Grandia III

Worth the Wait.

This game had all the hype it needed. There wasn't any commercials or anything that made the game seem better then it is.

The first 5 hours spent playing this game I was blown away and how fun the battle system was. It's been a while since I played an EXTREMELY good square-enix game. Even though most people are buying this to pass time til' Kingdom Hearts II, this game really is worth buying. However, the game is very cutscene drivin' which so far, doesn't bother me at all. The cut-scenes are very well done with a great GRANDIA feeling.

It's games like this, that really make me wonder what else Square-enix can throw at us. It's going to get better and better each game.

Sadly the game only last about 30 hours...oer two discs...short indeed, but last about as long as the story is gonna' hold it. There are not any side-quests really or anything extra to unlock. Very straight-forward game, but that doesn't mean it won't hold your attention.
