Famitsu reviews Crystal Chronicle

[Great Rumbler]

9 - Depending upon the number of players the play mechanics change. If you have the possibility to play with friends, you should absolutely buy it. The game is great compared with all other GameCube games.

8 - It looks at first like a further action game of roles, but it feels new. The longer one plays, the more fun one has.In the multi-player mode the degree of difficulty and play mechanics change.

7 - In the single player mode I feel isolation and repetitions, but in the multi-player mode the fun doubles itself. Guest characters can unfortunately return no articles. It depends on if you have friends with you whether the play makes fun for you.

8 - It is good that another player can join the play at any time. However the action is weak. It is worth it much to be played. In order to have fun, one needs a friend, who is experienced with video games. It gives more action elements than first expected.

That 7 should be at least an 8, but I guess it's a pretty good score.

The single player doesn't sound too good... not good for people like me with very limited multiplayer possiblities. But maybe it'll be fun anyway... after all, the "experts" thought Gauntlet Legends was bad in single player too. :)
