Folklore is all in all a great game. It has a slow start, but quickly becomes really involved as you advance yourself through the story. The more folk you get, the more possibilities open up. The folk capturing is well thought out and imo this game has the best use of the sixaxis control scheme to date. I recommend this game for anyone who's into adventure gaming. If you enjoy light leveling based games with real-time action then definitely give this game a go. One of the bonuses in addition to leveling yourself is the fact that you get to improve your captured folk (releasing karma), which makes them stronger and more useful. I also like how you have to use one folk against another in order to beat and capture them. All boss battles require at least 3 specific folks in order to take them down. This game is often referred to as a RPG, but it's missing a few things that would give it that level of authenticity. It’s halfway there, but not quite. In any case, Folklore is a very well done game with extras like map building and rare folk collecting that will keep gamers playing it for a while after they've completed it.
