If I'm being honest with myself, the opening sequence of Indiana Jones And The Great Circle had me worried sick for a while. Rather than jumping headfirst into the newest adventure starring Dr. Jones and his archaeological exploits, The Great Circle instead places its tutorial level in a digital version...
Three additional characters and brutal Animalities are overshadowed by an uneven, head-scratching story expansion.
The frenetic fighting Dragon Ball fans expect is here, but it's marred by an overall shallow experience with more repetition than revolution.
Capcom has been on a re-release spree lately; between Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth Collection and Marvel Vs.
