Japan’s Famitsu magazine has dissected Level-5’s White Knight Chronicles in its latest issue, awarding the early-awaited RPG an underwhelming 29/40.
According to the publication, the game suffers from multiple chat issues (we sense a patch on the horizon), before claiming the title is essentially “the same” as every other Level-5 RPG out there, in the sense it follows tired and tested “sadness befalls the land” premise.
Despite this, the review is unlikely to deter frothing Japanese punters from plonking down the cash for the hotly anticipated PlayStation 3 exclusive this Christmas – still, let’s at least hope Level-5 polish things up before an inevitable western release.
