SLCentral serves us a review of Grandia 2, a anime style RPG that is out for some time now for PC. Their rating is 7/10, and their conclusion is rather negative, despite the rating they gave:
The best thing I can really say is that if you've got a Dreamcast, then by all means, buy this game. For the Dreamcast. Don't waste your time with the PC port when you can get something much better, unless you can't find the PC port and you have a 2 GHz gaming PC lying around. From what I hear, the Playstation 2 port didn't fare a whole lot better in the graphics department, so really, that's where your choices lie.
To be honest, I'm quite disappointed. It makes me wonder if perhaps this is the reason why the Lunar PC port was canned by Working Designs (though that was a 2D game, but I digress). I have no qualms with Game Arts whatsoever, but I really wish they'd have farmed out the port to someone else more familiar with the platform. Better luck next time.
Grandia 2 will be part of the next Gold Games Collection in Germany, together with Gothic and some other not too old games... |
