Level 5's PS3-exclusive role-playing game White Knight Chronicles debuts today in the US, while awaits a late February release.

Coming from the award-winning developers at Japanese studio Level 5, the game is among a select group of anticipated 2010 RPGs. It's been some time since the release of a PS3-exclusive at that, which makes White Knight Chronicles all the more noteworthy.

Much attention has been given to the game for its similarities to favourite Dark Cloud. Town reconstruction via the Georama system is featured in White Knight Chronicles much as it was in the Dark Cloud series.

While it hasn't yet proved a success in the West, a sequel has already been announced based on solid in Japan.

While it's hard to argue against that, it's difficult to have much faith in an indeterminate release date.
