According to www.gamerankings.com :

Blue Dragon: 77%: I do not recommend anything below 80%, for there are too many other games over 80%, that could be purchased, or rented, instead.

Lost Odyssey: ---%: Not yet rated. This one lies unconfirmed.

Cry On: ???: Doesn't even exist in www.gamerankings.com. This one also lies unconfirmed.

Well, at least you narrowed it down to Lost Odyssey, and Cry On...

Why do you use reviews to base a game? Shouldn't you like it cause you like it, not because anyone else said it was trash. I hate when people bring up reviews about games. Certain people that review games. might not like that genre, probably wasn't in a good mood to review the game. And disliked it to just put down the system. Everyone knew Blue Dragon was the most awaited JRPG for the system and then reviewers disliked the game when it hit stores. And what I definetly hate is when reviewers preview a game and talk all good about it, but when the game releases they talk trash. Thats when I lost faith in reviewers telling me the good and the bad about games. Now I buy games base on what I like and if I think its trash let me buy the trashing games than. And since most of the reviews were negative to Blue Dragon than the game is trash. But its a trashing game going into my 360 and being spent 50 hours of my time on it.

Agreed, exspecially with jrpgs, NEVER go with average reviews, go with a very reliable source, some people really liked it (game informer, game pro) some did but wasnt "impressive" (ign) others didnt (gamespot just go away, i hate you after bioshock, this and metroid reviews)

 Never go off reviews with jrpgs, also i could bring up japans reviews of it and id bet they would be rather high
