Amazon.com Review:
A futuristic horror/sci-fi game geared towards anime fans, Galerians: Ash places you in a weird future where a sentient computer with delusions of godhood genetically engineers and manipulates humans with telekinetic abilities. The premise and storyline blatantly--and effectively--mimic The Matrix and Dark City (and even Johnny Mnemonic); the graphics, sound, and style fall somewhere between Akira and Silent Hill.
To those unfamiliar with the original Galerians, this game will make little sense, and unfortunately the frequent cutscenes do little to clarify the storyline. In a nutshell: You are a boy endowed with psychic powers, and your brain contains a program that can save humanity from the computer-god. Unfortunately, you suffer from amnesia. And frequent migraine attacks. Or something like that.
For the most part, you make your way through the labyrinthine city, solving elaborate puzzles and collecting pharmaceuticals that enable your telekinetic powers. When the baddies appear, you can use a variety of cool attacks to repel them: conjure fire, levitate your adversaries, throw up a psychic shield, etc. However, if you overuse your abilities, you begin to "short"--a crippling psychic overdose that leaves you invulnerable to outside attack but slowly kills you if you can't find the necessary antidote.
Since you battle enemies by manipulating your psychic powers, the game's controls are not exactly intuitive, and the comparative potency and range of your various abilities takes a lot of figuring out. But if you're worn out on games that rely on guns, swords, or jujitsu, this one offers some unique and inspired twists on first-person combat. And the creepy graphics and grating sound effects create an atmosphere that will either draw you in... or drive you mad. --Maile Bohlmann
Pros: - Attacks and maneuvers are unique--and bizarre
- Cinematic style will appeal to fans of anime
- Memorably weird environments
Cons: - Thoroughly perplexing storyline
- Action constantly interrupted by cutscenes
- Controls and abilities difficult to figure out

I rented this game a short time ago and found it to be rather entertaining. The box caught my eye with it's anime-like style and the description on the back sounded interesting. So I rent it from Blockbuster and take it home. After loading it up in my ps2 and watching the intro, I realize something.
I have no clue what's going on.
I had no idea there was a game before this (Galerians for the Play Station) and was already at a huge disadvantage from the get-go. Never the ... Read More

Our reluctant artificial human with the psychic powers returns from the dead for the awaited sequel to the PSX Galerians game. Although, much like the game's hero, this sequel itself awakes to a changed world. This changed world comes not only from improved standards in gaming, but now other titles using the "power of the mind" element. Yes, Galerians may have had the idea first, and delivered it in an original story that still may be the most interesting; but this will only take it so far.

I was a big fan of the original since it was a new face in the survival horror genre and I anticipated a good following chapter. What I have seen from playing it is a stomach wrenching mess. The game has dropped lower than what the first managed to scrape together in all fronts. Sound and music is decent. Voice acting is bad even for a survival horror game. And speaking of the genre, what is this game? Its a tangled mess of different types. Gameplay is dull with an RPGish atmosphere losing all of its ... Read More

When I got the game it seemed amazing, but as you get father in the game you can't stop playing it. The graphics on this are really really cool. the is one of the top ten RPGs.So to all you RPG fans out there buy this game.

I've been waiting for this game forever since getting the first game. The first was one of the best games I have ever played, a tad short on playing time but an innovative, original story which is severely lacking in today's generic worn-out survival horror genre. I got my copy of Galerians: Ash today, and as soon as the intro started playing I knew that this was worth the wait and more. The graphics are obviously better than its PS1 counterpart, and the story is just as good and has fresh touches. It's ... Read More
