Magnacarta 2 introduces an original new storyline driven by intense themes of love, hate, politics, betrayal and the ultimate question of choosing one’s own fate. Players are immersed in the world of the Lanzheim Continent, a conflict-ridden land deeply divided by a fierce civil war. Powered by the Unreal Engine3 and featuring character designs by famed Korean artist Hyung-Tae Kim, the game bears a striking visual style unlike any other RPG through its blend of photo-realism and Japanese manga influences. The deeply emotional story is driven by beautifully rendered CGI cut-scenes featuring fully voiced dialogue to draw players into the immersive experience. Delivering more than 40 hours of gameplay, Magnacarta 2 features a unique battle system which combines strategic turn-based battles and real-time gameplay, creating a fresh twist on the traditional RPG formula. The game seamlessly blends world navigation and battles as everything happens in the same environment with no load screens or abrupt changes in the action when a fight begins or ends. Players can utilize objects found in the environment to their advantage and likewise, creatures and field objects dynamically react to the player’s actions. A free roaming camera further adds to the unrestricted interaction with the world. Players are also given flexible control over their party with the ability to pre-assign attributes for each AI character and freedom to easily switch control between all the characters at any time.

User Reviews about Magna Carta 2

The graphics are amazing. Cut scenes are great. However the story line is cliche and i found to0 slow moving to stick with it...So i'll be cliche her as well in my review, "So easy, a caveman could do it." I bought this game used at gamestop. Wish i'ld saved my money. If you're new to rpg and gaming might be a good fit for you. I needed more.

To recap--The grahpics are stunning!!! -- 5 stars for the art. 2-3 stars overall.

This is a must buy for the Xbox and you wont't be disappointed. Great story and its a "can't
put the game down" once you start playing. -- Great Xbox game

This games is very simialr to Infinite Discovery so if you liked that game try this one out. -- Great Game

Magna Carta 2 is the continuation of the Magna Carta games. I don't know why they made another one, Magna Carta was a decent game but had many flaws. I don't know why the people at Bandai wanted to make another one. I don't think it was that popular at least not here in America.

Anyway to my review of Magna Carta 2. It's a above average game, but just like the last few JRPG's(Tales of Vesperia, Lost Odyssey, and Final Fantasy XII) it doesn't reach that next level. I haven't played a great JRPG since Tales of Abyss. Maybe it's because I've been spoiled by such games as Mass Effect and Fall Out 3.

Magna Carta 2 story is a decent one, but also the same as many before it. Our hero wakes up on a island with no memory of who he is or where he's from. From there something terrible happens that makes him go on a journey of revenge. The people at Bandai do a decent job with the story, but just like the ones I've listed above they have predictable stories, toward the end of the game it gets down right bad, and the climax/ending is just terrible. I don't know about you players out there, but for me when I play a any RPG for at least 30hrs I want them to make it worth my while at the end with a good ending. Is it really that hard for these companies to put a little effort into this.

The characters in the game are decent from Juto, Zephie, to Rue, but again they suffer from being basically the same characters you've seen in many JRPG'S. They aren't interesting, there's no real depth to these characters, and like me you ultimately won't care about any of them at the end.

The game play is hard, and it's easier than the first game. There are few and far between save points, so you have to be prepared or you'd better be prepared to be pissed off when you die and have to start way back in another area.

The graphics are the best part of the game, especially the characters in the game are really done well. The same goes for the world Bandai created.

Overall Magna Carta 2 is just another in a long line of average JRPG games. What I think Magna Carta 2 and many other JRPG games lack is the ability for the player to half some kind of impact on the story and characters. It doesn't have to be a huge impact just give us something. It makes the player like me more involved with the story and characters. If the companies of Japan don't do something about this soon they won't ever catch up to companies like BIOWARE and Bethesda.

I am hoping Final Fantasy XIII is a great game unlike the last one, but I have my doubts. Up next for me is Mass Effect 2. -- Another average JRPG

. So I bought this game because of the art, Hyung-Tae Kim is awesome. Anything with him involved I try to get, I don't know when I'll play this game, I'm sure its good, but the art was the selling point -- Art
