One of Working Design's last Saturn games is also one of the best. AO brings traditional RPG gameplay and
story into the ailing Saturn. AO is the story of a boy named Pike who was abandoned as an infant and then
raised by harpies. Not to reveal to much here, Pike sets out to save someone he deeply loves. Pike meets a
variety of friends along the way whom join his party. A total of 5 can be on the battlefield at once. All
these characters are great and interesting, but the bird man Amon is useless. Such character misuse is
forgivable however, cause this game is LONG. You'll think you've reached the end several times, but it
keeps going. On top of this, the game has a brilliant soundtrack of fully orchestrated music. Luckily,
you can listen to it on your Saturn's audio CD player. There's little wrong with this game. Everyone should
give it a try.
