The only one i ever played was on PS1 may of been I or II i can't remember, it was a looong time ago but i do remember it was a really great game, it had heaps of characters and a great story line.

I loved 2 as it was the first one of the series I played. Love the main characters Hero and Jowy, although I could see that coming with Jowy lol! I have 1,2 and 3, but sadly I cant play 3 as its an import.

I had 4, but got rid cause it was just dire, I traded it in for Shadow Hearts 2 and dont regret it! It was dire, the lead character ran like a penguin and it was appaling!

I have played Tactics yet, but I did see 5 for £20 second hand in my local game shop, which I may purchase when Ive done my essays as a treat.

I love the Suikoden series. I own all the games, few artbooks and guides, and two soundtracks. I could probably play Suikoden II through with a blindfold, I've played it through so many times.

But it's strange that this series never gets much appreciation, even though it has great games, like II or V. Traditional RPGs, good stories, soundtracks are good, and interesting characters. To be honest, when FFXII came, I was still playing Suikoden V through with a different star choice. And when I played XII, I wanted to switch V back, XII was too different for me.

Are they really any good I saw Suikoden V in gamestation for £18 but I read that it was slow paced and was too big in the city/towns and became bland.

Have played 1,2 and 4. 4 was average. 1 and 2 were brilliant. My favourite characters were Neclord, Pesmerga and Pahn.

It is kinda slow for few first hours, but then it gets going. It isn't said to be probably the best Suikoden game for nothing.

I prefer the first and second game to the latest ones. I have 3, but its the NTSC version, so sadly I cant play it. 4 was a shambles, the lead character ran like a penguin, I felt nothing for the characters, the HP system was ridiculous and the boats! Oh dont start me on the boats!

God knows why it was set in a different time than the first two. Viktor, Flik, these guys were ace characters and should of been in Suikoden 4.
