Frustrating and boring.

User Rating: 6 | Riviera: Yakusoku no Chi PSP
Pros: Music well done, voice-over on all cutscenes, and descent story.

Cons: Bland graphics, repetitive gameplay, unclear explanation on mechanics/puzzles.

After playing Riviera for a few hours I was still confuse on the mechanics of the game. The explanations are vague and I had to figure some of it out on my own. Also the text on item info is so small you have to look really close at screen to read numbers and text (example hp points and stats).
The graphics were bland with not much detail. Alot of areas have the same backdrop.
The characters are interesting, each having their own reasons for joing the party. I found their personalities charming and actually smile at some of Lina whimiscal remarks. Your replies during cutscenes affects each party member mood toward you that supposely changes the ending (Did not finish game only read about it).
Overall, the storyline and voice-acting is descent and I enjoy several of the musical pieces in the game but do not recommend the game.
