Siliconera Writes:Magnacarta 2's battle system is nothing like Manga Carta: Tears of Blood. To recap, players control three characters and fight monsters like this flame spouting creature in real time.
Each swing and spell increases a character's stamina meter. Take Crocell, the fire throwing mage, as an example. When his stamina meter fills up he needs to take a break, but you can immediately switch to another character like Juto with the D-pad.
While Crocell is resting Juto gets a chain combo bonus. If you can raise Juto's stamina meter and dish out a special attack before he runs out of juice you complete a "chain break", which instantly resets both character's stamina meters.
The chain break system is designed so you can relentlessly attack bosses down without resting, if you line up your attacks correctly.

How are you spending yours - engaging in religious ceremonies? Decapitating make-believe rabbits? Dying of chocolate? Visiting your drunken excesses on relatives? Or playing videogames?"
I remember playing the Too Human demo on the 360 and I thought it was horrendous. I came across the game last summer for $3.00 and couldn't stop playing it.
Lots of mediocre titles in that list save Amalur and Overlord . There are better underrated titles out there , some more ignored than that list
Russ reports on all the RPG sales around the internet and retail stores this week.
We take a look at Magna Carta 2 and see if this Korean RPG is more exciting than the revolutionary bill its named after.
Damn this look awesome another jrpg for the 360.
You really have to see this game in motion to understand how pretty it is.
Definite buy for me (not on merits of it's looks alone, it appears to be a really solid JRPG if you look at all the media).
This looks like a pretty solid purchase for me, being that I just got my 360 yesterday can't wait to try this one out as well as get my hands on Lost Odyssey when I get the chance.
Looks good. The only thing I don't like is when the game zooms when someone executes a special move.
Does anybody know if we need to play the first one to understand the story for this one? I haven't finished Magna Carta yet because it sucks so much :(
