THE CRYSTAL BEARERS provides a fresh take on the FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES series as it combines the storytelling depth, expansive world and graphical quality of FINAL FANTASY with motion-driven, real-time action gameplay.
The graphics look very nice, and the story seems like it could be great, however it's bogged down by bad controls and a difficult battle system. It's in real time, and you have to point at your opponent, hold B, and shake. the shaking moves your pointer off screen so you have to recenter every time you attack. The game seems like it has potential, however the controls just ruin the game for me.
There's a lot of faults in this game. The targeting is a pain in the backside, the story makes no sense half the time, and the ticker at the bottom of the screen is just stupid. I have to say the sidequests and minigames are kind of fun though.
I hope that the wii will have a future sequel more better that "I look at [poor] movies then I can play"! If not, let's called it the final one. Unfortunatly!
