Untold Legends: The Warrior's Code Critic Reviews

Warrior's Code is one of the better action/RPG's to hit the market recently, on any platform.

There are a couple of flaws to point out and the game doesn’t take any groundbreaking strides forward, but in remaining true to the addictive simplicity of the genre and providing just enough new tweaks and additions to the time-tested formula The Warrior’s Code finds itself a lofty spot in our diehard hack-n-slash hearts, and I guarantee it will do the same for any action-RPG fan.

The adventure that the programmers originally had in mind is finally at hand, complete with multiplayer options galore, a lengthy adventure, and a presentation that's stellar.

While hard-core RPG gamers may scoff at the game’s hack and slash approach, it plays well for those looking for an action-RPG that works well as a portable game.

The Attack of Opportunity are so botched that you won’t even bother with them and the Changeling, while cool in concept, is not integrated or balanced, so that your primary character will quickly outclass the beast form.

It is pretty much the exact same type of game that gamers have been playing for years.

An admirably action-packed RPG, but one that gets repetitive fairly quickly.

I'd still kill for a lock-on or strafe but one out of two isn't bad--especially given the quality of the acting and story arcs Untold has on tap.

It's no groundbreaker in the genre, but it'll keep you entertained a few minutes at a time, as all good portable titles should.

Dungeon crawls live or die by their longevity, and sadly this is not a game with staying power. It's fun, yes, and markedly improved since the last game, but the combat has to be more varied and visceral, and the presentation just a little more refined.

While improved in many ways, Untold Legends: The Warrior’s Code is still too generic to tell an emotionally-satisfying tale that can compete with Final Fantasy.

If you enjoy constant hours of hacking and slashing your way through enemies, then Untold Legends: The Warrior's Code is a game that is highly recommended. Otherwise, be careful.

The problem remains that this game is ultimately more of the same. It's still a solid game, just not particularly legendary.

It fixes lots of the little problems that plagued the first game, and it's just involving enough for a long flight or repeated visits to the DMV.

But for the time being, this is as close you're going to get to a Pocket Diablo, and that counts for a lot.

A pretty big step up from "Brotherhood of the Blade." The storyline has been upgraded and fleshed out to a nice degree, and the new attack types are fun to tinker around with and work in to your overall combat strategies. It's just the little things, like the now clunky menu, and the boring levels that really end up preventing the game from being a true success.

A marked improvement over the original PSP launch title, with flashier, smoother graphics, a slicker, more user-friendly presentation, improved combat, and a slew of multiplayer options that will keep fans of the game coming back for more far after they've completed the single player campaign.

Warrior's Code is better looking and sounding than the original, but it doesn't really play any differently. It's still a long slog through thousands of enemies without many distinguishing characteristics.

If you've been hacking and slashing your way through similar games like Baldur's Gate and Champions of Norrath, Untold Legends 2: The Warrior's Code won't blow you away. It's still very much the same kind of game, but that doesn't mean its any worse.

Sony Online improves upon their original PSP RPG with a more intuitive control scheme and online play, but messes up with a disjointed story.
