Just got the most recent edition of game informer, DoC didn't get a very good review or second opinion. Bottom line review is 6.75, but at least that gave credit for the good points of story and imagining, and all that. the second opinion was just insulting, with one shining positive that was quickly put under a bushel so to speak. Quoting this second opinion's finale:
"As always Square's CG sequences are to die for, but not worth playing a crummy game to see."
Regardless this is still going to be one of the first games I at least play when I get a PS2.
