Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Another good Square title.. with a few exceptions.
Square has done it again. This is another great title with beautiful graphics and smooth gameplay. The few minor catches is that the main character is not the most exciting person. He starts off as a whiny nearly useless bard. If you can get past his personality early on the game pays off.
Combat is similar to many Action RPG's with the ability to pair up with one of the other party members and use one of thier 2 special abilities. In addition you can build a second or third party that will travel with the main party but you have no control over thier actions.
The game has a system for item crafting that is usefull but alot like a standard MMO and promises some grinding to master the best gear or food in the game.
If your a fan of Square this is a title to grab. Try to get the 'pre-order' download card that comes with the game to enable better items to be available eariler in the game. Also X-Box Live offers several cheap/free add-ons that add more items to the game.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - voice over sucks
i like everything about this game, but the voice over actors. it's the reason i don't watch dubbed anime. there is no option to have japanese voices and subtitles like some games.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - An incredibly disappointing, highly generic mess of a JRPG.
I was personally hyping this game for the high A to low AA range. I was expecting an JRPG that carried with it the tradition of an engrossing story with beautiful senery, but also broke away from the norm with its revolutionary combat. What I got was a JRPG so generic that it was actually worse than average RPGs in the genre and its so called revolutionary combat sstem was so dull, simple, and easily broken that it just felt like a huge waste of time.

Visually, the game looks like an HD PS2 game with some enhanced textures here and there, some weak light and shadow work, a good draw distance, and a huge amount of shine, because apparently to make a proper JRPG these days everything must be shiny. It basically looks on par with Ninety-Nine Nights but with way less characters on screen, and to be honest, NNN's combat was much more entertaining despite being a hack n' slash. At least the combat looks really cool when you watch it, too bad it doesn't play that way.

The soundwork is nothing special. The soundtrack is pretty typical of JRPGs, epic and done with a symphony. It kicks in harder when you're in combat. That's good for the most part but it can get annoying when you're entering combat to kill one or two enemies. It's like having someone follow you with a cello and having them go nuts with it every time you step on a crack in the sidewalk. The voice acting is appreciated, but they did a pretty lousy job with it. Everything that comes out of these people's mouths is so corny and so badly written that it embarrasses me to play this game in public. On top of that, there's a ton of cut scenes where the characters talk, their mouths move and everything, but no sound comes out through the entire scene! That's just downright lazy.

The plot is incredibly horrible. On the box description it seemed fine, passable. Once you start playing though, and live through the plot, you realize how ridiculously stupid it is. You end up not caring about any of the characters at all because they're all annoying and unlikable. The game is pretty easy and never really offered me any challenge. The combat is so shallow and boring that I feel like I'm just zoning out and pressing X and B at times. The game really struggled to keep me interested. You can control your teammates and tell them what to do, but luckily the AI is good enough that they can handle themselves most of the time. The only real redeeming qualities to this game is that it isn't a glitchy mess, you get to ride a big red bear thing into battle, and it ends.

I was bitterly disappointed this time. Square Enix and Tri-Ace Really let me down, and I think I 've lost any respect I may have had left for Square Enix. I'll stick to MIstwalker for my JRPGs now, thank you very much.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Another typical cheese Japanese RPG
When you first put this game in the 360, it will force you to connect and download an update from XBOX Live. This is only a one time download. This update is not for the extra content or bonus feature. It is a mandatory update. Without this update, you won't be able to play this game.

Overall, this is just another JRPG features annoying screaming casts and cheesy dialog. It is no where near other JRPG such as Dragon Quest VIII or FFX or even FFXII. However, it is somewhat better than Blue Dragon and Enchanted Arms, in my opinion. The game is short, not many side quests. The story is nothing special; go from one place to the next to cut down the chains. Kind of repetitive.

If you want to know what happens to all of the characters after the final boss, you must spend 5-10 minutes watching the credits and special thanking to some special people...Then a short film kicks in showing what each party member is doing after the final boss fight. Kind of interesting except the final, final scene showing Aya and her bear. Not making much sense but you have to watch the 5 minutes credit rolling at the end to find out. I won't spoil it.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Infinate Discovery RPG
This is a pretty good Game and Has some new inovative Ideas for the Gameplay. Though the cut scenes are a bit long and sometimes the voice acting cuts out for no reason the game's story line is what helps drive you to continue in this game. The great thing about this game is the ability to make Two and some times Three partys which will act on there own and will succeed based on the groups you made. The connection system is extremly cool as well it alows you to do things such as talk to animals to mind controling enemys its great. The game it self is relativly short Take you about 15-20hrs game play depending on your Skill level. The great thing about IU is the replay value is high and has 3 diffrent dificulty settings. Easy, Hard, and Infinate mode. A big aspect to the replay is a Tower that has Insane loot and bosses harder and more health then the final boss in the game. I wont spoil anything but lets just say it brings a challenge to a relativly simple RPG. I give this game a 8.5 Out of 10
