Rating:9.5
Nothing short of sad is the fact that this beautiful, engrossing game has been passed up by many a potential fan.
Make no mistake, Xenogears suffers from shortcomings that were inevitable, given the hardware limitations and lack of funds. Even given that, the game still remains to this day one of the most engaging masterpieces of RP... Read Full Review

After playing this for the first time, I must say that despite it's age, I was completely blown away. BEST STORY EVER!
Story: Not many games are capable of exploring concepts like the origin of life, yet Xenogears does this in a way that is both satisfying and intelligent. The story starts out slowly and in a somewhat typical fashion... Read Full Review

The best J-RPG game ever made alongside FFVII.
It is curious that people know the Xenosaga games but not Xenogears. I could compare them saying that "God created Xenogears, and men created Xenosaga". Why do I say this is the best j-rpg ever made? Because it is, pl... Read Full Review

If perfection had a name...it would be Xenogears.
I've played this game twice now and just finished my second run through. I noticed that someone recently gave this game a 1.0 and decided I had to add my two cents. I bought Xenogears when it was released, and my love... Read Full Review

Not as deep as it pretends to be. Unintentionally cheesy, and padded full of clunky, unnecessary dialog.
A story heavy RPG that is packed full of redundant dialog, most of it meaningless to the story itself. Anything that does relate to the story is bogged down with self important foreshadowing, and slow text speed. The s... Read Full Review
