Seriously, the only review I've read so far that I would call an actual review is that from Fragland. CVG was just plain weird, and based on an old version, and the one in Gunk, well, the reviewer only spent a few minutes playing the game...

It's been 3 days since release. There have to be more reviews out there. I want something to read while my BD arrives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I think both of gamers and gamezine are not paying much attention to BD.
It's very shameful expecting BD turns out to be another most underrated game.
Is it a bit early expectation? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohh.gif" alt="" />

Well there is a review at Real Gamer that can be found here.

Personally, I think this is another review that the score doesn't reflect what was written...

Thanks for the link JaggedJim. Judging from the detailed score, apparently the sound (6/10) brought the rating down. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

RPGDot will be reviewing the game, but the person writing the review has only recently received his copy and being the thorough person he is, I'm sure he plans to play the game through fully first!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />


If God said it, then that settles it!!

Yes, PCGameplay rated it with 78%. They were relatively positive, but disliked the graphics, the interface and the fact that there is no multiplayer.
And it is not that they really disliked the graphics, but its mote that they think in these days, these types of graphics are a passed station.

hmm haven't gotten my pcgameplay may edition yet... post is slow these days

but if that's the case... I think it's worth to write my first mail to them...
graphics a passed station , buh , think this is so subjective

personally : I prefer a 2D rpg over 3D ones ANY time
I just think 2D is alot more detailed + the atmosphere is much greater

no, if it were up to me every rpg would still be 2d <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, same here oblivion. Glad someone else still enjoys a good 2D rpg over a 3D rpg. In fact, I have the same opinion about RTS's. Those are simply two gametypes that should remain 2D.

However, I don't mind 3D if they can just get the camera to work decently.

I find it disturbing that a games review score can be hurt by the fact that there is no multiplayer.

Other than that, I think after the warm reception DD recieved, it will be a small matter of time before reviews start popping up.
