Suikoden IV Reviewed at IGN
http://ps2.ign.com/articles/577/577889p1.html
Suikoden IV got a 7.9. This is pretty low compared to the previous three games, who all received 9.0 or higher from IGN.
The game is due for release next week, I already have it pre ordered and I'll be picking it up on friday. Is anyone else looking forward to this game? Suikoden III received GameSpot's RPG of The Year in 2002... beating Sqaure's Kingdom Hearts. I just hope the fourth installment lives up to the other three games.

Re: Suikoden IV Reviewed at IGN
I'm pleased by the review. Most of his complaints were about the lack of Trinity Sight System. Actually... I'm happy that it's gone. It worked great for three, because the story permitted for three possible outcomes; but, it shouldn't be repeated and overused.
I'm glad that the pairs have been removed... but four controllable characters? Four out of 100ish? There was a time when I felt six was not enough. I can't imagine how four could be enough. It'll be your main character and three extras. And, there are many points in the game when you are required to have people in your party.
I -expect- the game to be excellent like the previous few. The party size is my only concern.

Re: Suikoden IV Reviewed at IGN
A lot lower than I expected.
Edit: EGM gave it 6/10 and GMR gave it 5/10
wtf happened...

Re: Suikoden IV Reviewed at IGN
Well I've played about 2 hours of the game so far... and I'm not quite feeling it. It just seems, sort of, lifeless... Areas I've explored so far are really kind of dull, not interesting in the least. Story is half interesting, half boring so far, and combat is really bland right now.
I dunno, I'm just not feeling it. With all previous Suikoden games I was hooked from the start, this one just seems odd, so far... I mean, it could very will pick up and become more interesting soon, hopefully.
Ugh, and the sea travel on the ship... it takes nearly 12 minutes to travel between two VERY close together islands because there's a random battle every 5 freakin seconds. I find myself retreating 9/10 battles I encounter because A) it would take forever to get somewhere by fighting every battle, and B) its the same god damn wild sea weed monster crap over and over again, which is incredibly boring.
I see potential in the game, but I really not impressed with it right now...

Re: Suikoden IV Reviewed at IGN
Yeah. It's definently disappointing. Which sucks considering how badly I want to love the game.
*TIP* Hold R1 when running or in a ship. You go faster.
