Infinite Space Review

Role playing games, especially those of Japanese origin (JRPGs), often rely on a carrot and stick approach.

There’s always some new ability, skill or plot development to keep the player busy, even if the actual level of input is merely selecting from a few limited attacking options or fighting the same creatures over and over again.

Despite what its title suggests, Infinite Space is a very linear RPG, set along an unwavering path and unyielding plot demands.

Strangely it features one of the best plots and characters of any recent DS titles, while simultaneously whipping the player with a dreadful battle system that makes grinding a real chore.
