DualShockers White Knight Chronicles Review

DualShockers writes,

"With 2010 being the year of the RPG, Level 5 brings us their latest game, White Knight Chronicles. WKC was released in Japan in December 2008 and it spent a good amount of time undergoing the localization process. The game features all of the online patches that were released in Japan as well as in-game voice chat, per request of the Western audience. WKC has a lot to prove in order to stand among the ranks of other RPGs being released in the coming months. The real question is if WKC will be becoming part of your collection and why, so let's jump into this headfirst."

I know everyone thinks im sticking up for this game but seriously this rpg is the first one this gen that gave me back that feeling rpgs used to give me back in the days. 5/5 IMHO

Hitman07695202d ago

Thank you for your opinion Blaster Master

taz80805201d ago

I saw a preview of this game and it looked great, reminded me of FF7 meets Valkyria Chronicles. Very steampunk feel too. Good review.

Hitman07695202d ago

I think that this RPG might of bit off more then it could chew design-wise. Either that or they just chose a battle system that only appeals to classic RPG addicts. I'm not saying it's terrible, I'm just saying in this day and age I expected more. Thank you for the excellent review Evan.

Hitman07695202d ago

Good review Evan. I had started thinking this game might be too good to be true as it approached release. Looks decent enough for hardcore RPG fans to see the innovations, however a bit bland and simplistic of attack system and character design?

dragonopt15201d ago

I bought this game and was going to sell it to get Star Ocean, I decided to give it a chance and play it for a week and I can say I'm happy I kept it. Is it as good as Dragon Age, no it's not. Once you give it a chance it gets a lot better though,I'm enjoying leveling my chr and playing online. Again it's not a great game but I think it's a good game overall with lots to do.

I hope this one was better then the last one. It wasn't that bad of a game, but i kind of had high hopes

Misterhbk4622d ago

I picked it up and I'm loving it so far. Haven't gone online yet though. Then again, I was a fa of the first despite what reviewers and others said so my opinion may not be the best to judge off of for you, since you didn't like the first.

gameguidedog4622d ago

It's pretty damn cool actually, plus it comes with most of the first one anyway. :)

JerryMatters4622d ago

This game is def with the sickness!! I was totally waiting for this to come out for way too long! It rocks!!!

scepter4621d ago

SpaceSquirrel4621d ago

White Knight Chronicles 2 Developer Interview (COIN-OP TV)

COIN-OP TV interview with Miki Takahashi one of the Producers on White Knight Chronicles II. This interview explores the differences between the original game and the sequel and also explains what upgrades went into the localization of the license.

MaideninBlack4636d ago

Most anticipated game of the year for me!

DA_SHREDDER4636d ago (Edited 4636d ago )

If playing WKC1 on this disc feels like a totally different then the laster iteration then I'm really intrigued. Not that WKC1 was bad, it just felt rushed and in need of alot of filling in the blanks. I'm a bit skeptical, but I hope this game ends up being good cause I really want Level 5 to prove how talented they really are.

btw, the way this lady talks is so darn cute, I just wanna hug the crap out of her.

dragonyght4636d ago

its was pretty good it just felt like a ps2 game they port to ps3 and up the graphic and nothing else i mean it felt like a very low budget game it could had been different story if sony put AAA budget behind it they good a pretty good thing going the specially the online

JAMurida4636d ago

IMO, Level 5 has already proved how talented they are with WKC 1. I mean yes the game has it's glitches/flaws and what not, but thats to be expected in a new IP/game. And what's better is pretty much everything that was wrong with the first is corrected in the second game, along with adding improvements to make it better, (like being able to make your own knight and customize it to your liking). THAT is what you call a "sequel". Fix problems with the first game and add new features that compliment the existing ones and make the game better.

And yes, the lady was pretty cute, lol.

JAMurida4636d ago

@MaideninBlack

For once on this site, I COMPLETELY agree with someone.

mediastudies4636d ago

Robert you're covering JRPGs now? Have you been talking to TechGaming's Deagle or what?

BTW- Thanks for the interview. May have to pick this one up.

pennyman4636d ago

ahh COIN-OP TV covers a variety of console games (and some pc) I did get most of these questions from Deagle of Tech Gaming tho :)

tiffac0084636d ago (Edited 4636d ago )

I'm definitely getting this game. WKC by no means perfect but I still enjoyed it nonetheless.

TBM4636d ago

i enjoyed the first one a lot even though it wasnt perfect. i still have my save file, but i think imma start over since part 2 battle system will be in part 1. this is awesome news to me.

pennyman4636d ago

thx for the comments/checking out the video -- feel free to share on your blogs/twitter

these is great to hear since the sequel is coming soon to america and europe ( and its already out in japan)

WildArmed4780d ago

Aye, Looking forward to the sequel.
Probably will replay WKC1 w/ the new combat system and stuff to get a better feel of the system.

Was a great game; that is if you chose to invest time into the MP.

The SP campaign was pretty weak, but like I've said again and again (I sound like a broken record) the MP was the saving grace for this awesome game.

Easily one of my best investments in games for the PS3

chidori6664781d ago

average game IMO.

Story is simplistic..and same old rescue the princess..

the game It could be better. However, it's still a "ok" game.

kevnb4780d ago

but the gameplay was terrible.

NaiNaiNai4780d ago

I have it right now.

Haven't played it in a few days. Kinda got bored after fighting the giant wolf demon lady thing. lol.

But I'll start playing again soon. I get the same feeling from this like when I played blue dragon.

WildArmed4780d ago

lol, You won't really get much out of the Single Player.

I highly encourage you to invest some time into the MP.
It was the saving grace for the game (imo)

Spent quite a good number of hours into the MP <3

Great game, looking forward to the sequel!

TheDivine4780d ago (Edited 4780d ago )

I loved blue dragon and hated wkc but i get what you mean niether quite lived up to the potential. White knight sucked badly, i was expecting an epic ff12 like game and got a slow fake mmorpg. The second looks great though hopefully its better. I heard they sped up combat so thats def good. Il plow through it though just so im up to speed for the second but i feel like i wasted 15 bux on this game. Again though if you like mmos youl dig wkc.

NaiNaiNai4780d ago

well I've tried getting online, but it tells me my character isn't allow online and then kicks me.

WildArmed4780d ago

Oh really?
Are you playing an imported version? (Jap)
Because I think you need a JP PSN account to get online.
Thou it shouldn't give you any issues if you are using the International Version.

Azianphil884780d ago

congratz to Sony and especially Level 5 on their milestone.
I'm looking forward to their sequel here in America.

BoNeSaW234780d ago

Title should read: White Knight Chronicles Franchise Has Only Sold 1 Million Worlwide!

Pretty poor for a having 4 games under it's belt. I have never played it and apparently most other gamers haven't either. I was excited before it launched because the PS3 didn't have many RPG's until I read reviews and watched videos of the boring ass combat. I'll pass on this series.
