They had FF13 at my local library, so I reserved a copy for the PS3. Just picked it up today and played for an hours. The intro was so beautiful and mesmerizing that couldn't wait to dive into this game. The graphics are some of the best I've ever seen.
Boy, did this game sure suck for the hour I played. The battles are so boring-- especially the auto-battle button. I felt like I was watching the game more than playing it. The paths were so linear.
After playing Mass Effect 2, which is the king of non-linear RPGs, I just couldn't force myself to play FFXIII. It is a shame. I have played other turn-based RPGs such as Phantasy Star that were quite fun. I had never played a FF game before so I was really looking forward to it, but I couldn't get into this game so I'm going to take it back to the library.
The only other Square Enix game I've played was Kingdom Hearts, and that was so much more fun than FFXIII.
Most anticipated games of 2011:
Uncharted 3,Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Rocksmith
Modern Warfare 3, Super Mario 3D
