Live In Bergen - Magna Carta

Magna Carta 2: A decent short RPG for the 360

Advantages: Decent battle system, plenty of side quests, not too long
Disadvantages: Uninteresting storyline, poor voice overs

Magna Carta 2 is the third in the Magna Carta series, and the second to be translated into english. As with most jRPGs, knowledge of the other installments isn't necessary. The story centres around Juto, a man who has amnesia and a war between two sides (the rather lazily named Northern and Southern forces). The war comes to the island he lives on and he gets involved afterwards. Obviously there's more to it than that, but it still isn't that interesting. It's abit of a confusing mess, but there are worse stories in jRPGs. There is some characterisation of the cast but in general it's very limited and doesn't add much to the story or the characters. The gameplay is a real time system - the player controls one character and the AI the other two. It's possible to switch between the three characters in real time and there is some ...

Review of Magna Carta 2 (Xbox 360)

City set in Seven Hills

Advantages: Plenty to do in small area, beautiful scenery
Disadvantages: Expensive and tends to be wet!

on UNESCO's World Heritage List, and Bergen is a World Heritage City. Visiting Museums is always a good way to find out the history of the place you are visiting and Bergen has many such museums. The Bryggen Museum and the Hanseatic museum show what life was like in the Middle ages. The Germans were given one side of the Wharf and the merchants lived and worked in these houses. There are charges for both museums and they have different hours of opening in summer. The Bergen Aquarium is popular with locals and visitors, but we preferred to explore other places and the fish we admired was on the market ready to eat! TheTorget Fish market is famous and fruit, flowers. handcrafts and souvenirs were also on sale. The market is under canvas and it was possible to have fish cooked or purchase a crab salad, or even try some smoked whale if you ...

Review of Bergen

RPG game with unique battle system

Advantages: Flashy skills animation, good strategy required
Disadvantages: Too linear and rather monotonous

Reith, who had lost her memory. Exploration in Magna Carta is simple because of the Linearity of this game. When you are in the field there are three modes. Those are Detect Mode, Dash Mode and Rest Mode. While on the battle maps you can switch between Dash and Detect Modes by pressing the R1 button. If you press the square button you will be in rest mode. Detect Mode This is the mode that you will want to be in when you are looking for monsters or treasure on the map. The advantage of being in Detect Mode is that you have a wider range of vision. Battles are commenced when the enemy sees you or if you can get behind the enemy and slash them using the X button. You will know that you are in range of an enemy because they will turn red. Dash Mode This is a faster way of getting around but it's not recommended for fighting ...
