Famitsu.com has released new Pics for Magna Carta: Crimson Stigma which is due for released exclusively on the Xbox 360 in Japan at the end of 2009.
WorthPlaying writes, "Despite the name, Magna Carta is not about the famous English legal document of 1215 but a completely unrelated franchise from Korean software developer Softmax. Magna Carta: Tears of Blood was a fairly obscure RPG release for the PlayStation 2 in late 2005. Unusually enough, it was actually a sequel to a Korean-only PC RPG known as Magna Carta: The Phantom of Avalanche, although the two are unconnected except for some recurring names. Their selling point was actually artwork by Korean artist Hyung-Tae Kim, and their connection had more to do with them sharing Kim's art than anything else. MagnaCarta 2, now all one word, continues this tradition. It's completely unconnected to the other games in the series but serves as a vehicle to show off more of Kim's designs, and despite being billed as a sequel, it's its own game."
RPGSite takes a look at the second installment in the Magna Carta series to head west, Magna Carta II. What does the 360 exclusive offer over its predecessor?
I knew this is going to be crap. What's the highest rated 360 exclusive jrpg so far? LO the 79 meta game?
You know, I'm honestly tired of hearing this game being called crap. The original title was average and so is this one. RPG fans will probably buy it, everyone else - including console fanboys - wont. Get over it.
The review says the game is good, not great, and nothing new or groundbreaking. 70/100 doesn't equal sucks.
411mania talks about this week's game releases. Highlights include MagnaCarta II, Tales of VS., SingStar Queen, and Hearts of Iron III.
On Magna Carta II, 411mania writes: "Even though the title indicates that this is the second MagnaCarta game, it is actually the third in the series, the first being for the PC and the second for the PS2. Unfortunately, Atlus' release of the PS2 sequel a few years ago wasn't very well received - some were impressed with the visuals and a lot of people liked the story, but many found the combat system off and most agreed that the voicework was bad. Luckily, MagnaCarta II features a whole new cast of characters, a new storyline, and a different fighting system, so knowledge of the previous games are not necessary."
Aww it's just the import version of Magna Carta II I thought they would have brought it out here already :(.
