Rare brings back their instant-classic action game Conker with a new multiplayer twist.
These skills are also more useful in this game than in any other RPG I've played; in most games, social skills are rarely worth putting hard-earned points into, but here they're definitely worth it.
Those of us used to harder RPGs have no problem with this idea, but many times it's hard for the player to know that they did something wrong to screw the quest up.

 Featuring Harbinger Review at ActionTrip
Their latest action RPG, Harbinger takes players through a very immersive sci-fi plot, offering an intriguing mish-mash of revenge, as well as a desperate struggle for survival and freedom.
Regardless, the game lacks gameplay depth for an action RPG, which means more skills, weapons, and items are needed to grab the attention of the hardcore crowd.
Another slightly disappointing RPG aspect is that the player doesn't get to advance any skills that would allow him to use other weapons besides those he uses by default.

 Emuforums.com - Adventure vs. Action RPG
Action RPG created when an action game is combined with any elements of RPG, and the important one is character development.
For example, Zelda 64 was considered an adventure game in Japan; in the USA, an action RPG.
Action RPG = action games (hack n' slash, platforms, etc) coupled with RPG elements (HP, experience points, upgrade weapons/armors, etc).

 Gamingforce Interactive Forums - Would you consider Ratchet & Clank 2 an Action RPG?
I don't consider it an Action RPG, I consider it more of an Action game with bits from other genres.
No, it's just an Action game with infused with RPG elements.
Even the Insomniac staff say it's not an action RPG in the "making of" video which you unlock in the game.

 Champions of Norrath: Realms of EverQuest, Review at Next Level Gaming!
And until such time as someone else comes along with an online action RPG of their own, this will be a game of choice for many fans of the genre.
Champions is the first ever console action RPG for the Playstation 2.
The RPG element is very strong in Champions of Norrath, and is very well integrated into the gameplay engine.

 GameSpy.com - Review
The Lowdown: A great action RPG that's suffered a little in its transition to the GC.
To put it mildly, I was more than a little suspicious of this game, but fortunately, BG:DA is not of that ilk; it's a highly-polished hack-and-slash dungeon-crawl RPG for one or two players.
As a console gamer I'm only barely cognizant of those games, since PC-style RPGs send me into paroxysms of despair and glazed-eye reveries of boredom whenever I get near them.

 Full Metal Alchemist 2: Akaki Elixir no Akuma (Full Metal Alchemist: Curse of the Crimson Elixir) Review
If you played the first game, Kingdom Hearts or any other action RPG you already have a good idea of what the gameplay is like.
The transmute power certainly keeps the game from being just another action RPG.
Full Metal Alchemist 2: Akaki Elixir no Akuma is Square-Enix's latest action RPG based on the series.

 Cinemania!  The Cinematic Action RPG
In such cases, the Director decides on the difficulty of the action, rated from 1 to 10 (or even higher), and the action succeeds if the player's final total has an equal or higher value than the difficulty, or fails if the final total has a lower value than the difficulty.
If an “Actor vs. Actor” or “Actor vs. Feature Role” Action is being performed, each chip adds 1 to the player’s total; this can be done after both players have played their cards, and both players can increase their “ante” in turns until one gives up.
A +2 to ANY Actions, and automatic success on any ”Actor vs. Movie” Actions except those that are extremely important to the Script.

 GladiatorsRPG-Comic Book and Role Playing Game in One
So, I created GladiatorsRPG, an easy to learn RPG that 's simple as checkers at the beginner level but develops into a strategy game as difficult as renju (go or pente) at the expert level.
GladiatorsRPG is not what the average RPG player expects.
The portability of trading card games is a very attractive concept that I wanted to see transferred into the world of RPGs.

 X-Men Legends review
This makes the characters look not quite as sharp as in other action RPG games.
X-Men Legends is an action RPG where you get the chance to assemble, train and lead your own X-Men fighting force in a battle against some of the deadliest foes in the Marvel Universe, including the Morlocks, the Brotherhood of Mutants and robotic Sentinels.
But a friend or three can jump into your single player game at any time for some co-op action through the story mode.

 PLAYSTATION 2 VIDEO GAME REVIEWS...Orphen: Scion of Sorcery _______________________________________________PlayStation 2 PS2actionrpganimeActivisionOrphenScion of Sorceryvideo gamePlaystationgame
RPG fans must try a rental for this one, but I can't say it meets my criteria for a great RPG on PlayStation 2.
One thing that will seem strange to RPG fans is the almost complete lack of use for potions and items.
Unlike the simple maps most RPGs give us, Orphen lets you into a fully realized model of the level, much as the developers might use to see everything in a level editor or some such tool.

 Combat Elite: WWII Paratroopers Review on Xbox
So, if you’re a fan of top-down RPGs and World War II games, then read on and see if Combat Elite has what you are looking for.
The game introduces some new elements into the WWII action formula, but the repetitive nature of the missions hurts the score.
However, the fatal flaw that surrounds this game (and many top-down dungeon crawlers that follow the same lines of action) is the repetitive levels.

 UGO.com Games - Harbinger PC review of the Dreamcatcher sci-fi RPG
Gameplay: B. While the RPG bit is lacking and the action part is merely above average, Harbinger delivers for those who aren't looking revolutionary gaming.
But, as an action game with a very modest touch of RPG thrown in, Harbinger succeeds more than it fails.
If you're looking for an intense shooter that will deliver heart stopping visuals, blazing fast action or any new advances in gaming tech, you won't find it here.

 Kingdom Hearts Review for PS2 on GamePro.com
Not only is the game a full-fledged Square RPG, but it's also a pretty long one (a good 30 hours, if you try to find all the secrets).
Although not an easy-peasy kids' game at all, Kingdom Hearts' action progresses very smoothly, and most gamers should reach the end without much frustration.
The effort is worth it, too---the ending sequence not only blatantly sets up for Kingdom Hearts 2, but also is among the best finales seen in any Square title ever.

 Otogi: Myth of Demons - Reader Review - GameFAQs
Ostensibly an RPG, Otogi takes the form of a mission based action game.
It's an action RPG set in ancient Japan that features a fairy (otogi) named Raikou who, summoned by a mysterious woman, must rid the countryside of demons and free trapped spirits to restore the natural flow of ''ki'' (spirit energy) to the world.
This game sets up it's atmosphere flawlessly, whether it be the creepy voiced narration that sets up each mission, the incredible gloomy music, or the graphical splendor in which the world takes form.
