Magna Carta II is an RPG developed by South Korean developer Softmax and published by Banpresto Exclusively for the Xbox 360, its a follow up to the RPG Magna Carta: The Phantom of Avalanche released on Windows and Magna Carta Crimson Stigmata Released on the ps2. It was released in Japan on August 6 2009, and in north America on October 13 2009. This marks the series first entry onto a seventh generations console.
and published by Bandai Namco in the United states version.
The games battle system mixes strategic turn based and real time elements. There is a free roaming camera throughout the game. When an encounter with an enemy occurs during feild movement or an event, the player has the option of switching from movement mode, during which the controlled character can move freely, to combat mode during which the character draws his or hers weapon. This gives the player the opportunity to attack. There is no loading screen when entering a fight; all battles take place in the feilds. In the game players earn Kamonds by defeating monsters that can be used to power up weapons. At Kamond shops players can turn kamonds into accesories etc, the game is said to deliver 40 hours of gameplay but im a little over halfway and i easily clocked more the 40 hours so go figure.
The story goes long ago the great war left the continent of Lanzheim a barren ruin. To save his land, the great hero Strauss sacrificed himself to the flying warship La Strada, spreading enough Kan-a powerful form of energy-to turn Lanzheim into a paradise,for 11,00 years, the land was home to many races who lived in peace and harmony, but the shadows of war are now closing in once again. The story in this game really grabs your attention and tales an excellent tale maybe not one you have heard a dozen times but told very well.
Magna Carta,s graphics are all right nothing special and nothing bad there lush brite enviroments and some dark gloomy graphics as well, theres no big deal with the graphics but done well, the voice oer and music is a bright spot in this game, theres some excellent voice acting and does not sound rehearsed and the music is fitting to a great game.
So overall this is a very well made game for the 360, and if your a fan of the series then this one you will want, and even if you have never heard of it, this game will engross you and pull you in to a fantastic world of a ravaged war and where you are in this war may surprise you. But this game i totally recommend adding to your Xbox rpg collection.
I have Magna Carta Tears of Blood (PS2) in all it's deluxe edition glory. The battle system is complete garbage and I've never played past the first battle because I was unable to complete any attacks. I bought MC 2 because I knew they'd changed to a system that I could actually hit people with. LOL I haven't invested much time in it so I can't give an honest opinion.
All I can say is do not go anywhere near Tears of Blood unless you want to buy my copy for 80 bucks, LOL
I have a copy of that but it's not the deluxe edition. I also haven't played it yet.
Lol $80 I thought you said it sucks 80 bucks for me it better be a damn good game or say NIS or Megami Tensei on the box lol.
Those girls have some nice legs. 
I bought this game a while back and still hadn't played it yet. I also bought the PS2 games. Hadn't played that either. 
MC2 looks like a good game. I remember reading some blogs about it on 1UP. I read bad things about the PS2 game though.
Dem legs.
...are crazy out of proportion like they are drawn from what you'd see in a fun house mirror. I'm not complaining really, just saying.
Well, the game has some interesting looking characters anyway.
Haha, I loved this game... Korean art style is great, I find we don't get enough quality games that showcase it well enough here in North America. Localized, anyways.
I loved the voice acting too, btw!
This rpg is great. The main character reminded me of Cecil from FF4. I got close to the end then life obligations made me put it down. When I returned I realized I had forgotten the nuances of the combat engine. Ouch!
Don't know if I have it in me to start over from the beginning but maybe I can use the new game file just to get accustomed to the battles again!
Clare and Melissa are very sexy O_O, I wonder how much this is at gamestop right now......
Yes it is at Gamestop, but as I suspected, it's at a overly high price of $30 after being out since '09. There's probably a low number of printed copies creating a higher cost for ya. Or maybe Gamestop knows this is the kind of game collectors like to pick up, so they inflate the price. I wonder.
Prolly so, it seems to be kind of a rare find new. Even glyde's lowest price for it is 37.00. My sister owns the 360 so its really not worth buying for 30 since Im not sure when I would have time to play it. I guess Ill hold out for now unless a really cheap find of it comes along.
Magna Carta 2 is like Tales of Vesperia although you can find them without to much trouble at games stop they are both expensive rpgs probable bucause of the limited copies released its so funny cause this game has only lost half its value since its release but while there was a limited first print of devil summoner it was 9.99 used not sure how they figured that but there you go.
Very interesting. I may have to try to track a copy down. Maybe hit up one of the used stores in town that isn't Gamestop.
I really didnt have a hard time finding it, but of course at the time i wasnt looking for it either lol.
