I need to make a confession, i only bought this game because my girlfriend recommended it , probably thanks to the fancy box art.

but its become a guilty pleasure, i find my self going back to it time and time again .................... " just to the next save point maybe the next one , maybe the next one"

graphics are ok , character design is a bit childish , areas are sometimes quite bland. there is a massive range of enemies and bosses are all quite diverse.

overall the gameplay is ok ,nothing every other RPG hasn't already done , same old tried and tested formula , its not broken so it doesn't need fixed.

sound is good , but repetative , "I WONT GIVE UP" and the awesome but sickening boss battle synth rock

and finally the story is actually good , seeing the next cut scene is what keeps me playing .

i would recommend this for fans of JRPG's , maybe rent first if your not sure
