User Rating: 9 | Final Fantasy XIII X360
When I first heard that Final Fantasy XIII was coming to the 360, I was quite happy. The reason being because I didn't have to go out and buy a Playstation 3 for only one game. As the game was closer to release date, I started to get worried that this was game was going to end up like XII, which I did not enjoy and ranks in one of my worst games of all time. I picked up the game the first day it came out and here are my results on it.

When I started up the game, I could tell that the music in this game was going to be very enjoyable, as the composer for it was the same as SaGa Frontier 2 (which I also enjoyed very much). The gameplay in this game is excellent, it is a new formula to the already amazing ATB (Active Time Battle) system and I hope to see it in future titles. The graphics are really good, I know that they aren't as Playstation 3, but really, the graphics are not the most important thing in a game. The story is actually quite decent, not the best in the series, but better than some. The only thing I have a problem with is no NPC talk and towns, but if you pay attention to the plot, you can tell why there is none of this. Overall, if your a huge Final Fantasy fan like myself, I would pick this up, but if your new to the series, I would pick up a older Final Fantasy (X or VIII).

UPDATE: The game does get harder once you get to Disc 3, but for the most part, this is where the games gets quite fun. The reason being is because the area you explore on this disc are HUGE! There are also numerous side missions to do, which are fun. The only suckish part is that you may have to grind some to level up here, but to me, it feels like old FF this way.
