[igotrhythm]

This game actually got panned pretty hard by Game Informer...it only managed a 7 on their 10-point scale. You'd think that that graphic/design team would knock it out of the park, but it's an infield single on a good day between flat characters, a death penalty, and if you thought Zubat in Mt. Moon were bad, how about pirate-Earthbound numbers of random encounters that charge the main character on sight? And let's not get into the Legend of Zelda gimmick of respawning all the way back at the entrance if you miss a block window while commanding your retard AI companions.

So yeah, the mercurial game experience is like any other, but just for comparison, the same guys gave BW2 a 7.5. Think about that very carefully before dropping the cash.
