I'm writing this all from memory. The game recieved an 8/10.
Pros:
-The "best" online action RPG on the system.
-The dodging and charging techniques work well.
-Still addictive after many years.
-Online gameplay is smooth.
-Compelling storyline (although a little short).
Cons:
-No ability to quickly swap weapons.
-6 slots for attacks/items/dodging/techniques. Again, no quick swap if you are a Force that doesn't have room to fit necessary techniques.
-Story was a little on the short side.
I'm not saying I will agree with any of this. I personally find Nintendo Power to be very biased and therefore take everything they say with a grain of salt. However, they've gotten their hands on the game quite early so it's nice to see some information on the full build of the game.
