Forums - Sony - Eurogamer - White Knight Chronicles II Review (5/10)

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-06-03-white-knight-chronicles-ii-review

"White Knight Chronicles II flounders. It's a hybrid that fails to find its own identity in terms of its structure, and its convoluted battle system is poorly explained and, once mastered, reveals itself to be broad but ultimately shallow. Those improvements from the first game are overwhelmed by a more general sense of ennui; what were once interesting innovations lack the polish and endurance to inspire over the course of a sequel.

A disappointment, then - for fans of a genre for whom disappointment is a familiar bedfellow."

Not surprised. The first one was horrible. Level-5 = most overrated JRPG developer.

The WKC franchise is the only bad one from Level 5. It happens to every developers.

I disagree. Rogue Galaxy was bad as well, imo. Bland characters, random events thrown together to make it seem like a story, ridiculous difficulty spikes and drops, etc.

THey do make awesome DS games. Given the series I am talking about, isn't really JRPG series. Dark Cloud series wasn't bad.

Yeah I agree, rogue Galaxy wasn't that good either.

I like you also see Level 5 as one of the most overrated companies, especially this gen, thank goodness for the Layton games which are great!

They are lucky WKC1/2 are PS3 exclusives otherwise neither game would get 1/4th of the attention they get.

Well I like you too ^.^

Lol, I always thought Layton was done by Capcom.

It's kind of a shame for though. WKC looked promising when they first showed it, and the battle system had a lot of potential. But eh, what can you do?
