CTR Review

Featuring classical piano music and a dark theme, this one-to three-player game starts with the famous composer Chopin on his deathbed. He has a dream where he encounters a young girl facing a terrible destiny. Players find themselves immersed in an struggle between good and evil, set to rich piano music played by Stanislav Bunin. Testers found that the story comes on a bit strong, but liked the beautiful music and graphics. The battles can become repetitive and while the world broad, the actual exploration is rather linear. The bottom line? Buy it. Developed by Tri-Crescendo for Namco Bandai.
