Gamertell has posted a very negative review of XSeed's Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga for Wii.
From the review:
"Boy, Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga sure sounds impressive, doesn't it? The title makes it sound like a game that shouldn't just be played but conquered. There should be figures and books and a movie. It just sounds epic.
Sadly, it's not.
This is a game that sucks the joy out of gaming and that's too bad because there probably is something great buried under the many layers of muck."
Digitally Downloaded writes: "Often the Wii was criticised for its perceived lack of quality third party games to play, but it's not the case at all. The Wii had some excellent third party games to play, it's just that some of them required a little digging to get to."
This series is destined to be quickly forgotten in the west (it actually has a strong niche in Japan), which is a pity, because there’s a lot to like about these games. They're not for everyone, but JRPG fans looking for something a little different would do well to try these out.
Neocrisis: Continuing a bumper year of releases, Rising Star Games has confirmed Eldar Saga's 2010 release date as 17th September. The game will fill a niche in the current games climate by appealing to Wii owners who are interested in the RPG format.
