Dont believe in what Gamespot says in this game!!!
Gameplay - Although repetative in some way, it isnt boring at at all. U jsut feel like u wanna try out ur new summoned units, upgrade them to their highest stats and then waste them on ur enemies. It is very addicitve in some ways and the controls are very good too. I can tell you, that there are hardly any frustration moments in the game. Just get on and play. A very solid action game.
Graphics - 5??? WTF? Hoestly that is jsut taing the p*ss. Back then in its time, the graphics surpasses most of the games. The graphics were jsut awesome. Nice flashly moves and ncie CGs. I honesly cant say nething bad about the graphics. And yet Gamespot gives it 5?
Sound - Nice soundtrack, very upbeat but nothing over the moon. It isnt the typical Nobuo Uematsu soundtracks, so dont expect much. But surprisingly fits very well into the game.
Value - faily short game. even though i upgraded my Thanatos (the most powerful summoned beast) to full. Used it to defeat the last boss. Just around 6 /7 hours or so. Remember, i took a fair bit of time upgrading my units. I u kinda rush it, its only takes about 4 hrs.
But overall, the game does deserve a score somewhere in the region of 8. I honeslty do think so. The score given by Gamespot is just too harsh on Capcom and not true at all!
