I played through the first 3 chapters for each character then I just gave up. IMHO the whole 2 characters doing the same chapter from different angles got rather boring. I can see why people like the game, but for me it just didn't click.

I was all ready to buy this game..was just looking for a good deal. Thank god for free demos from the Playstation Store. I got 1/2 way through the demo and knew the game was not for me. Saved myself some money in my opinion.

I rented it, played it for about 2 hours and gave up. Not a fan of the gameplay AT ALL. The story seemed okay, but I'd rather watch a good animated movie than deal with Folklore. I'm also a fan of RPG's and action/RPG's, so it's not the style of game that turned me off.

A big NOT from me.

its definitely not a bad game, its just not all that great. definitely the best, or one of the better, adventure titles and definitely good for some fun. It repeats a lot but other than that doesn't have any major problems besides a general slowness.

This game is going to be in the Greatest Hits Collection in Japan, so I can only assume it will be here too. I think I'll pick it up, but not untill its cheap.

It's not for anyone , first the story is great! Mysterious murders leading to more murders in the village and you have to investigate it in the netherworld talking to the soul of the dead people.For me it is HOT since I loved the story and collecting folks and I beat up the game I had all the folks karma yet to be released and many quests to do.Even when u finish releasing karmas and doing quests u still have the dungeon trials.ITs awesome I bet that everbody that said "its a bad game" didn't play it for over 2 hours.Cuz the beggining has nothin to do with the rest of the game .

I didnt have many slow loading times when I installed it.

I really enjoy this game, but im one of those people who likes to collect everything! Im only planning to play it through with Ellen atm, becausei dont have time to properly play atm.

It has some nice addon packs from PSN which are ok, the free folk are worth getting as they are pretty useful. Ellen gets new costumes, and some just look fantastic! :P

The story is ok, the dialogue is weak, not liek your favorite book, but entertaining. Im at chapter 4 with Ellen, i dont play it everday so i forget bits so the mystry part is still there. I dont know if it is actually possible to solve it before you finish, but we shall see!

Folklore is not great, but an ok game.

I like the gameplay, but didn't like much the story and having to play both characters in the same chapters to have access to last chapter with either of the characters.

i enjoyed the feature of installing the game right to the hdd for faster load times. however i did not use this feature i thought it was a good idea. I enjoy games that sony makes because they seem somewhat unique compared to the 3rd party games. if you look at all the ps3 sony games ratings I think they have all got above an 8/10

Neither hot nor not...

It is an OK game, good buy for 30$ or less. Good use of sixaxis, nice story, but very very veryrepetitive and not deep at all.

The games story starts out really slow, however the more you play it the better and deeper it gets with a major plot twist near the end. Folklore in my honest opinion ranks high on my list of games with great stories. Sure the levels get a little repetitive but the story more than makes up for it.
