A Blurred Line Review
Game Created By: Lysander86
Graphics 12/20
The graphics in this game were nothing speacial, just your basic RTP Future Chipsets, along with some ripped chipsets. The ripped chipsets were VERY pixelated, and I suggest that Lys possibly change the resolution a bit? Most of the enemy graphics were ripped, but the mix of the 2d enemies and the 3d rendered enemies didnt really mix very well. I suggest that Lys stick with one or the other. But overall, the grapics were slightly above average, since he used the chipsets VERY well.

Story 20/20
This game has the best story I have played ever in an RM2k game. It mostly revolves around Talan escaping from the Agency, until a certain point when you reach paradise. The game then springs off to a "job type" game like the very beginning. It incorporates a love story of sorts, and I hope Lys can continue it and really be able to develop the people involved in the love story. There are also various side quest(I only did the one in Lashe City) in which the one I played dramatically affected the storyline. Overall, this game combines many good elements of plot, but also involves good characterization, and also, does a great job of making side quests affect the story so greatly. Good Job Lys.

Gameplay 18/20
The gameplay systems were really good. It had a custom menu, explaining all the different speacial skills, and also showing the discovered side-quests. The skill the Talan uses in battle, was done very well, and I commend him on doing such a great job with it. The gang member's skills were a great addition in themselves, but the character didnt stay long enough to really utilize how the gaining of their skills. There was I think 2 additional skills to get. All of the other skills, were just your basic skills. Overall, Lys did a great job with these gameplay systems! There were also a lot of decent minigames(which I sucked at) that took a lot skill to do any good at(espeacially the car one oh man did I suck at that one). The theatre one that I did was interesting also, but I failed to do any good at that either  . Overall, this game has some good potential for battle system abilities and also some decent minigames.

Music/Sounds 15/20
The music in this game was pretty average, but it wasnt bad that it made the game any worse. It was utilized well, there wasnt any badly placed songs or anything that made it sound wierd. The sound in this game was pretty good, the sound effects were used in all the right places and everything. They werent anything spectacular, but they were good enough to fit their uses.

Bugs 8/10
There was one bug that detracted from the score. I had to fix it to go on so it detracted to the score as much as it did. Overall, the bugs werent bad except for the one part.

Balance 10/10
Overall, this game was very smoothly ran. There were no awkward movements or anything, and there arent really obvious graphics glitches. There werent any text cut-offs or anything. Great job on this Lys!

Overall 83/100 83%
Yeah, the score may not be perfect, but I still consider this game to be the best game out there for RM2k. My favorite part of a game is the story, and this game delivered. With its slightly above average graphics
and average music, this game turned out good in my eyes no matter what. Overall, I suggest everybody should play this great game!
