| ZenfoldorVGI said: Yes, for a SRPG, imo, it was an epic under-taking. Huge battles excellently balanced, and very time consuming, yet rewarding for every second you put into the game. The story is also excellent, though it doesn't pick up till later in the game(by that time, most reviewers had quite playing). Absolutely fantastic. 9.5/10, just slightly better than GTAIV, MGS4, Bioshock, and SMG. I'd say RE4 beat it last generation, and Elite Beat Agents might succeed in a tie. Otherwise, yes, it's a magnificant game and every SRPG fan is completely remiss for not playing this. It's worth 300 dollars plus tax, imo. |
Bolded - I agree completely. It felt great finaly pass certain levels without losing any characters (btw, is it at all possible to not lose any characters in the final battle? I've tried, but it seemed impossible)
Underlined - I disagree with this statement. I did not find the story, nor the characters, to be engaging or interesting at all. I thought PoR did a much better job in this area and is one of the reasons I was slightly disappointed in this game and does not rank aong my favourite SRPG's. That being said, I absolutely loved this game and remains my favourite game so far this generation. I'm hoping that'll change this month with Disgaea 3 or in November with Valkyria Chronicles.
