Ouch, that's a harsh review, especially since the game really looked good and got over 32 points from famitsu, what gives?
| 6.5 | Presentation The menus and overworld map look great, but the original Japanese suffers greatly in its translation to English, making most of the story and dialogue a big mess. |
| 7.0 | Graphics Again, the menus and maps are presented really well, but the in-game graphics are nothing we didn't see on the GameCube. Some of the character animations are good. |
| 5.5 | Sound The original Japanese voice track probably would have been easier to listen to, as the English translation hardly makes sense, anyway. At best, the music is forgettable -- at worst, it's aggravating. |
| 6.5 | Gameplay The real-time battles can be fun, but everything else from the linear quests to the monster hunting feels dated. Haven't we played this game, oh, 100 times before? |
| 7.0 | Lasting Appeal Dawn of the New World is a very long adventure, and there are some extras waiting for you once you've completed it. |
| 6.7 |
OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average) |
Huh. Who would've thought that beggining anew in my real life would coincide with starting anew on vgchartz?
Any day now, the dollar will be worth less than 2 zloty......any day now.....and my life savings will be in total jepordy ;(.
