A promising, if not long awaited, RPG that fell short.

User Rating: 6.5 | Blue Dragon X360
Blue dragon was the first decent RPG to hit the Xbox 3560 in a while. unfortunately, it failed to reach it's potential.

The graphics are actually pretty decent, done in an anime style. The music score, mostly the same repetitive J-rock tracks, would have been more effective without the lyrics. The magic/skill system could have been received a lot better if each of your characters couldn't gain every single skill class. It hurts the customization of your characters by leaving them too generic.

Aesthetics aside, the story was interesting and immersing, as any good RPG should be. Sadly, it utterly lacked any real side-quests and the dialogue was clearly aimed at younger gamers.

The anime-style graphics and the cool shadow characters will draw you into this game, but don't waste your time.
