This is exactly what happened to Torneko: The Last Hope back in 2000. It was torn limb from limb in the reviews with the reviewers finding the game too harsh and simplistic (which, yes, if you didn't get that this was a roguelike and not a standard RPG they may have had a point). @John: I wonder, I plan on reading the review myself today.

I have no reason to doubt this but haven't seen this for myself yet. Rumor has it Nintendo Power’s March ‘08 issue (Tales of Symphonia cover) gave it a 6.5 (its too harsh with its death penalty).

Thanks for the heads up. I'm glad Shiren is getting more coverage so it doesn't slip past people's attention. Thanks for the positive feedback, I’m glad you guys enjoyed the interview!

I'll probably have to write a column about this....

I've been playing the Japanese port for over a year so I already know its a GREAT game (even if I didn't understand any of the sotryline/dialogs), but I assume its going to have to sell pretty good for them to consider bringing Shiren 3 over on the Wii!

I kind of forgot about this game until I read this, but I'm definitely going to get it now. I'm excited about the reviving aspect of the game, but hopefully it doesn't take the other player too long to find your body. Great interview!
