Not all that great, i'd advise that you ignore the hype -  |
Jeanne D'arc Review |
|
I was real excited when i finally got my hands on this game.
perhaps its because i enjoyed final fantasy tactics so much that i found this game to be easy in every aspect imaginable. character customization is a joke; you can put on any suit of armor (but character clothing never changes its appearance), you can put on shield...for about four characters out of fourteen, and a weapon. i was dissappointed by this strategy game but i will admit it kept me occupied, however i cant stand to see such a subpar game get so much acclaim. Story: 5 out of 10 for the first... third of the game, the story is bland. in fact for the ten to fifteen levels i often was repulsed by the story and just wanted to get back to the gameplay. however it does redeem itself further into the game when certain (and unexpected) characters either die or leave your ranks. i must admit i expected the story to be lame due to the fact that it was fantasy and i had to fight demons but i did expect a little more than a final fantasy rip off story. (I'm not a fan of the ff series but i can tell when its being ripped off, collecting heroes with jewel armlets and ending an oppressive evil... real original) Graphics: 7 out of 10 characters look cartoony and ridiculous(their heads are the same size as their bodies), background looks fine though. i mentioned earlier that the armor the characters wear remains constant throughout the game regardless of changing it add that to the cons section. Sound: 7 out of 10 sfx are fine, the voice acting fits the characters, no subtitles is lame for those who dont play with the volume at max.,voice acting only occurs on random cinematics the rest of the game is read then hit x to continue which is fine i guess but if you already have the voice actors why not enhance the experience and have them speak at all times. (perhaps im spoiled by the newer games on the psp) Gameplay: 6 out of 10 a strategy game a toddler can play is the best way to describe this game. the only real strategy in this game is not using up your set amount of turns and not letting you leader fall in combat, besides that its so ridiculously easy. even the boss battles were boring. I must say this game hardly brings anything new to the table. i think the only things of note were the combined defense which at times was useless and the burning auras which made an easy game easier. one major thing that bothered me from start to finish is the elements, lunar stella and sol which in translation is moon star sun. which one is weaker to another? it wouldve been fine to just make it water fire and lighting but instead the game chooses to make one subtle and annoying difference. the skills were about the only worth while customization, my only complaint is that you quickly gain extra boxes to fill earlier in the game and then it abruptly stops after a few levels. another complaint is the load time everytime you need to enter the menu, its not a major thing but it does become annoying especially since every submenu takes as much time as well. if i can say what really hurt the game was that the ability to have many turns with the main heroes after killing opponents, i often won a battle towards the middle of a battle in one phase (i believe at one point i defeated an entire 6 enemies). more often than not the usual strategy is use the bowmen and three strongest fighters to quickly eliminate the enemies from afar while they mindlessly charge into your strongest men while taking arrow hits. overall score: 7 out of 10 its a decent game, not great but still something to take up time. if you are above the age of twelve and arent afraid of a little bit of challenge then I'd recomend final fantasy tactics. however if you dont want any challenge at all and just want an easy tactics game then i suggest this game because you rarely run into a difficult situation. if you already beat final fantasy tactics then check out disgaea (or any other tactics game) first before coming to this game. |

Great Strategy RPG! -  |
Jeanne D'arc Review |
|
If you're looking a great SRPG for your PSP after you beat Final Fantasy Tactics, Jeanne D' Arc is the game you're looking for!
This game is beautiful, a real masterpiece from the guys of Level 5, the history of this game is the well known history of Jeanne D'Arc, but this time you can add monsters and posesions to the formula and the history gets even better. The graphics are too good for the PSP (Better that the ones from Disgaea), as an RPG it has some pros and cons, maybe FFT and Disgaea has a lot of history and experience behind them as SRPG (Square Enix and Nippon Ichi aren't noobs) but this is a great first try for Level 5, well, let's see the pros and cons of this game: Pros: -Beautiful history and solid charachters. -Great anime cutscenes. -A very easy to understand gameplay. -The transformations mode add a lot of strategy to your battles. -The leveling system is easy to understand. -It has some sidequest that add more play-time to your quest. The colisseum is a tricky place if you want to beat it completely. -A lot of skills to use, and the combine system add some fun to it =P. Cons: -You can't create charachters, only the history ones, but you're plenty of them. -If you have an enemy at your side and you attack, you can't move. To me a critical error. In most SRPG you can move and attack or attack and move. If you like SRPG's this game is for you. And now you can buy it via PSN too! |

