or racing. But this one is so much easier. It also makes you think. It's really an action advetnure. Very fun and enjoyable. Often I've missed several good television programs because I lost track of time playing this game.

I bought this game out of impulse and didn't play it for a while, but when i did finally decide to pick it up and play I could not put it down, that very rarely happens to me. The story is fun and exciting , it kept me moving along and wanting to help. The controls are easy, despite the large amount of different moves available. The gameplay is excellent, every detail is beautiful. It was like playing many games all in one. I am hoping there will be a sequel!!!

great game!

This game is really fun, though really hard, I played it 3 day (almost straight) and was able to beat it, though there were some time were I got frustrated, but I couldn't put the game down. It has a great story line, but I noticed alot of items simlar to another game, overall one of the best games I ever played.

Kya will Kick Your @ss

I didn't heard about Kya: Dark Lineage when it was released back in '03. On a whim I recently checked it out and after playing it I can say that this game is a fantastic platformer, with an interesting twist.
The game begins with you and your brother discovering your long vanished father's secret lab. Of course something goes wrong and you get transported to a parallel world. While there your brother quickly gets captured, but with a little assistance you escape. Also it turns out you're basically the native people's Keanu Reeves. Blah, blah, powers, blah, chosen one, blah, help us Kya, you're our only hope.
Your "power" is the ability to exorcize possessed Nativs. (Yes, the name of the natives is "Nativs") Anyway the villain of the game has kidnapped all of the Nativs and converted them into angry, often gun-toting, wolves called "Wolfen". Normally your button controls are a boomerang, jump, open door, use item, but when one of the wolfen is near your control changes to a combat setup - punch, kick, block, jump. If you beat the wolfen, he will lay unconscious with a number over his head. If you have at least that number of the collectable orbs you can exorcize them and free that individual - permanently. The interesting twist is that the combat sections are one time only. There is no respawning - once a wolf is freed, he'll go back to the town and never bother you again. (i.e., if you free one and then get killed, that one is still free and there will be one less Wolfen defending that area.) Often the game forces you to first run through and fight the wolfen, then afterwards solve the platforming puzzles - pull switch, stand on lever, etc.
Large parts of each level are speed traveling zones. There are these creatures called Jamgut. They are some sort of kangaroo/raptor thing that you can ride on. With a purchase from the enhancement shops you can get a long board for pipeline sections. Also there are a few long falling sections, where you are freefalling and trying to avoid obstacles.
Something that is way too often overlooked is the save system. With Kya you can save at any time. Also it automatically saves every time you free a Nativ or get to a checkpoint. For someone who rarely saves this is a big plus.
Visually this game reminds me of Jak & Daxter - it is detailed, but cartoon like. The gameplay and control feels very similar as well. If you like that game or platformers in general you'll probably like this as well. You'll get the normal level of irritation at platformer style mistakes - badly timed jumps or complex sequences (the sewer freefall was a chore), but the inventive combat system and extremely helpful navigation system make this a great game.

great family friendly game

We play our games with our 5 year old son watching and so screen carefully for what he is seeing. This game has all the best graphics, varied worlds, challenging play AND is fine for our kiddo to enjoy as well. Did you like Jak and Daxter (the first one)? Then you should like this game too.

Best Game I own

This is a really good game. Its easy for not all time players but not that easy. All throu her hair does anger me, stubid little deadlock ring.[ look whos talking, I can't even spell stubid.} It is also a really long game not one where you can finish in a weekend.

I have beaten this game. It took quite a while, and a lot of gameplay going back and forth. It was quite fun free-falling, and using the slides! I had a great time playing it.

The worlds are well put together, I do wish that it had better mapping, but I got around using what was there. I loved trying those kick-@ss moves on those wolves!! (Swinging them around by their tails and such.) It was one of the best platform games I've played thus far. It does stand up there within the top 10 with Rachet & Clank, and Jak & Daxter.

Don't waste your time renting it, buy this one. It's worth having if you want to try some cool things as far as fighting, riding a dino-type thing, free-falling, wind floating, and small puzzles...that take you places. :-) This one takes longer than a couple of days.

Great surprise!

I'm not a big fan of this type of game, 3D plataformer. I have to say that my prefered genre is survival horror (RE, Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, etc), but this game is so much fun, i can't denie. It reminded me a lot Rayman 2 and Nights: Into Dreams. The best aspect of this games is that it is very simple to play, although offer a good mix of gameplay. The story is very interesting, really catch the attention of the player. Graphics are also very good, bouth artistic and technically. Sound is good to, with good voice acting. If you like this type of game, don't hesitate, buy it right now, or at least rent it.
