Both the GameBoy Advance titles and one of the PSP titles were only ever released in Japan and are about as difficult to find information on as Dream Carnival.

There appear to be some English patches, so it may be worth tracking down a copy for those willing to take a chance on this title.įollowing the PS2 era, Fullmetal saw new titles released on the GameBoy Advance, Nintendo DS and Playstation Portable. This title was also never released outside of Japan, and unlike The Girl Who Succeeds God, there doesn't seem to be too many reviews of this title online. The last Fullmetal game to ever be released on the PS2, Fullmetal Alchemist: Dream Carnival was developed by Bandai and was actually a fighting game. There are fan-made English patches and Japanese imports of the game available, though it'd be a shame if this Japan-exclusive Fullmetal game was one of the few worth playing. With what seems to be a pattern for anime games, The Girl Who Succeeds God may actually be the best SquareEnix Fullmetal game, with many reviews citing that the combat is much faster and more dynamic than the first two games. There was one more game in the SquareEnix Fullmetal Alchemist trilogy, Fullmetal Alchemist 3: The Girl Who Succeeds God. This one wasn't released outside of Japan, possibly due to poor international sales of the first two. Critics seem a little more favorable towards this one, though many still admit that the only people who will be able to get enjoyment out of the game will be Fullmetal fans. However, the game's sequel would actually improve on many of the flaws of Broken Angel. F ullmetal Alchemist 2: Curse of the Crimson Elixir spices up the gameplay formula from the original game while visually improving things.

Broken Angel may be a decent distraction for Fullmetal fans, but this game feels fairly skippable and in-line with more mediocre anime games. Reviews were fairly critical about the gameplay feeling, at best, generic. The plot is centered around an item known as the Philosopher's Catalyst, which is said to be equal in power to the series' staple artifact, the Philosopher's Stone. Broken Angel is based on the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist anime and takes place between episodes 17 and 18. The first game, Fullmetal Alchemist and the Broken Angel, saw mixed reviews from critics.


The PS2 Fullmetal games, consisting of three action-RPG titles by SquareEnix, are no exception. The Playstation 2 tends to have a huge amount of anime games that are generally considered substandard.
