STUDIO GHIBLI MEETS POKEMON in NI NO KUNI... An Amazing Role Playing Adventure That Takes the Best Anime Has to Offer!!!

NI NO KUNI
PS3
Single Player
Rated: PG


It's amazing how films and videogames are slowing coming together to create the entertainment of the future. Forget about dodgy movie-tie in games, and low budget cinematic snore-fests based on 
videogames, we're talking about some of the awesome stuff being done, that goes light-years beyond any of that - a prime example, is Ni No Kuni!!!



If you're a fan of anime, it's assured that you're already familiar with Studio Ghibli, who have created a slew of legendary animated films including My Neighbor Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, and Ponyo. For the first time ever, Studio Ghibili have collaborated with a videogame developer (Level 5), to create the cinematic sequences for a RPG (Role Playing Game) adventure.



The result is an amazing experience that fans of Studio Ghibli’s films won't want to miss. Anyone that digs RPGs like Pokemon, the anime visuals of Professor Layton, or just Role Playing Games in general, will be blown away by what Ni No Kuni has to offer. 



It’s an almost perfect game experience, which is gorgeously animated, has a great storyline, brilliant music (by legendary Ghibli composer Joe Hisaishi), and compelling gameplay. It’s the tale of Oliver, a young boy who embarks on a quest to become a magician so that he can resurrect his mother. 



Oliver's jourmey takes him to a strange parallel world where he makes new friends and adopts many of the strange creatures he finds roaming the countryside. Once trained, they will become his allies in the many dangers he’ll face, including battles with all manner of monsters.



Ni No Kuni is a fantastic blend of cinematic anime storytelling, great gameplay, and characters that you really start to care about. It's extremely hard to fault  – brilliant stuff!
