Double Fine's first stab at turning this premise into an action RPG made a great initial impression, but unfortunately the sugar rush wore off as the combat and quests became overly repetitive. The taste it left was still sweet, but it never quite...

I loved the first Costume Quest. Its simplistic nature and Double Fine humor really added something to the turn-based RPG. Sure, it wasn't the best looking game, and sure after a while the combat got a little old, but the witty dialog and different...

Costume Quest 2 muss sich nicht verstecken: Technische Defizite werden mit Charme, Humor und Atmosphäre wettgemacht. Wenn ihr euch mit den simplen Rollenspielelementen anfreunden könnt und dem infantilen Anstrich nicht abgeneigt seid, dann schaut hier...

In definitiva questo Costume Quest 2 si delinea come piacevole e divertente da giocare, grazie alla sua grafica cartoonesca e alla leggerezza del gameplay, che si rifà ai classici JRPG. Il titolo non scade comunque in tecnicismi eccessivi, e si...
