Dungeons & Dragons Tactics Hands-on Preview

Game Informer has put together a two-page preview of Dungeons & Dragons Tactics, based on some firsthand time they were able to spend with the ambitious PSP RPG.
While the menus did their best to suck the fun out of the experience, we can't complain about D&D Tactics' general presentation. The graphics are sharp and clear, with great lighting effects. Torches and Light spells cut through the gloom, illuminating the immediate surroundings with a nifty effect. Character models are good, too, with appropriately animated enemies. Zombies shuffle along as you might expect, and goblins bounce happily to their doom. Though it is turn-based, the combat sequences are engaging, with characters side-stepping attacks and bludgeoning opponents with seemingly heavy weapons.
