IGN: Crystal Defenders Review
As both the first Square Enix game and the first tower defense game on Xbox Live Arcade, Crystal Defenders is a disappointment. Yes, it succeeds in providing a tower defense experience with Final Fantasy job classes, but what’s the real value in that? There is a ton of content here, with hundreds of stages to plow through, but IGN was bored and unimpressed in the first five minutes. If you’re dying to play a game like this, you’ve probably already satiated your desire with an iPhone, iPod, DS or PC game by now. So why pay 800 Microsoft Points ($10) for this?
