    Sometimes, stereotypes exist for very good reasons. Korean role-playing games have a reputation as low-rent incarnations of their more polished Japanese counterparts, and Magna Carta 2 does nothing to combat that perception -- instead, it embraces it wholeheartedly.

    Sparsely scattered save points, un-skippable animations and cutscenes, and repeated locations and boss fights are anachronisms that will frustrate and alienate all but the most ardent traditionalist.

    There's just no thrill to the combat and no spark to the characters or story, which ultimately makes Magna Carta II a step backwards in an already static genre. [Dec 2009, p.103]

It was cheap to buy, but still a horrible value for $20. The story is okay, the voice acting is horrible, the dialogue doesn't make sense a lot of the time, and the music is alright, except when in cutscenes where it gets ultra cheesy, sounding like ditties from an old music box that your parents or grandparents own. The combat in the game is sometimes exciting and a lot of fun, and is likely the reason why my rating is as high as a four.… Full Review »

    This is THE BEST RPG on 360, hands down. When I say best rpg, I mean real RPG, not shooters where you can level up your armor, gun, andThis is THE BEST RPG on 360, hands down. When I say best rpg, I mean real RPG, not shooters where you can level up your armor, gun, and powers... or hack n slash, watered down action titles (action rpg's). Just because a game has a progression system doesn't make it an RPG, it just means more things open up and you go through game so it doesn't get boring as fast... Lost Odyssey comes close, but the combat of MC gives it the little notch it needs to be above LO. Seriously though, if you're a fan of old good story based, turn based fighting (this game is not necessarily turn based, really, but it mixes the genres of turn, strategy and action into an interesting hybrid and one of the best combat systems IMO) with fleshed out characters with backstories (not 1 dimensional chars like the latest FF series, or many actionrpg titles), multiple sidequests (many of which will give you a clue to a character's back story or personality), this is the game for you! I seriously wish this would become the new RPG franchise to keep producing, since FF has sucked since X, Shadow Hearts got killed by the third installment being too childish, and Star Ocean just pretty much fell apart on the 360 release. Giving it a 9, if the cutscenes were better, it would be a 10 in my book,.… Full Review »
