La Pucelle Tactics is the worst PlayStation 2 game I have ever seen. It's slow. It's boring. It's dumb. It tries to be cute and fails miserably. It's badly voice acted. It looks like a shitty SNES game that had a shitty PlayStation 1 3D engine spliced onto it. I mean, it's really bad. I don't care what Penny Arcade says, this game fucking blows. I admit, I'm a bit biased because strategy games are not my favorite, but I would much rather play Super Robot Wars, Warcraft 3, FreeCiv, or the only strategy series I really like, Langrisser. Do not buy La Pucelle Tactics. It sucks. If you want sprites, buy something cool, like Metroid Zero Mission.
