I'm on chapter 20 at the moment and I'm wondering if the game gets any harder. The reason that I ask is that I maxed out Kent and Marcus at the arena and they've been smashing through everything without a problem. Do the enemies get significantly harder?

hm... good tactic! i didn't even think of that. i'm having difficulty beating chapter 22(?) w/out losing someone... it has an arena but, it's not an easy one.

Yes, they do get *harder*. By harder, I mean bosses with much higher HPs, and higher one hit kill strokes. I suggest leveling out everyone else, and using the crests/rings/whips/seals as you get them. I'm at the last chapter now, and I have a whole bunch of those things I can't use because I left out my other characters, and just concentrated on the *stronger* ones. The last chapter looks like a doozy so far. I don't know how I can say this without giving out too much, but the last few chapters might seem like a shock to some - I know I was shocked by the turn of events.

BTW, are all your characters still alive? I have most of my characters, but I missed out on Raven - I ended up killing him. I don't know what happened to Lucius either - I can't remember if he ever came back, or I just lost him along the way. I have a couple more questions, but I don't want to ruin it for you guys, so I'll just save it for later.

If you have any more questions, let me know and I'll try to answer it for you. I'm hooked on this game!

Has anyone that is playing the game use the items on the Mario Kart bonus disc? I was wondering how much of a help they are.
