All that I know is that I've heard nothing but good press about it, from across the globe. This is probably one of the most praised imports I've ever seen to not get a great amount of attention, in the states. Even the magazines are harping on it, but for some strange reason, it's still not getting everybody's attention.
I think the one thing missing is the lack of advertisement, for the game. Sega's just putting it out, but there seems to be no advertising on it, whatsoever. The demo was pretty keen, though. I loved the Outrun 2 demo, and I'm sure getting that one. Also, the Kingdom's Under Fire demo was quite interesting. I was a bit surprised as to how much *story* they are putting into KUF. Graphics are decent to very good considering the insane (Dragon Force-like) amount of units on screen with no pop-up. But the biggest presentation factor is all the comraderie (or lack thereof) and communication amongst various key members of your groups. It's quite cinema-like for a game that is pretty much all playable. A few lines though seem to repeat a bit too much, but that's usually what you get when you move teams around a lot in an RTS.

Another game that is getting some good press but virtually unheard of by the gaming community is Blood Will Tell (also published by Sega). The guy at EB (actually a decent/intelligent gamer) was raving about it....
Anyone played BWT or Otogi 2 yet?

Agreed. The game has one of the greatest end-boss encounters in the history of gaming too. I was actually moved by it's grace, but I won't spoil it.
Truly a game with wonderous artistic appeal, not ot mention perfect control, a near perfect camera, and 6 very cool characters to play as. The Gagaku music returns, and so does a set of "Challange Missions" that will earn you accsesories, magic, and weapons. Gone is the weight issue with weapons, and the weapons have been simplified to 4 per character. Also, if you thought the first was hard, get ready to bend over and grab your ankles for this one! It's never unfair, but man, what an exhilerating challange!!!
Don't miss it!!!
