this is a really good review. You let the game speak for itself by presenting its situation and characters and just telling us what we need to know in terms of gameplay. I got really interested in the title until I learned it was PC only. That made me somewhat relieved when I found out it ends up sucking, though.

But shit! What a cool world! Reminds me of Pangea from THE MAXX.

Thanks for the catches. I'm all fixed up.

Atlus have actually just got involved with the game, and it's going to show up on XBLA. So, maybe, a PSN version will follow -- who knows! It's a game I'm glad I played, even if it tries its level best to ruin istelf at the end.

the game limps rather than strides towards the finale The end game disappoints,

What's this?!
You exist because we allow it. And you will end because we demand it.

Dunno if it would have suited. The review, nearly finished, is about 200 words long.

haha. This game sounds awesome in a really strange and weird way. Shame it gets kind of clunky towards the end. Was that picture there when you first wrote this? haha. I don't remember it being there, but maybe I just wasn't paying attention somehow.

Anyway, I liked how the review started off. It was really strong until the last 2 or three paragraphs where it started feeling about as clunky as you described the game. But that's just first impression. Still good, though. Ashamedly, I was somewhat skeptical that you would've covered it well enough in the length you allotted it, but you did a good job there. I mean, I know reviews can still be short and yet effective, as the point of the current contest shows, but still. The perception I get with that really depends on the game being covered. Still, I feel kind of bad about doubting, especially since it's you. Sorry about that. haha.

Anyway, good to know the huge amount of work you've been doing lately hasn't affected the quality of the writing any.

I have edited all your suggestions. Through editing.

Thanks, anyway. I also felt it started to drag near the end, but I had nothing else in mind to write and a deadline tiking away, so I rushed it a little. I don;t think it's the worst thing I'll ever write, so I can't grumble too much, I guess.
