Star Ocean: The Last Hope for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Star Ocean takes an nontraditional approach at RPG style gaming. There are a lot of unique elements to this game. I'd list them, but IGN's review on youtube does a much better job of this than I could.

This game is presented well. The story line is pretty generic, but it's captivating nonetheless. The characters are lovable. The environments are absolutely breath taking. The leveling up system is done very well; base attributes increase with each level gained, and additional points are rewarded that can be accumulated and spent on special in-battle (or outside-battle) skills.

I simply could not get enough of this game. Mini bosses, optional dungeons, item creation, battle trophies, everything. There are four difficulty settings, and I've beaten it on each one save the easiest.

This may not be my favorite RPG, but I commend it greatly.

If you've never played a Star Ocean game before, this one will probably ruin the others for you, seeing as the game has been improved upon in every conceivable aspect.

I lost interest in this game after about a weeks worth of playing. This game is more cut scenes then game which can be cool. The story is better then most action jrpgs but it's still follows the whiney heros journy template a little too close to be fully engaging in my opinion. The combat starts off interesting but your party gets too powerfull too quickly and soon the combat turns into a boring slog through the same and the same. The graphics are very beautifull. I think this is a very good game but I personaly don't have the patients to wait through cutscene after cutscene.
