Ni no Kuni is one of the best JRPGs to come out in years. Fans shouldn't miss this.
The Good: Beautiful art and animation, engaging story and characters to the very end, rewarding battle system, real-time combat is a nice change, tons of familiars to catch and level up, a lot of side quests to keep you ... Read Full Review

Unfortunately, the beautiful scenery, musical score, and character designs don't make up for glaring mechanical flaws.
I went in expecting a lot from Ni No Kuni. It was on my radar for many years since it was first announced as a DS title and later was remade for the PS3. I thought this game would be a contender for the 2013's game of th... Read Full Review

A decent attempt to revitalize a faltering genre.
As a JRPG fans, it's sad how few good games are coming to our shores nowadays. So we have to take whatever comes. Fortunately Ni No Kuni is probably the best JRPG on PS3, although that's not saying much. Presentation:... Read Full Review

Ni No Kuni, despite its slow start, is one of the best, if not the best, take on the old JRPG formula this generation.
There is a unique, characteristic art style with a Studio Ghibli animated film that shows it was produced by Hayao Miyazaki and his legendary motion picture studio. What is even more impressive is that this art style emb... Read Full Review

Consider me Spirited Away
Story: In typical Miyazaki fashion, this game has an incredibly good story. It is based off of an anime, which may not appeal to everyone, but the story is emotionally riveting in the sense that it tugs at your heartstri... Read Full Review

If you own a PlayStation 3, there is no excuse for not owning Ni No Kuni.
If you've lost faith in JRPG's of recent, prepare to become a believer again. Developer Level 5 and Namco Bandai, along with some stunning animation by Studio Ghibli, have teamed up to give us one of the most memorable r... Read Full Review

Soul-Suckingly Delightful.
When I first picked up Ni No Kuni I had very little experience with JRPGs, and I didn't really like it. It is evident from the beginning that the story is going to be great, but the gameplay was really just not my style.... Read Full Review

There is a lot going for this game, but it has a few key missing pieces that I just can't forgive it for.
Ni No Kuni has some great backing. I mean, seriously, Level 5 and Studio Ghibli? That's a major powerhouse team. And for the most part they deliver, but not quite. Pretty much everything in the presentation is grea... Read Full Review

Recommend for Fantasy RPG fans.
Pros: Bright colorful graphics, fun combat system, well orchestrated music, and entertaining animated cutscenes. Cons: Voice over overacted, boring/repetitive side quests, and music scores limited. I happen to see... Read Full Review

With flavors of Pokemon, Studio Ghibli & old school JRPGs, Ni No Kuni is a very fine meal indeed.
Ni No Kuni is like playing a Studio Ghibli movie. Y'know, Studio Ghibli? Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle, and perhaps most pertinent to this game, Spirited Away. The game credits Studio Ghibli with its animation,... Read Full Review
