Dual Hearts PS2
Game Information
Long, long ago, the real world and dream world were one and the same. But because of the dark thoughts in people's minds, the Nightmare was born and threatened to end the world. A brave sage appeared and, by using the Holy Instruments and the Dream Stone, sealed the Nightmare away into the holy land. Peace was restored but the world is now separated into the real world and dream world. Years later, people forgot what has happened, and only recalled the events as a legend. Many have also heard about the Dream Stone sealed within the Temple of Dreams. Enter our hero, Rumble, a Ruinseeker (a high ranked treasure hunter) who wish to find the Dream Stone. At the same time, in the Dreamworld, a Baku (a weird looking animal that lives in the Dreamworld) who Rumble later names Tumble accidentally drops the box which holds 7 keys to the seal of the Temple. The keys went and hid in different people's dreams. To retrieve them, one must enter the dream and seek out the keys. Tumble can enter the dreams but there are many monsters within dreams and puzzles that he may need help with. Rumble realize he must get the keys in order to find the Dream Stone. Seeing that the two can help meet each other's goals, Rumble and Tumble decides to work together. In Dual Hearts, Rumble and Tumble will travel around Sonno Island, meeting the people there and seek out those whose dreams holds one of the seven keys. Each dream is different as each person is different, which means that the enemies and puzzles Rumble will encounter will be different in each dream he visits. Within the dreamworld, everything is filled with gold and gems - even the boss is a giant money bag. Within the dreams, Rumble will be able to use the Holy Instruments (in the form of a spear and sword) to fight enemies there. Rumble can use both weapons at the same time enabling him to do a variety of combo attacks. Tumble will help Rumble by carrying him on his back, enabling him to reach higher planes. He can also perform different attacks like the Breath Attack. In order to advance, there are a variety of puzzles for our heroes to solve. For example, in one puzzle, you will be presented with movable blocks, several switches and a closed door. You must figure out which switch will open the door and move the block on the switch. If you run into any problems, you can always talk to Tumble or the Dream Sheep for hints and help.

Additional Information
When inside a person's dream however, players will be challenged to solve puzzles, while fighting off enemies and navigating the many platform-style obstacles that litter their path. Rumble is capable of wielding two weapons at any one time -- one in each hand. And depending on the type of weapon currently equipped, he'll be able to execute a varied selection of combination and charged attacks. Weapons will also level-up over time, allowing players to dole out greater damage later in the game. During battle, players can lock-on to an enemy in much the same vain as the The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Tumble on the other hand, offers more passive resistance, refilling Rumble's health and proving a noble, if somewhat unconventional steed that can dash or fly around the many environments. He is capable of performing a rudimentary butt-stomp attack, however. Certain abilities expend Esamons -- little floating bug-like creatures -- when used. Additional Esamons can be acquired by killing enemies, and even kept in reserve in Tumble's Tummy Meter.
An abundance of trinkets can be obtained when in the dream state, and include Dream Energy, Dream Rings and Gold Esamons. The Dream Energy grants access to different areas of the Temple of Dreams, while Gold Esamons can be traded for useful equipment. But the main objective is to acquire the key hidden within, guarded by a boss character. Collecting all of the items within each of the resident's dreams (the game keeps track of the percentage of goodies already found) will reward players with a surprise.
