I was shocked…mouth-gaping-wide shocked when I saw GameSpot’s review of LostWinds. Reader Minidragon tipped me onto the reviews, and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing for LostWinds.
The Good
- Unique control scheme
- Some gorgeous environments.
The Bad
- Lack of energy
- Too many ugly environments
- Only three hours long
- Sometimes unresponsive controls
- Lacks personality
I haven’t had the chance to put much time into FFCC:MLaaK, but based on the other reviews that have been floating around, GameSpot’s score comes in much lower. I will give them the benefit of the doubt in this instance, only for my own personal opinion. Once I get deeper into the game, I can form an honest/complete reaction.
The Good
- Charming visuals and characters
- It’s fun to watch your city flourish.
The Bad
- Separately purchased downloadable content is required if you want any variety
- Lacks basic city-building features
- Gameplay limitations lead to major balance issues.
Please, I beg you to read both reviews fully before you make any comments. Also, it would help just a tiny bit if you’ve played the games as well!
