Peter Brown from Gamespot has posted a video review of Crimson Dragon along with an accompanying written review. Peter gave the game 5 out of 10, concluding with the following:
It doesn’t take long to realize that for all its efforts to be something more, Crimson Dragon misses the mark. It’s occasionally sloppy, usually frustrating, and ultimately disappointing.
There’s also a pre launch video of one of Gamespot’s editors playing the game and discussing it with his peers. Basically all of the footage has already been shown in the PlayXBLA live streams though.
Despite the mixed reviews, I will still be purchasing Crimson Dragon on Friday. Buying a whole console for just one game is a significant financial decision; no doubt Panzer Dragoon fans will want to proceed with caution here. If there is demand for it, I will write my own review of Crimson Dragon to add my impressions to the growing collection online. Leave a message on the forums or on one of our social networking pages if you’re interested.
