Culdcept Saga (360)

Today boys and girls I have a review of Culdcept Saga for the 360.

Gameplay: The game plays like Yu-gi-oh meets Monopoly and that works well for it. Roll the dice move about the board taking land by placing monster you summon from cards to guard them and fight for them when your opponent attempts to take them. Along with monster you get some nifty item and spell cards to make the game a bit more interesting. The goal of each board is basically the same being collect X amount of gold total. Pretty fun in its simplicity. 4/5

Story: You take the role of a young boy sold into slavery who becomes a cepter by chance and ends up fighting in the arena while coached by a mysterios girl who spouts the typical your destiny garbage...the story for the most part is just a way of moving you from fight to fight...and thus isn't very good. 2/5

Graphics: Graphically the game is pretty nice. Not the best for a next gen or a 360 but still pretty good. The art for the cards is top notch but the animation for battles are a bit lacking. It seems to be caught in the middle. 3/5

Audio: Voice actors do a surprisingly good job of drawing you in...which for as sub-par as the story is really helps the whole point a to b-ness of it. Music is forgettable but the general sound effects are nice. 3/5

Replay: The multi-player is fun if you have like-minded friends who enjoy this kind of game or you can go online and find some. The story isn't all that great for playing through twice unless you are looking to unlock the little bonus items you can use to change your characters appearence.

Overall: A pretty good game if you like things like yu-gi-oh or monopoly but if you don't you should prolly try it anyway its pretty fun game in its self. Nothing like collecting a horde of treasure or screwing out your opponet early on and crippling them for the rest of your match...muwhahaha...just me? 3/5
