I avoided the word simple because I didn't want to put anyone off of the game thinking that it wasn't worth a play. I really like it, and think it's definitely worth checking out.

I'm alternating Jeanne and D&D Tactics in the PSP, and the inability to attack on diagonals in Jeanne is a definite annoyance. I don't know how many times I've switched games and lined up a move only to end up in a position to attack on diagonal! Arrgh!

I'd read a preview before release, and was looking forward to it. Imagine my surprise to see it on the shelves, the release indeed lost under Bioshock's cloak. Jeanne D'arc is quite good I'm enjoying it alot. The complexity is below the recent PS2 entries in the SRPG genre, but not easy either. Gamespot's review suggested there was some fluctuating production values, but I've been impressed the whole way through so far. I picked up Jeanne D’arc a couple days ago.

UW Madison is way ahead of us on this. But then, about 20 other schools are ahead of them. But it is sad how one big release can dwarf the competition. This is especially bad at Christmas time. @Captain Justice Sadly, games don't teach people the correct spelling of "Mengela" or "Manchurian" or I'd recommend Brain Age to you - seems like you're doing fine without it though, nice use of applied knowledge from history AND film in your examples.

The GF forum has a fair number of threads/messages. Not great, but, the hardcore players, at least, seem to have found the game.
