Not very good at all
Got it the day after I completed Eternal sonata which, to be fair to Blue dragon may have been a little unfair as Eternal sonata is just such a beatifully crafted game the game which followed was always going to have a tough time. My "review" is more of a comparison between the two games seeing as I love Eternal sonata it, already, doesnt look good for Blue dragon.
OK so the Blue Dragon characters look - in a word, crap. Since the very beginning I had absolutely no affinity with them and their silly painted on eyes. Unlike the main character in ES who was most definintely a fox, knee length white socks and clogs have never looked so good before or since. Infact, thinking about it, all the girl characters in that game could give me a semi even the priate bird with only one good hand ( barring the two young ones of course - I dont want the FBI knocking on my door ) Compared with the Blue dragon girl who in all honesty, if I am taking my comparison down the pervy route, would be like shagging a badly constructed lego statue.
Answer me this - what is the point of the characters at all? All they do is stand there while these dragons come out of their arses and do all the fighting for them. Why not just get rid of the block little unlikeable characters and just have the big dragon tings?
No, I'm not going to spend any more time reviewing it, BD has had enough of my life as its going to get.
All I'd say is that I got to the first boss and decided that I just wasn't enjoying it so back in the box it went and there it'll stay, I paid £6 for it 2nd hand and still feel like I was robbed.
Compared to ES's beautiful graphics sound track, characters, story etc this game is as good as a bad case of the clap.
I know there are other reviews on here which rave about this game but I have never felt badly enough about any game to write a bad review...until now. I also have played all the Final Fantasy games since 7 own a stupidly large nerdy collection of anime which I feel gives me the right to comment on JRPGS and my comment to BD is suck my salty balls.
I?? kiss my behind, Gamespot - I'm sorry I ever doubted you.
