Maybe you've already got the "defensive simulation" game for your iPhone, or maybe you don't. Either way, Crystal Defenders looks like one addictive game, and now you can score it for Live Arcade. It's essentially the same game, except: The Xbox LIVE Arcade for Xbox 360 version includes several improvements to the interface and a new design optimized for consoles. A worldwide ranking system allows players to upload their scores to leaderboards and see how they stack up against other players around the globe. These and other new features are sure to increase excitement and enhance replayability. Meanwhile, iPhone owners of the title can look forward to a significant update (free) in the coming weeks. Crystal Defenders is basically a simplified version of the Final Fantasy Tactics formula, and it even makes use of the same job classes and characters (nevermind that it's also set in the exact same world). Although it's also out for WiiWare in Japan, we haven't seen it here in the states yet on the Wii Shop Channel. Check out the attached screenshots for more information about the game, plus the full official game details...
