Avalon Code, a new game for the Nintendo DS ($34.99), tells a tale about a young boy/girl who is chosen by the Book of Prophecy to create a new world. First you must try to save everyone while entering anything of value into the Book. This is the funny part, when you enter a person into the book they don't really know what happened and end up with a question mark over his/her head. By entering things into the Book, you can change their codes, which are made up of metals, elements, animals, values and ideas. By changing the codes you can make things stronger or weaker. Then for the weapons you wield against the foes, you can make them stronger or weaker or even into weapons like Excalibur or Thor's Hammer by following a metalize tablet. The metalize tablets are really recipes that tell you what you need to have in order to make the weapon, but there are also metalizes for accessories, armor and other items. Throughout the story you meet new people, the spirits of the elements, the various villains and many creatures. But it all ends when you face the ultimate evil, the former owner of the Book of Prophecy who was betrayed by those he populated his world with.
After the main story line, a few things open up to just explore the world and even check in on the world to come, by going to Sunny Hill, which is where you first obtain the Book, to check on what things will look like. Which means you can always change them by answering the questions of the new world differently.
I found the game very entertaining, since it was able to keep me wanting to play it. A few of the cut scenes seemed like they would go on forever, but I realized they were just getting further along the plot line and had a lot to get out of the way. For anyone who is an Rpg fan I strongly recommend this game.
