I don't get the Eternal Sonata hate, what's wrong with the game? It's probably one of the best ones on my list. I'll just add that I'm not a huge JRPG guy, so that's why I place more credit on ease of use over complexity.

I also agree with Disolitude, everythings based around a persons taste in games and some people may not share those tastes, but that's why I specifically mention that most of the titles should be bought at a lower price, rented or at least be demoed before purchase. Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect, GTA IV and Super Smash Bros. Brawl are horrible games, but I'm sure that many people will disagree.


Honestly, I LOVE Chopin (I'm a pianist), and the premise of Eternal Sonata is cool, but the game itself is awful. The art style is cool, but the quality of it is last-gen. The story itself is weak, and certain characters are completely useless/annoying. The regular game is too easy, and the story sucks too much to be worth playign through again on hard mode. And the combat system is abyssmal. Once you get Viola, the whole thing is trivial, and pretty much no matter what you fight, you end up doing the same things over and over. There is no strategy required for this turn-based strategy rpg.
