i don't trust reviews but the few review i have seen about this have been like "mmm,it's an rpg,7!" which kinda translate to "it's generic and bad,not worth" the fact that it features touch screen minigame to power up special attack is one of the trait that usualy get slapped on stinkers
but ehy you the guy reading right now! maybe you'll give it a better chance than me!

Looks like another generic and average jrpg for the nintendo ds.

RPGs are the one genre, more than anything else, that you can't trust game reviews with. Mostly because game reviewers don't have the time/care to play through the entire thing. So it always boils down to "Bioware/Bethesda/
Square_Enix/Atlus? = 9/10! Best game ever!!", "Everything else = 7? Maybe?"
On topic, I have no clue if this game is decent or not. Doesn't seem too special overall. Though I do find it funny that its managing to steal the thunder from the long waited Sands of Destruction :lol

well sands of destruction had an interessing premise and good production value but this just does look boring and ugly
it just seems like a way for nintendo to troll earthbound fans
"AHY GUYZ WE'LL BRING RPG NOBODY CARES ABOUT BUT YOUR LOVED EARTHBOUND? TSK TSK"

These games look like c-games. Like Wild Arms games.
That said, I do agree with your overall point, but this goes beyond rpgs.
I remember in one review for a srpg, they knocked points for being a "Final Fantasy Tactics clone". Games like God Hand and Ultimate Ghouls and Ghosts were slammed in some parts of the review part of the industry for even more lame reasons.
It's the writers themselves. They're asked to review and review games and genres they are not knowledgeable about. Ask drinky, maf, or lyte edge about how they feel towards game "journo" treatment of Dynasty Warriors games when they give games like Madden 9's across the board on an annual basis.

:yuck :yuck :yuck
This doesn't look pre-rendered though?
I wasn't talking about Wild Arms being generic in terms of look. It's not, when you consider the amount of jrpgs that take place in a western setting (aka very few). I was talking about quality.

it's actually pretty good, and has a great localization. the graphics aren't that bad in motion, although they are DS-brand HIDEOS

The first Wild Arms game was at least a B, Himuro. I dunno about the others, but they look like the developers actually put out some effort, unlike the shitty screenshot that I'm looking at in this thread.

Ah, so that's the problem.
