    If you're interested in Visual Novels in general, and especially if you're a Fate fan, this game is for you. I liked most of the characters and did not find them to be hateful. My favorites were Hakuno, Julius B. Harway, Issei Ryuudo, Taiga, Saber (Nero), and Rider (Francis Drake).

    I wish that Kotomine interacted with Julius since they're from the same cloth. It's a dream of mine to see

    I wish that Kotomine interacted with Julius since they're from the same cloth. It's a dream of mine to see them fight in an exceptional Holy Grail War. (I guess I will keep on dreaming) This thought has been entertaining me, and it might be the sole reason for me to start playing CCC either late this year or next year.

    In conclusion, this game is a treat for Fate fans and a new experience for those trying to get into VNs. Would I highly suggest it? No, unless you don't have anything better to play. It quenched my thirst for knowledge about Fate's world and the existence of the Holy Grail, which was my intention from the very beginning.

    If it didn't suffocate you with screens of sub-par writing [a clumsy nod to Fate's visual novel roots] it could almost look the Persona series in the eye. Almost. [July 2012, p.117]

    The plot is compelling, the visual style is gorgeous, but the combat can't hold up its end of the bargain and sustain excitement. [Issue#219, p.80]

    Fate/Extra is an intriguing game that features a brilliant story, solid characters and good art, but when it comes to the RPG aspects it's all a little uninspiring, and at times tedious and boring, with too much repetition in gameplay and design. If you like to play RPGs for the story and aren't worried about a basic battle system based around luck, then by all means check Fate/Extra out, you'll certainly get a well worth kick from its story, just don't expect to be blown away by its gameplay.
