I got the game and so far I'm loving it, now for Arbok's question.
First of All BK fans should be happy to know the voice acting has greatly improved. So far none of the voice actors sound like thre reading directly from the scrips and they sound like they were acually directed. So in other words no more unenthusiastic zombie talk or horrid sounding old ladies (from what I've played) And plus the script writers weren't afraid to use the words "Hell" or "ass" whenever it felt right.
As for the battle system I can't say if it's better or worse but I can say its very different. Depending on how many cards you attacked with you have a meter below the players picture, and the more cards you used when attacking the bigger the meter gets. After attacking the meter goes down and when it depleats that character can go again. The turns characters take in battle isn't as linier as other turn based RPG's. And how you do comboes is different. You have equiped cards with the # 0, attack cards from 1-3 that all look the same as there respected numbered cards, and the special attacks are 4 and higher. The new battle system I'd say is more fast paced to the point where you won't be able to observe half of the battle animations that occure becaouse it's likely while one guy is attacking you'll bechoosing another persons attacks. but there can be long enough pouses if you choose quicky enough. When you use a card with a number on it the next card you choose must have a higher # so if you pick a card with a 3 on it the next card must be 4 or higher. And that's only scratching the serface, just teling you exactly how different it is.
And as for the locations you'll see some old places and a lot of new ones, and even old ones that are a little bit modifyed to match the setting of you being in the past. From what I played your in Alfard while it still had trees and you get to see Azah before it was invaded by the empire. Plus there's a place made entirely out of clay and that's cool.
I've said all I can think of right now. I'll just say it has more new places than old from the bit I played and that the story is just as deep as engaging as before. If you liked the first one this will be definetly worth trying out. If you didn't like the first one just see if the things you didn't like about it before have been fixed. And if you havn't played BK pick up this prequil and see why it made the list of Gamecubes lost gems list, than pick up the first one if you'd like to see how it all ends.
Since this is THEE last game cube exclusive game, I'd say the gamecube died to a great siren song thanks to this game.
here's hoping they decide to continue working on ther DS version and good luck to them on Disaster: day of crysis.
