Last week I discussed some of the broader points of Dark Cloud, but there is a ton going on with this game (and I spent too much time on it) for me not to do a second post. So lets get right to it. The first thing I commented on was the graphics and I don’t think I quite gave them enough credit. Yes, they are incredibly boring but they are very well done. There was a huge graphical jump between the N64/PS1/Saturn and the PS2/XBox/GameCube and it really shows here. Every thing is super clean and well animated. All of the areas look unique and feel lived in once you release all the residents. The dungeons are okay as well and fit their areas appropriately. I also have to give credit to the sound. There aren’t any grand, epic tracks but the minimalist sound design really fits here. Each track adds to its respective dungeon or town. The sound effects are okay too. The characters voices aren’t annoyin...
