GameDynamo - "When you take a long look at Record of Agarest War Zero, it looks like they didn’t even try to hide the similarities to the Square Enix-owned Tactics games, letting you know that they fully intend to improve on the products that started it all."
TTP: Several games are currently available for reduced prices on the App Store in time for the holidays, allowing players to purchase some of the best titles released in recent times for very convenient prices. Among the games now available for lower prices is a role playing game that’s been made available a while back on the App Store, Record Of Agarest War Zero.
TouchArcade: I don't think I'll ever be accused of being stingy with my words, but if I were to wrap this entire review up into a short summary, here it goes. If you enjoyed Record Of Agarest War [$14.99]'s seventy-something hour campaign, spent dozens of hours more to fully complete everything, and still find yourself wanting another full-sized game offering a similar experience, you should buy Record Of Agarest War Zero [$14.99]. That's essentially the only scenario where I can see recommending this latest release from HyperDevBox, because just about everyone else with an interest in the Agarest series ought to be starting with the first game anyway. Agarest Zero tells a new story with new characters, but the underlying gameplay offers virtually little of note over its predecessor and actually streamlines a few things out that I'm not sure needed to be ditched.
A new entry of the Record Of Agarest War series, published by HyperDevbox, is now available for purchase on the App Store.
He compares it nearly identical to FF Tactics and Ogre which were great games yet gives it a 50 because it's too much like them? Further proof that people are idiots.
I wonder how the reviewer would rate Disgaea 3 or 4. I don't mind reading subtitles. Tactics games aren't known for their stellar graphics, usually what gets people addicted is the fun gameplay and interesting stories. He should have also added 5 points because the ending of the game could not be any worse than the ending for FF tactics.
what an idiot. The game is at least a 75. I am enjoying the hell out of it
you dont review by comparing to other games, you review by looking at the actual game which I bet he played 5 minutes of.
i don't get this review .. why so many references to FFT ? because they are tactical games ?
tactis is a fantastic game , yes but you don't need to compare your game to another , just judge the game on his own merits !!!
Seriously ...
"there are similar games on Xbox LIVE and PSN right now at a fraction of the price."
oh really ? i don't think so ...
i fact if you want tactical rpg action you have disagaea, valkyria Chronicles( to some extent ) and this ..( on home consoles ). if you like the genre don't hesitate
Pre-ordered mine from Shopto earlier for £30...limited edition too which makes it an absolute steal imo. Loved the first game, and can't wait for this one. Will keep me going until Disgaea 4 hits for sure. I don't listen to JRPG/JSRPG reviews this generation. I've enjoyed plenty that have received bad scores.
This review is also false in its information. I doubt there are XBLA/PSN exclusive games that offer as much content and hundreds of hours like this game. So much gas and bias.
