Closing Comments
Final Fantasy XIII is a great JRPG and sports a fast-paced, challenging, satisfying battle system. The game also boasts an intricate story, a likeable cast of characters and the best visuals in the series yet (of course).

But hardcore Final Fantasy fans might be disappointed by the game's abandonment of franchise traditions like open worlds, town exploration and complex mini-games. The game is still worth buying, but it doesn't quite feel as complete as its well-loved predecessors.

Great score :)

Interestingly enough they made it a point to seperate the reviews, changed the graphics score on the 360 one but kept the same overall score. It's my opinion that they have not completed the 360 version of the game.

I think it was a .5 difference on graphics.



Just want to play good games

Waiting in line for it right now. Great score, I can't wait to get it. Why the hell did I decide to wait in line wearing only pj's? It's cold as hell out here.

Great score from IGN. Enjoyed their review. I was expecting the 360 version to be like the Bayonetta reviews but it didn't :|.
