FYI - As of 11:55 CST IGN doesn't have a review for Final Fantasy Chrystal Chronicles: My Life As King. It will likely be posted in the next few hours.

Yeah I think you are right. I looked too fast. I could see it being in the 8s though.


A user review I saw rated it 8.9. Maybe the score came from there?


I think it did. I just found that too. I won't be surprised though if it did get around there.


Let us hope so.

Now what is this about DLC? Is this game going to be expanded later on?

Considering what my Wii memory looks like now, we really need an HDD or something soon.

Well I think the DLC is only for clothes and weapons now. If nintendo releases external memory(which I think they will at e3 then there might be new dungeons)

 


 Still sounds good to me. I honestly wasn't expecting anything like that at all with the Wii and am pleasantly surprised. I agree we will see some sort of external memory to allow me to still use channels and such without needing it on the Wii itself.

One more question if anyone could answer, almost sold on FF CC.

How is the length? 3 hours from Lost Winds is upsetting but good for $10, I am hoping for at least a bit more. Although it seems easy to assume it is longer than LW.

10-15 hrs without dlc it's said to be. I played for about 2 hrs so far.

 I usually take my time so it would more on the 15 hour side for me. That is great for $15.

So I guess I will give it a shot after finishing up Lost Winds sometime tomorrow.

Thanks for the help.

 I found this on wikipedia. SO there is a dugeon pack only 300 points. So that could extend it a few hours. 

The downloadable content was made available from April 1, 2008 and 8 items were initially offered:[3]

  • Lilty House, Selkie House, Yuke House (300 Points each): Houses that produce new adventurers of the other three races from the Crystal Chronicles world.
  • Three Races Pack (800 Points): All three new races in one slightly discounted set.
  • King's Change of Clothes (100 Points): A pirate outfit for the King.
  • Chime's Dress-Up (100 Points): A new outfit for the player's assistant Chime.
  • Sacred Shrine (200 Points): A shrine that lets warriors temporarily buff themselves up.
  • Gorgeous House (100 Points): A big house that many different people can live in.

Additional content has since been added and announced:

  • Castle Update (100 Points)
  • 11 Dungeons Pack (300 Points): A pack containing 11 new dungeons due out in late April 2008. Clearing these dungeons will reward the player with new buildings.
  • Tower of Eternity (300 Points): A special dungeon featuring a gigantic tower and a formidable monster. If the monster is destroyed, the player is rewarded with an invaluable treasure. This dungeon is due out in June 2008.
  • Library (200 Points): Gives the player the skill to memorize race-specific abilities and to train their warriors further. Also due in June 2008.

This game explains why GTA4 deserved a 10. I'm not saying this is a bad game as i, sure its great but if 2.5 hours of side scrolling gameplay gets you an 8.2 in 2008...GTA4 should be an 11.

 Games are determined by how good they are/$. This game is really good for a $10 dollar game. Now if gta IV was $10 dollars it would deserve a 20 out 10, but it's not. 


Ok, let's use that logic. You get 2.5 hours out of $10. That's $4 an hour. GTA has 100 hours of play, if you do all the side quests, not including the online play.

at $4 an hour, that's $400 worth of play for $60.

I would still only give it a 10 though ;)

No it's not an april fools joke. It's weird how they released it that day though. I think this is talking about the japanese version obviously. http://wii.ign.com/articles/863/863519p1.html

@allaboutthegames885: Those are all real. This was released in Japan awhile ago.



allaboutthegames885 on 13 May 2008

@DKII: I get it, I get it! *cools his head* Sorry about that, but since they haven't translated the DLC yet, it's all just irrelevant (at least until it's available to us Westerners)...

So every single non-GTA IV game should get a low score because it's not 100 hours?

Can you create a game like DMC4 and make it last 100 hours? Assassin's Creed? Prince of Persia? Every shooter in the market?
