Xenoblade: Chronicles for Wii Reviews by Gamers

This game might just be an all-around winner. I am not too easy to impress, but the game's story and setting is so unique that the game could be praised just for those.

Graphics are so pretty and ingenious at the same time...all without not compromising the pace of the game. The developers really paid attention to the small things, such as the effects of the weeds/plants, or the clouds/sky. The environment changes from day to night and vice versa, and the music has its own changes with the time of the day. Field of vision goes on forever it seems, and the character/monster design is well made, with shadows to boot.

Gameplay is very unique to say the least. You can travel in groups of three, and you get special bonuses if your party builds their friendships with one another. Also, depending on who you have in your party, they will talk to each other differently--making a more personable game. Environments are immense an as far as foot travel is concerned. Combat has unique combinations of tactics that can range from pinching a monster to KO'ing it instantly--so you have to use your brain to progress in many instances in the game. Add that with infinite armor and weapon customisation with accessory decorating for special skills, and you have a recipe for a fairly addictive game.

Music is symphony-quality! +1! Great music score.

With the graphics + music, I just have to say that some of the places in this game are so ethereal that it would be award-winning. Eryth Sea daytime to nighttime? Are you kidding me? I don't think I've seen an environment more beautiful.

The only contests I have to the game is two things: Side quests, because they are too tedious and way too many. Also, the voice emotions. The sad/angry voices lack emotion; seeing how much work the developers did in everything else, they could have taken it up a notch in the voice department.

Either way, you need to get this game if you haven't already! You won't be disappointed!
