Forums - Sony - IGN gives Cross Edge a 3.5

Mirson on 30 May 2009

Cross Edge teaches us a very important lesson: there is a fine line between "depth" and "convolution." A game that could have been an entertaining compilation of iconic Japanese characters turned out to be a frustrating, awkward mess of menus, gameplay imbalances and annoying dialogue scenes. As appealing as this game may first appear to JRPG fans, I simply can't recommend it.

Presentation - 4.0
Graphics - 3.5
Sound - 6.0
Gameplay - 3.5
Lasting Appeal - 4.0

Overall - 3.5/10

And yet I'm still looking forward to picking it up tommorrow. Will be awesome if I can review an actually below average JRPG, worst I've gotten so far is right on the line of average.

I doubt fans of the games included in Cross Edge are going to care about this review at all.

They are still going to play it. Still, that is a really bad score.

Unsurprising. This game has always looked ass-terrible. And I'm not talking about the graphics.



Hates Nomura.

I look forward to your review Torillian. I don't really trust IGN though, like I stated many times. This is the same guy that gave Eternal Poison a 3.5, and I liked the game.

This worries me though: "Oh, one last note: there's constant slowdown in this game, too -- a game that only features bland environments and simple 2D sprites. And this is, sadly, after the nearly 4 GB optional install. Awesome."
