Also known as: Boukyaku No Senritsu · Boukyaku no Senritsu: The Melody of Oblivion (JP)

Publisher: Bandai · Developer: Alpha Unit · Genre: Adventure

Game Boy Advance adaptation of the Japanese animation series, Boukyaku no Senritsu (known as The Melody of Oblivion stateside). Taking the form of a multi-scenario action-adventure game, players face off against monsters in overhead action scenes. The adventure part features different storylines depending on the character you select from the start, and if you're fan enough to clear the stories for all characters, you'll be rewarded with an all-new scenario. In the action sequences, you make use of arrows, hand-to-hand combat and special moves as you defeat monsters and lay destruction to buildings. Bosses await at the end of each stage. The game features three selectable characters: Bokka, Toone and Koko. Based on the character you choose, the available scenarios of play will change. Actual animated movies take up a good chunk of the 64 meg cartridge.
