Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift (Nintendo DS)

Overall Rating: 78% Strategy RPGs, you would think, would be a natural fit for the DS given the touch screen, portability and wifi capabilities. Although FFTA2 does a good job of making a fun and addicting game, it would have been just as good had it been made on the GBA - and I think that's what lets it down. It hardly uses the DS's features - in fact, I find it easier to play with the buttons than the touch screen, the graphics are about the same ...
...outing actually had more in the way of multiplayer than this one does… so, you might be wondering, why does it get a good score? Because at the heart of it, it is a good game and it does its job as a game; it is fun. The gameplay of the game is more or less standard fare for a strategy RPG.

Review of Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift (Nintendo DS)

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 requires alot of strategy. If you do not have patience for strategy games this game is not for you. I recommend this game to people who are over 13 years old. Final Fantasy Tactics A2 is very fun and has a lot of additions from the first Final Fantasy Tactics. There are many jobs to choose from and many possibilities. The music in this game is very good and the graphics are great. The story is very good and addicting and ...
