Didn\'t they do Tobal 2 and Einhander? Actually, I think it\'s their current generation non-RPG stuff that\'s been a letdown. Bouncer does look gorgeous, and uses the same character designer as Final Fantasy 9. But, like you said, the beat-em-up genre is getting stale. Back on 16bit systems, very few games were over 3 hours. You could fly through Sonic, Mario Bros, etc. But NOW, enter 3D. And enter expectations of 30 hour gaming "experiences". Which is a shame; nuthin\' better than a game you can enjoy over and over and over. I wonder when we\'ll start expecting a romp through a Tekken type game to take 5 hours to get to the boss. [/B]
DreamFactory done Tobal 2 I believe. Not sure. Correct me, if I\'m wrong , someone. They did do Einhander though. So, your right. Its their current stuff that is more a letdown, in the non-rpg department. "The Bouncer" has quite a few strikes against it from the get-go. Its beat-\'em\'-up, which mostly last like an hour and don\'t have replay value, etc. Either way, I may rent it. But, I\'ll remain skeptical on it is as a purchase.
