Very Good

Great Game, very long...

This was a great game, although very long. It's very much like the FF series, long and frequent cut scenes, turn based battle, complex story line- the works. Graphics were excellent, and I didn't notice too many bugs- screen would freeze for a second every once in a while but never locked up on me. I would say the only drawback I saw to this game was that it was a little too long, I probably put more time into this than any other game I've played- except Oblivion, which I still play... Granted, I like to complete all the side quests and explore everywhere but after a week of exploring, I just wanted to end it. It didn't help I was lost in 1 dungeon for about 8 hours, but when I finally got out I was just about invincible. I didn't keep track of the total hours played but I had the game about a month total, usually playing for 2-3 hours each night. All in all it was a great game with a very interesting story to keep you occupied.....

Good but slow and hard

I would have rated this game higher. It has excellent graphics, a decent story line, and engaging game play. Unfortunately, a few things drop it down: You have to sit through extremely long cut scenes, the build up before fighting drags on forever, and load times are slow. All in all, it's a typical Japanese RPG ala Final Fantasy, but not as good. It's complex turn-based fighting system is not easy to learn. Also, you'd better learn quick because the first two boss fights can be difficult and frustrating. If you're not adept at this type of gaming you'll find yourself playing boss fights over and over before you can progress in the game. Some may enjoy this, but I don't.

Cool game

This game is pretty cool and very unique. The story line to me is a little sappy but it plays out nicely as you get into the game. This is very long game compared to other games. You get to know the characters verry well. Its also Kind of cool that they spilt the screne when the characters are talking in cutscenes. Lost ODyssey is a turn based game with active role to it too. You will never find yourself bored because every battle plays out differently. This game can get annoying when the bosses keep beating you but its one of the best RPGs. Good characters, Good storyline, Good game.