Jeanne D'arc Review |

Reviewed for Big Boss Games By: T.R.C.
The Story (taken from the instruction book): Another Story of the battles of St. Jeanne D'arc A long time ago, there was a battle known as the War of the Reapers. The Reaper, led by a demon lord possessed with the great power of darkness, invaded the human world with their armies of demons. The humans pooled their battle strength, and it extended into a long conflict. In order to seal the evil, five chosen warriors of battle created five armlets and, using their power, sealed the demon lord and the reapers into sacred jewels. Time passed until the dawn of the 15th century, and territory disputes between France and England are ongoing. In the middle of a festival held in the small French village of Domremy, the town is beset by attacks from demons like nothing the citizens have ever seen before. Suddenly a girl in the village, Jeanne, hears a voice from heaven telling her to "defeat the enemies". She picks up her sword, and destroys them all. On her right arm was an armlet quite like the ones used by the warriors of the War of the Reapers. Guided by a voice from heaven, Jeanne, along with the young girl Liane and former mercenary Roger, heads for the castle of Charles the Dauphin. But, the destiny of Jeanne and her friends, who embark on a long journey into battle to save their mother country, has yet to be determined. Story: 4.5/5 Almost perfect... this story is not for anyone under 13 years old. You start out as a young girl that finds a magical armlet that lots of people are looking for and will kill many people to get it. This game has good guys that lose it and become monsters themselves. This game also has a good old fashion witch burning. Also, your friends are never what they seem. Sound: 4.5/5 What a great musical score from such an adult game. Graphics: 5/5 The opening, closing and cut scenes are movie quality. WOW! I was so drawn into the story that I didn't notice that the game had begun. The art style that Level-5 used to tell this dark tale was perfect! Game-play: 4/5 Turn-based strategy, I really liked the battle system in Jeanne D'Arc because as soon as the game starts to feel worn and tired out, they toss you some new skill or magic attack that will draw you back. Also, the FROG is super cool! Feed him well. Replay Value: 1/5 I'm truly afraid to replay this great game. I'm not sure that I can handle the bonfire scene again... This game is not for little kids and any adults that have issues with death, destruction and lots of drama. Overall: 4.5/5 This drama filled adventure into pseudo history is one that will haunt your nightmares for many a night. Jeanne D'Arc is one of the most memorable games I've ever played. I will never forget this game. This game will leave you with more questions than answers and that is ok because that allows us to fill in the blanks. I've kept this gem of a game in my personal collection. I recommend this game for any story driven RPG fan that likes drama. Again, this game is not for kids... |

Amazing game - |
Jeanne D'arc Review |
|
I love this game, I wish it was longer, I want to keep playing! I was on the fence for a while about buying this, but now it's the only psp game I play at the moment. Someday I will dust off crisis core and continue with that, but for now Jean D'ARC is my game. I do recommend this title to anyone who likes strategy RPG's. |

Doesn't quite scratch the RPG itch - |
Jeanne D'arc Review |
|
This game is a bittersweet mix. The good parts include compelling, beautiful cutscenes, a fun and flexible character customization system, and combat that has a lot of enjoyable elements. But the quality of the game is cut short by sub-cutscenes with meaningless, cheesy dialogue, an overly large party, a lack of plot elements, and some glaring limitations in the combat system.
The cut-scenes are by far the most beautiful piece of the game. They are done in very professional anime and have excellent voice acting. It's a joy to watch. Unfortunately, right after one of those scenes ends, there's usually a follow-on cutscene that uses blocky, bobble-head characters speaking in dialogue bubbles. Often the bubble-encased dialogue goes like this: Jeanne: "Roger!" Roger: "...!" Jeanne: "..." Roger: "What the...?" Jeanne: "!!!" And so it goes on ad nauseum, ad infinitum. The sub-cutscenes play like they were written not for children, but rather BY children. It's disappointing and annoying. The characters end up more like characitures; historical figures are portrayed in an embarassingly childish manner. This really hamstrings any potential drama, intensity, or impact the story could have. The character customization system is good. It's fun to play dress-up with one's party and get them outfitted with the most battle-specific toys. Unfortunately, that's really what the game ends up being: you outfit your party for battle and fight, then comes a terrible bobblehead sub-cutscene that is painful to read, then occasionally a nice anime cutscene. There are no real plot choices, there's nothing to do outside of battle, and since the battles are turn-limited you can't even really explore the battle map thoroughly for hidden treasures. This really is a game of combat. The combat itself is fun to a large degree, but the maps can get quite large or hard to navigate, and the characters can only move a few tiles at a time. This makes for annoyance rather than excitement, and sometimes you'll lose a battle just for the sake of time running out. Another negative aspect to the game is the party, over which you have no control who comes and goes. You may spend the whole game developing a character, only for that character to die in a cutscene or just up and leave. There are also so many characters (most of whom you won't use)that the experience points are stretched rather thin. I was looking for a solid RPG for the PSP, and this is definitely not it. It does get quite addictive though, and if you can ignore the shortcomings it can be good entertainment. |
