No one has yet to actually comment on what was IN the review, but only the score, eh?
The actual review, for what it's worth, doesn't sound as bad as you'd think, in my opinion.
Goldstien laments that you *gasp* have to micromanage your characters! OMG! Such a major design issue!
It just doesn't seem like the score should be that low for what he's arguing....Kind of like a good bit of the Tales reviews. This generation has to be the generation of hating JRPGs...Every good RPG, even some WRPGs (The Witcher) have received bad scores, but the few cream of the crop games are WELL above, and separate everyone and everything....Does not compute!
Oh, and a scorecard for IGN reviews and RPGs:
| Mass Effect | 9.4 | Eric Brudvig |
| Oblivion | 9.3 | Charles Onyett |
| Folklore | 9.0 | Ryan Clements |

| Tales of Vesperia | 8.2 | Ryan Geddes |
| Lost Odyssey | 8.2 | Hillary Goldstien |
| Enchanted Arms | 7.6 | Eric Brudvig |
| Infinite Undiscovery | 7.1 | Hillary Goldstien |
| Two Worlds | 6.8 | Travis Fahs |
| Culdcept Saga | 6.5 | Nate Ahearn |
|

5.8 | Nate Ahearn |
| Spectral Force 3 | 4.9 | Eric Brudvig |
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
