= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Battle Hunter (Video Game)

Even when outdated, it's one of the best. Especially back then? I remember around perhaps 2003-2005, we saw this game at family dollar or genovees or something like that. Some store which had a sale. Buy 1 get 1 free i believe and the games were like maybe $10 each? I could be lieing cause i don't remember much. It could have been a dream? Point is, the game is extremely addicting.

An amazing childhood game and i'd still play it. I wish it was on the PSN. I'd start playing my PSP again if it was on there. If you're the only one who aren't allowed to have friends over, have friends who won't play games that have (somewhat) outdated graphics, or don't have siblings who'd play, don't bother with it. Single player isn't that fun and there were some unlockable characters and stuff but multiplayer is the only fun thing!

Multiplayer was amazing! Flawless. Requires only 1 controller. I honestly love the game. I don't see why there wasn't a sequel or remake. Probably the only game i'll love from agetec. I still sometimes feel sorrow (though i still have the PS1 Disc) when i look at just the playstation games cover and listen to Battle Hunters Title Theme music. It brings back great memories... I really feel like crying now :/ in a good way.

Nonetheless, if you have a PS1 and you're looking for the game, go for it and buy it. An alternate version is downloading a PS1 Emulator and the ROM and playing it on your PC for free which isn't as fun (especially with having friends crowd around your screen and sharing your keyboard)...

I logged on this account and bothered to write a review because of this game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent Party Game, November 28, 2003

All the people that gave it one star, first realise that the "Role-Playing Game" on the top is a misnomer. An RPG demands that you play a role (duh), which demands that a storyline exists. This game does not have a bad storyline-it completely lacks one. Anyways, while this game can become dull when playing solo, with a multitap and three friends, it becomes hilarious. Battle Hunter, at the very least, is unique.

Battle Hunter is a Role Playing Game with turn based action. The game is in the near future when more than half of the world has been destroyed. Scientists can bring back the destroyed areas if they can get their hands on certain items. You take on a hunter that searches for the needed items in dangerous doungeons. Thiis sounds so simple, but it isn't. There are also other hunters, some with you, some against you. But in the end, the only thing that you can rely on is that you can't rely on anyone. This is a fun game. It doesn't take to long to beat, but still keeps you interested. Cheap price! Have fun!
