GameVortex writes: "The touch-screen is available for use, but isn't necessary and certainly doesn't add a huge amount to the game. For my money, the benefit to playing on DS is having two screens, and Luminous Arc 2 uses both to full advantage. Navigating menus and selecting options in one screen keeps the other free from clutter, something that isn't possible on the PSP. Nothing about the menu system ever feels confusing, and an especially nice touch during dialogue is an Auto feature that plays through scenes without you having to press (A) each time a character speaks".
Nintendo Life writes: "The DS has seen some fantastic RPGs released this year, with Valkyrie Profile, Nostalgia and of course Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, and Luminous Arc II keeps the standard high with a quality Japanese RPG package that is sure to please anyone looking for a tactical fix."
In an interview with GameBrit, Tristram Defries of Rising Star Games has confirmed the publisher is thinking of introducing pre-order bonuses for titles in the UK. He also discusses sales of Little King's Story.
The irrepressible UK publisher Rising Star Games have revealed the release dates of the remaining titles on their 2010, including fantastically original games for both Nintendo DS and Wii. Including a number of titles from Rising Star Games' "The Home of Japanese Games" range, Rising Star Games are set to prove that, once again, they are one of the leading third-party publishers for traditional gaming on Nintendo consoles.
