Blue Dragon

Not too bad

User Rating: 6.5 | Blue Dragon X360

Though I am not quick to condemn the game as Gamespot has, I do have to point out that this is indeed your run of the mill RPG. There is ZERO deviation from the norm of RPG's in this game and since the last RPG I played on the 360 was Enchanted Arms. I do have to say that this is one of the BETTER RPG's for the system.

I was also expecting something better from old Squaresoft veterans, but maybe I was expecting TOO MUCH. These were the guys that gave us Final Fantasy's and Chrono Trigger. Sure a collaboration between them again will bear fruit but sadly it was just average.

I love the story and I love dialogue. Though the game spans 3 discs its a bit of an overkill I am willing to overlook. I love the artwork of Akira Toriyama, but even then it simply was not enough.

If you feel that you played Blue Dragon before in some incarnation you probably have... The game is good, but its easily forgotten once you play anything else.
