<blockquote>It's not easy to pull of an enthralling turn-based title, waiting for enemy movement can be the most painstaking process if it's done badly. Paradise Cracked partially suffers from this problem, there can be long wait times between moves, even if you do tweak the settings to only show certain character/enemy movements on each level. The levels are not too large but even so, with each character only having a certain amount of movement before having to whack the 'next turn' button it can take some time to get around the game. Perhaps the ability to only switch to turn-based during key elements such as combat could have improved the gameplay.</blockquote>

Putting the entire game in turn-based does seem like an odd design choice.

For an RPG it sure does, and this is what a lot of people are calling it. However, I was under the impression that it was kind of like a strategy game with RPG eleements. But a lot of people seem to say it close to a RPG then anything else, which really does make you wonder why they chose TB all the time. I guess if its more like AoW, HoMM, or Civillization then you expect TB all the time but not for a CRPG.
