If you've ever wondered what The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion would look like if you threw everything completely out of balance, nixed any semblance of artistic competence, and coated your television screen with a thin layer of muddy water, then boy, are you in luck. Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga provides all of that in addition to a countless array of downright baffling design decisions, all of which coalesce to produce one of the most painfully unpleasant action/RPG experiences in a long while.

This series is destined to be quickly forgotten in the west (it actually has a strong niche in Japan), which is a pity, because there’s a lot to like about these games. They're not for everyone, but JRPG fans looking for something a little different would do well to try these out.
Neocrisis: Continuing a bumper year of releases, Rising Star Games has confirmed Eldar Saga's 2010 release date as 17th September. The game will fill a niche in the current games climate by appealing to Wii owners who are interested in the RPG format.
Ouch...:/ It's not that it was a bad project/idea - It's just that it feels unfinished to me at least. Vastly different from the PSP versions yet still has a bit of 'life' to it. Graphics usually don't bother me, but controls were kind of awkward even with my classic controller, I suppose the controls themselves I shouldn't say were awkward, but the animations seemed that way. It's not that the Valhalla Knights games are bad per say, but for this one I feel that they could have done it a little bit better.
I'll more than likely pick up and play this game again, but I'd rather do it via co-op with someone rather than through the A.I partner again as that was just frustrating. :/
honestly wow, I feel bad for people who play games like that.
I rated alien syndrome a 4/10 now I feel generous about that... If this game is a 3/10 then AS should of gotten the smelly brown fish award.
