Wired: 6/10 [not sure if they're still accepted by Metacritic]
http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2010/03/final-fantasy-xiii-review/
The fact that Final Fantasy designers are so willing to experiment is a good thing, because it’ll keep the genre from dying off. But Final Fantasy XIII should be considered a failed experiment. We can only hope it’s a stumble on the path to a brighter RPG future.
WIRED Beautiful graphics and music, lavish movie sequences, unique battle system.
TIRED Takes way too long to ramp up, boring level design, monotonous pacing.
