Game Summary:
MagnaCarta II (마그나카르타 2 Mageunakareuta 2, マグナカルタ2 Magunakaruta 2) is a video game developed by South Korean developer Softmax and published by Banpresto exclusively for Xbox 360. It is a follow-up to the role-playing games Magna Carta: The Phantom of Avalanche released on Windows and Magna Carta: Crimson Stigmata released on the PlayStation 2. It was released in Japan on August 6, 2009 and in North America on October 13, 2009. This marks the series’ first entry onto a seventh generation console. The game was officially unveiled in the April 2009 edition of Famitsu magazine.
Reception
The game received generally middling reviews from critics, earning an aggregate Metacritic score of 68. IGN criticized the battle system stating, ”this feels almost archaic and could have been run on a PS1, enemy AI is almost non-existent and character abilities are generic.” Robert Townslend of Game Informer said, ”While the story starts off having the potential to be great, it quickly degrades into the same old story of a young man with no memories saving a kingdom. This has only been done thousands of times in other games.” Annette Gonzalez of Game Informer was more positive citing that ”Battles are intuitive and addicting, although awkward camera angles can sometimes hinder combat”, and praising the voice cast, saying the fully voiced dialogue is a ”vast improvement over Tears of Blood.”
