Dark Cloud released in North America

[05.30.01] » Light hearted, town-building, dungeon romp "not a killer at all," assures SCEA spokesperson.

   Sony's first-party action RPG Dark Cloud shipped to stores today. While the game has been labelled Sony's "Zelda-killer" by the ever-creative press, the game's mix of random dungeons, multiple playable characters, and Actraiser-like town building should ensure Dark Cloud its own identity.

   Dark Cloud should arrive in stores on Wednesday at a retail price of $49.99. Look for a full review from the GIA soon.
