RPGFan has the first english review of the import RPG Infinite Space on the Nintendo DS:
"Why can't the Wii be like its cool little brother, the Nintendo DS? It seems like every month that adorable little console gets an awesome new game while my Wii Fit balance board gathers dust. Worsening this disparity is Sega, which on June 11th released Infinite Space, an epic sci-fi RPG that puts to shame almost anything you'll find on PS3 or Xbox 360. Something of a flawed masterpiece, Infinite Space is a huge and ambitious game for a handheld though not without its blemishes. It's like Scarlett Johansson in an ugly dress: sure, there's something to criticize, but you'd be an idiot to pass up on it."
Space opera fans deserve a chance to experience the vastness of Infinite Space, and Sega needs to make up for its mistake.
I still go back to Infinite Space from time to time. Probably the most underrated game I ever played.
EDGE took a trip down memory lane with some of the staff at Platinum Games in its latest issue.
One of the games discussed was Infinite Space, the studio’s first and only handheld game.
I claim that it should have been a PSP if not a PS3 title.
Wonder if they can port it.
In a storyline-driven genre like role playing, a good setting can end up being a game's most important element.
yeah, having a game about pneumonia but taking place in South America would really get me immersed. :/
This piece mostly deals with RPGs, but has there been any recent setting as good as Rapture?
I honestly can't think of many that were *that* well realized/interesting.
Yep. Half the reason I game is to go to interesting places and do interesting things. Which usually means "kill a lotta things," but still.
