Story (3/10)
In Defender of the Crown, you take control of a country and it becomes your objective to control the rest of the world (similar to Risk).
Gameplay (5/10)
There are many things you can do to fulfill your objective, such as jousting opposing knights, or simply attacking.
Although it is interesting at first, it soon becomes insanely difficult and not worth the frustration.
Graphics (3/10)
Adapted from an earlier game, the graphics were not updated and do not fit with the GBA's capabilities.
Durability (3/10)
Overall Score (3.8/10)
Rounded Score (4/10)
Final Thoughts:
An interesting game and an interesting concept. Those that like the game Risk will like it, but it is not for anybody else.
