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)

Buy an original Magna Carta guv?

Advantages: Interesting place to visit.
Disadvantages: None

will come to the Georgian Prison Building which was built in 1787 for debtors and felons. I found this to be very interesting in particular because it housed the prison chapel. Instead of pews the prisoners stood up in wooden cells which were designed to resemble coffins and gave them only a view of the preacher and nothing else. Not only can you stand in one of the cells but also stand on the pulpit and look out over the congregation that are permanently housed their. Locking your child in is optional but to be expected, mine was not impressed proclaiming that he knew I would do it when he went in. Also contained in the prison building is an exhibit of the Magna Carta. I was not aware that there are actually four surviving originals of the Magna Carta and one is housed at Lincoln Castle. Certainly the approach for the display was aimed ...

Review of Lincoln Castle

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 ...
