Ok so I know some of you may still be sat on the sidelines feeling like you dare not take the risk to buy WKC right, well for a start let me just point out how horribly wrong the reviewer's are that gave this game low scores.

This reveiew may contain spoilers, so please so not read if you don't wan't spoilers

The Storyline

Okay so first of all yes the story is average, you play as Leonard a young man who acidently comes across the white knight arc when he is in the process of trying to rescue the Princess Cisna, unfornately, although you are able to save her life, she is kidnapped and then you venture on a quest to save her.

Now as part of the story, you also are in the process of discovering all about the white knight arc, and why Leonard has been chosen worthy to weild it's power, on the way to saving Cisna, you get to visit many beatiful locations, one of my favourite so far is the free city of greede, which is basically a massive city on the back of a monster (like in discworld lol).

From what I have played do far the story is not as bad as they say, whilst I know it end's on a cliffhanger, I just view it as building up to the next part of WKC. Parts of WKC even remind of things from FF, and also it has some really nice CGI scenes that make you gasp.

The Gameplay

Second, the battle system is nothig short of pure excellence, yes you can only control one character (but you can choose which one you control), but the way they have setup the system so you can have many abilities available to you by slot's is excellent, the battle is quite fast paced, and as long as you setup the other characters tactics correctly, you really will not struggle with the single player mode.

Some of the magic spells and combo's are very pretty and impressive, not to mention transforming into the white knight is quite impressive, the white knight also seems to gain more and more abilities as you progress in the game, suceeding to keep this game very fresh, and very addictive.

The Sound

To be honest the sound is above average, and whilst most of the music is very nice, it does have problems when it comes to some characters talking you may notice some synchronising problems, allthough this really did not put me off and I am still enjoying the game despite that fact.

The Presentation

The presentation is way above average, whilst it does not demonstrate some of the best graphics ever, you will still be wowed by some events that happen in WKC, like the white knight transformation, the spells, and some of the locations are really inspired, it is everything you basically expect to see in a Fantasy adventure, and I love it!!

Value

Well so far the WKC feels huge, the areas you explore are wide open, and you can easily feel overwhelmed by it's size, it has plenty of towns and interaction, whilst the single player quest feels really easy, when you finally go online there is so much more to do and it is so much harder, there are 50 quests (i think), and you can play with up to four people online.

The online play is really fun, and I had a great laugh with my friends the other night, I can easily see GeoNet becoming my main addiction at this rate, when you complete a quest you also obtain items which you can use in the single player mode as well, so this game can be very rewarding.

Final Score's

Story: 7/10

Gameplay: 10/10

Sound: 8/10

Presentation: 8/10

Value: 9/10

Overall : 42/50 = 8.4/10

------------------------------------------

right now back to my WKC, hope you like my review

how long have you played it? I can't really take any review seriously if they haven't played through the entire game yet.

oh I am 21hrs into the game, I'd say I have done over 60% of the game already, so it should not take me much longer to complete it, in which case if i change my mind on anything, i will update this review, to be honest if it really was bad, you would think I would have noticed it by now

I give your review a 5/10.

I find the scores odd since you don't really make clear of the negatives and positives of the game.

I find your standards questionable. You say sound is above average yet give it an 8/10. That's a pretty good score. Reminds me of the guy that said inFamous reviews were mixed yet it hold an 85 on meta after over 60 reviews.

Your explanations lack depth.

well, games can completely fall apart at the end, have you ever played Knights of the old republic 2?

On the battle system....I believe you failed to mention that you can change control to a different character if you see it fit...i.e. if you're waiting for a heal and want to make sure that that character is casting the correct one, can change characters to your healer, cast the heal, and change back to your primary character or another...You aren't bound to one character throughout the whole game.

Sounds like you guys are expecting a professional review or something.

Either way, thanks to jneul for giving your opinion of the game. It's always good to see people enjoying their purchases.

I marked down the sound for the synchronisation issue, fair enough if you don't think my review is very good, sigh. As far as my standards go well Uncharted 2 is my favourite game, until GOW III comes out, so I don't think there is anything wrong with my standards at all, maybe you just expect pretty graphics and a near perfect storyline like FF, well it's not as good as FF, which is why I marked it down, however it is not abysmal either.

as for vambierk. yes you are right i did miss that out, you are right, thanks for the heads up.

This was not meant to be a professional review, it is my first attempt at a review guys, what was you expecting??

I will update the review later on, beginning to wish I never bothered now...

The only thing I agree with is the value being a 9.

I'd give the story a 6/10; The story was only interesting during the last hours of the game... then the game leaves you on a cliffhanger. I know it's a trilogy, but It could have been handled much better.
gameplay a 7/10; It's a good blueprint for future WKC games but there are major flaws and annoyances in battle and the lvl up mechanism (while is seems to have alot of depth at first) could be more intricate, especially when your level get high.
Sound a 7/10; dubbing sucks, music is decent and sound effects are average.
presentation a 5/10; for having crap character designs and below average technical graphics. Also, saving the game takes too long. The knights were cool though...

This is coming from some1 that beat the game twice and spent alot of time online. The online in WKC saves this game from being total trash.

There have been worse character designs lol, have you ever played on Encharted Arms, that had horrible character designs, but it still managed to get some better reviews than WKC.

My point is not everyone thinks this is a really bad game, and quite honestly I think a lot of people have been overly harsh with this game.
