It had me at hello, but lost me at the folow through.

User Rating: 4 | Trusty Bell: Chopin no Yume X360
First i'd like to say that i'm a pianist, and I mostly got this game because of the Chopin reference, and I loved this game's art
and music, along with it's immersing battle system. But in the last hour I wanted this game to self destruct leaving no trace of that disc left.

The games story was he definitely over used girl who's about to die
scenario that has plagued anime for who knows how long (and it didn't
help that Aya Hirano voiced said girl). The idea that you could lose yourself in a dream as you die and start questioning just what is real and whats a dream, and just which world should I live in?
This philosophy is the only thing that I liked in this game. The playable characters such as Viola and Claves were also overused stereotypes. As you can tell there was little I liked about this game, and to top this rant of a review off -spoilers- the game ends with Chopin saying that in death that a person can look at his true self
with no emotional, or other outside thing that might block your view.
He then attacks you currant party saying that if he wins he can be sure that this is all just a dream -end spoilers-.

So this game sucks because of the horrible ending (and the other things I mentioned) but the battle system is by far the only thing that makes this game worth even thinking about buying.
