Originally released in early 2004 for the Japanese PC, Fate Stay Night is an interactive adult visual novel which tells a tale by way of graphics, dialogue, and text. The player watches the story unfold and interacts occasionally by selecting choices which affect the outcome and eventual conclusion. The PS2 conversion of the game is a family-safe update which removes the nudity from the original but adds voice acting to accompany the dialogue in the adventure.
Shirou Emiya is a wannabe sorcerer who has no knack for the ways of magic. Orphaned at a young age and adopted by a sorcerer named Kiritsugu Emiya, Shirou is nonetheless hopeless as mage. One day after cleaning his school's dojo, he witnesses a battle between two warriors named Archer and Lancer in the courtyard. Unbeknownst to Shirou at the time, his home city of Fuyuki plays host to a hidden war where sorcerers and their servants bout it out for ownership of the Holy Grail. Whomever holds the Grail is granted the power of wishes. The war takes place every six decades and has raged periodically for the past two centuries. As the story begins, a new war kicks off and Shirou finds himself embroiled in its carnage with a servant by his side named Saber. «more»
