EOII Gets Rave Previews

Etrian Odyssey II is out in a little over a month, so it's natural that many of the bigger gaming website out there are starting to get preview copies of this brilliant little title. As was updated on earlier this week, Nintendo Power have a three page spread regarding the title, and this media furore has been extended to two of the biggest gaming sites out there.

IGN and 1-UP have both release their own previews of this title, and they're both coming back with an incredibly positive message.

Quoth IGN:
"Think of it like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon from a different perspective, trading in the pocket monsters and embracing far more depth. Battles are random though, and the game is punishing to say the least, so this one is for hardcore gamers only."

This is only a small preview from IGN, but it's very positive considering how niche the title is.

With 1-Up, they got a little further with their positive attitude:

Quoth 1-UP:
"seems to recapture everything that made the original so addictive...while switching things up just enough to keep fans on their toes."

Which is a brilliant response to a sequel that initially only had a 30K circulation in the USA.
