Sure, they've given a bad review, I can understand that. Sometimes games don't live up to their expectations. I didn't hear anything about the story, or anything that important than the battle mechanics. Which as far as I know, they are changing for the english release.

The soundtrack, bad? I have the soundtrack, a lot of the songs are really well done and are very high quality mixes. They give a great mood, for what the game is. I have no idea why they'd think it's a bad soundtrack, I've heard really bad ones from movies and games, and this is by far not one of them. -_-;

I seriously don't know why these people import games to review, and I don't think they really gave it that much of a chance. I'd rather wait and hire the game when it comes out, rather than judge it before it has reached my shore, especially when they announced there will be a lot of changes to be made.

IMO,i think PSM2 is just trying to attract its readers by being so sarcastic. Else there will be nothing special about PSM2...For DOC, IGN and Gamespot's preview(import playtest) were far better than PSM2.

And how could they say the soundtrack is rubbish? Even for Nobuo Uematsu's previous soundtracks,i can say there some badly done musics(although i like most of his tracks). Masashi Hamauzu was better in terms of the sound quality and it's more consistent in terms of quality. i think it truely show the true power of the PS2 128-bit sound chip. (Uematsu's FFX Brave Advancement sounds the worst,featuring PS1 quality sounds)

And one thing, I really doubt if the reviewers of PSM2 knows Japanese?
If they dont,how are they gonna review?
