I bought this game expecing it to be worse then it was... It just seemed like another ff12 type dont get me wrong that worked but i just thought this wouldnt. The story sounded stupid in the trailor about the giant chains and stuff but hey. So i bought this and started playing on it. I expected the start like all rpg's to be the most downside and thank god it was because the start was horrible. You have this thing chasing after you wether or not your unsure to fight it becuase the cut scenes are not very good and detailed. It seemed like it was a tad rushed at first i thgouth something was wrong with my disk because on the cut scenes some have voice and some dont :s its a bit like riiiggghht... Im not going to sit here and be a nonse about this game because after you get past the crappy start you really start getting into it. When you start fighting proplery and really understanding what the hell to do it starts getting fun. And as horrible as the chains in the ground are its… more »

When you start fighting proplery and really understanding what the hell to do it starts getting fun. And as horrible as the chains in the ground are its actually a prety decent story line when you finally nail into where your going.

All and all i wouldnt give this 5 stars. Theres bad points about any game pretty much. I think what gives this 4 is the battle system after you work it out. Its an awesome system. The graphics is what you would expect ... A tad rushed but still pretty decent people moaning about graphics is a tad biased because lost oddesy was about the same... Ish . But all and all i give it 4 because it grips people not alot of rpgs can do that at the moment. They tend to last like 5 hours and then bang you put it down and forget but if your going to want an rpg which you want to sit down for 20 - 30 hours then go for it because i think its a gripping game with a deep storyline and great battle system (after you get into it obviously) you just ahve to have the time and effort to sit there and work it out. :-)

Firstly the graphics are amazin dunno what the others are talking about :/
Gameplay is pretty straight foreward with the real time combat but never gets old unlike eternat sonata, i gave up after a few hours. I have to admit the heal commands pretty annoying sometimes because your other party members ai isnt the best.
Great bosses good fights theres quite a few that took me a few trys. The maze style maps were pretty frustrating for me but if you put in a good shift ull get through it ^_^
Maps were very engaging rather than a straight walk though wich was good in that it gave you soem work but at teh sime time annoying because you just want to contune to the next stage.

The story and characters are in all honesty my favourite of any rpg title ive played so far i found the story really sucked me in and had me itching to play more to see how the characters were going to develop.
Oh and as an afterthought equipable weapons almost all have their own model which… more »

Oh and as an afterthought equipable weapons almost all have their own model which i liked.

So to sum up AMAZING story and characters decent gameplay and interesing maps with what i believe to be overall very nice graphics.
This game is a must if you own a 360 in my opinion especially if you enjoy rpgs.
