Title: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time
Post by: Sirgin on March 21, 2009, 07:40:33 PM
This game will hit store shelves the 24th in North America and the 27th in Europe.

Here's the review from GameTrailers:

Basically: it can be fun when playing with friends, but is mostly irritating when playing alone due to the cumbersome AI.

If it can be multiplayer on the one system, as long as the AI is better than in Blaze and Blade I'm gonna love this game. :)

Did you see the AI in the review? Was that better than in Blaze and Blade or not? :P

Wait what? Wii version a port of the DS version? That's weird.

That's what it is. They said so in the review: the graphics look nice for a DS game but are crap for a Wii game. So my guess (and theirs) is that they made a DS game and then ported it to the Wii.

EDIT: That, or they made a bad looking Wii game and then down-ported it to the DS retaining 99% of the visuals. But that seems even less likely.

If they can actually move a few inches away from you to attack an enemy then better... yes it was that bad. In B&B if you had to use AI allies, they had to be something like an archer or they simply would never attack anything since the AI for movement didn't go beyond them trailing you... :(
It was awesome with a multi-tap and 4 players though.
