I LOVE IT!!!! i played this game when it was first released and i loved the story line, it reminded me of a movie, i got so caught up in this game back then, when new game systems started coming out, i lost the game. later years i played Suikoden 3, 4, 5 and Suikoden Tactics on PSX2, but something was missing from them, while looking thru AMAZOM.COM, i just happen to run across this game and the memories came rushing back to me and so i purchased a used copy, and it looks like new, plays fine, but no manuel, which is fine, i don`t need it anyway, all the packaging and case was with it. I know some out there don`t like this game, all i can say is GREAT GAME !!!!
