Title: More Xenosaga (Review)
Post by: project86 on April 09, 2002, 06:40:59 AM
More information on the “game of the year”. I say that only because it happens to be one of my most anticipated games for this year. As I see it though the ratings thus far are not all that good. D*mn!

Oh well, I still want it!

I don\'t think the bad parts outweigh the good parts.


I\'d be getting it anyway they review it.  The only good review, is the one made by yourself.

This game and Wild Arms 3 are two games that I WILL get-- no matter the reviews!!

Since I\'ve played WA 1 and 2, and also Xenogears, playing the sequel/prequels on my PS2 will be like visiting an old friend. Even if that friend has gained 300lbs and smells funny, he\'s still cool:)

Yes they are, and if you want to know more just do a search on the net. You won’t be disappointed when you see the graphics on these games.

ico is very good, but is not a rpg.



the best rpg ive played (ffx not out yet) is def ff7!!!! you will prob think it sucks at first, but after 3 hours, the story sucks you in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im currently enjoying shadow hearts...seems good so far, but only 4 odd hours in!!! believe me give them a chance and you will get hooked

Hey kopking, how are the graphics and game play of Shadow Hearts. I was thinking about picking that one up this week or so and was wondering how well it plays.

xengamers is a sorry 4th rate website.. if anybody even read the review you would have noticed they said it was 10 hours long including movies. You have to be incredibly gullible to belive that

Me? Gullible? Naaahh.

I just thought that since it we the first review I have seen on the game I would let you all in on the low-down. I guess we won’t really know until it’s in our hands though will we?

Believe me, the movies(in game cut scenes) alone are about 10 hours worth.  There ain\'t no way you could complete the game in 10 hours on your first time around.  The second time around, it might be possible if you skipped all the movies, and specially cuz you\'ll know what you\'re doing.

But on an afterthought, the game did seem a little short, and kinda left me hangin and wanting for more, but that purdy much leaves me wanting to buy the second one when it comes out, so its a good marketing idea, I suppose.

To all of you who seem to be bent on disputing this thread:

Do all of the wonderful people in this forum and myself  a favor and FIND SOME MORE LINKS!
If you have a link to another review of this awesome game then post it here for all to see.

Thank you and God bless.;) :D

Dear Project86,

I\'m not exactly bent on disputing this thread or anything, just giving in my own thoughts and opinions of the game after having played it, completed it, and having played it again.  And if its more different reviews that you would like to see, here are two which I have posted way earlier in this forum, which you may not have read.  They are my first and second impressions of the game.  I hope that you read both, and see where my thoughts on this game come from.

The story is quite lame, I\'m at the end of the game, have been for weeks now, I just don\'t see any reason to end it.  Nothin\' is compelling me to finish.

Thanks for the information man, I appreciate it. Your help only makes me want the game even more.;)

And Trog, thanks to you too for your thoughts on Shadow Hearts. I might just pick it up while I wait for MOH and Xenosaga (to name a couple).;)
