Presentation
The visuals are well done, but the spotty motion and camera controls, stale story, and sometimes painful voice work really brings down the package. |
| 8.0 |
Graphics
Some decent effects are used, and the game is full of unique enemies, great animations, and some pretty epic moments. Pop-in abounds. |
| 6.0 |
Sound
There are a few keepers in the game's soundtrack, but the voice work needs serious help, and some of the battle music feels truly out of place. |
| 6.0 |
Gameplay
The battle system was on the right track, but it feels as though more time was spent developing mini-games than polishing the core mechanic. |
| 6.0 |
Lasting Appeal
There's a good 25 hours of an adventure to explore, but you'll have to ignore a lot of shortcomings to enjoy it. |

What? Don't call this 'Crystal Chronicles 2', for it doesn't deserve it. It's more like a spin-off of the spin-off series. It's only passable even at that. :(
(Yes, I do have it and have played it a lot. Square Enix tried to do something different and they'll be burned for it. I just hope they don't blame Wii.)
