Bottom Line:
Jeanne d'Arc is a great tactical game from Level 5 that is probably going to sneak under the radar of most gamers. With its tight interface, unique character abilities, and underused setting, this game should definitely interest any tactical fans out there.
Pros:
* + Tried and true tactics system.
* + Good variety of equipment and skills.
* + Interesting take on a legendary story.
Cons:
* - Nothing excitingly new as far as the tactics genre is concerned.
* - Bobble-headed character models may not appeal to serious players.
* - Small battle groups in most missions.
Phil at SPC writes, "Welcome to the return of One & Done, an article series on SPC that talks about games that never became franchises. They were literally one and done! Now, the purpose of these articles isn't to beg for sequels, as some of these games don't need them and not every game needs to become a franchise. Instead, we're just exploring and fondly remembering these terrific titles from generations' past and giving them some more time in the old spotlight."
I also remember Cold Fear. Never wound up buying it but I watched some of the walkthrough years later.
Gun could’ve gone on, but RDR was a tough act to follow.
Early years of the following gen had quite a few one-shots. Heavenly Sword, Lair, Haze, Folklore, Stranglehold. Bah gawd Stranglehold had expensive DLC for its day.
There are the superstars of the Japanese RPG genre, the must-plays on any gamer’s list: Final Fantasy VII, Persona 4, Chrono Trigger. This is a not a list of those.
Although it's not entirely JRPG and has a little more emphasizes on the action side, I also highly recommend Nier on the PS3.
A very underrated obscure game, but very enjoyable.
Dragon Quest IV is one of the most well-known and well-loved JRPGs in the entire history of gaming.
The role playing game Jeanne D'Arc is finally available for download on PlayStation Vita in North America. The game could only be played on PS Vita previously by downloading it on a PS3 and transferring the game.
I finished this game and I'd give it at LEAST a 9.0. It's fvcking fantastic, these clowns have no clue what they're reviewing.
EDIT: Do my eyes decieve me, or did they really say one of the cons of this game was the character designs? Lame.
I agree with u mac this is the best buy that i purchased for my PSP ever!!....9.5 out of 10 in my opinion.
7/10, PSU are stupider than I thought, this game is the best thing on PSP
