That Fullmetal game, I forget what it's called.

I rented Fullmetal Alchemist: (something about an angel) last night. The game came out forever ago, but I never got around to trying it bafore last night.

It reminded me a lot of Dirge of Cerberus, for the sole reason that the game itself, while not very good, is fun for what it is: a action-romp w/ an awesome lead character.

At first I thought the transmutation system was pretty cool, then it got repetitive, then I figured out you could transmute things more than once to make them better, then it got cool again.

The boss' are way easy. The only one I had trouble with so far was that scorpion/crab thing you had to flip over. I couldn't figure out how to flip him over, and after a while I just got mad and started to wail on his face (which, ironically, was how you flip him over.)

Anybody else try this game? I heard there was another one out/being made, is that true? If so, is it similar to this one, or a different playstyle altogether?

(Also, I know it's not an RPG, but I didn't know what section this would go in.)
 
I have this and it's decently fun, for the first few playthroughs anyway.

There's a second out on this side of the ocean, and at least one more released in Japan. The other one in NA is titled like "and the Crimson Elixir" or something. And it's the second game chronologically to be released.
 
I believe there's also a DS game as well. But Im not sure if it came over to the US or not. I remember reading about it though. FMA's a great anime, but I haven't actually played any of the games. I did watch one of my former roomates play the first one though, but that was like a year or so ago.

I hope by that comment you didn't mean that DoC wasn't very good either. Because if you did we might have to kick you off the internet, us VII "fanboys" will anyway.

I think I was being generous when I said: "while not very good, is fun for what it is: a action-romp w/ an awesome lead character."

Don't get me wrong, I liked DoC, but you can't sit there and say the game was awesome, when it was very much not.
