''Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure'', released in Japan as is a tactical role-playing game for the PlayStation from Atlus USA and Nippon Ichi Software, the creators of ''Disgaea'', and is part of the ''Marl Kingdom'' series.〔Kurt Kalata. (Marl Kingdom at Hardcore Gaming 101 ). Retrieved 2007-22-4〕 It was released four times in Japan — once in 1998, then again as ''The Adventure of Puppet Princess + 1'' in 1999, and then again as ''The Adventure of Puppet Princess'' (PSone Books) in 2001,〔 and was released a fourth time for the Nintendo DS on June 6, 2008. The game was released in the United States, in 2000 and in 2008 and is the only game in the main series to be released outside Japan. A version of the game was also released on mobile phones. ''Rhapsody'', along with its sequels, are considered musical RPGs,〔 meaning in place of FMV cutscenes, there are musical numbers, complete with vocals. The game is also known for its "overwhelming cuteness"〔 and low level of difficulty.〔 Although this may make the game seem geared towards a younger audience, in Japan, the game and series in general has seen much success.〔 ==Gameplay== When starting a new game, the player can select a game difficulty (easy, normal, or hard), which affects how long it will take to finish the game. The player selects different places on the world map and encounters random encounter battles, such as in the ''Dragon Quest'' series. Unlike most role-playing video games, the player can save at any time, except during battle. An oft-mentioned point of appreciation is its relatively unique plot premise and flow. ''Rhapsody'' is a theatrical musical in regard to its presentation style, containing frequent cut scenes that are sung, rather than simply spoken and acted. Players are given the option of listening to the lyrics and voice-overs in Japanese, English, or muting them entirely.〔 Hidden throughout the game are high-quality illustrations of characters, which can be viewed any time through the item menu.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
