The game is a sequel of sorts to the first Code Lyoko game that was released for the DS last year. Fall of X.A.N.A. focuses in on the 4th season of the popular animated series, and the gameplay is a mix of RPG and adventure elements that spans through both the real and virtual world. So what else in store for the upcoming release, and what did we think so far? Keep reading to find out.
We were able to spend a good amount of time with the game, and we were pretty impressed by the number of changes made to the overall gameplay formula from the first Code Lyoko title to this one. For starters, combat is now handled via traditional turn-based RPG encounters. Rather than just recycle the work done for the first game's battle system, The Game Factory has decided to really put some serious time and effort into the evolution of the series."
Code Lyoko is a French animated series that is broadcasted here in the US on Cartoon Network. Six months ago, in the middle of it's forth and final season, Cartoon Network decided to put the show on indefinite hiatus. While fans eagerly await the return of their five favorite boarding school students, Neko Entertainment has developed Code Lyoko: Fall Of X.A.N.A for the Nintendo DS.
Welcome to Lyoko. Or rather, the supercomputer that houses it. Online virtual realms are hardly a new thing, but there is one thing that makes this place stand out from all the Vana'diels and Azeroths of the world: Lyoko is real. Life exists on the other side of that computer screen, and it's not content with staying there; both good and evil beings have been secretly crossing over for years.
For those of you who have heard of the show, but never seen it then this title maybe worth the 30 bucks. For those that have placed the previous title or those not fans of RPGs you should hold off until this title drops $10 dollars or at least rent it first before you buy it.
