Blue Dragon

Good traditional RPG.

Pros: Great music, solid graphics, addictive game play, nice controls, cool summonings.

Cons: Lag down in battles, been there done that storyline, lag time throughout game.

I enjoy playing through the game. One thing anyone will notice is there is repetitive lag times all through the game, especially in battle. Installing the CDs to the hard drive help some with the lag but not a whole lot. What stood out the most for me was the superb music. I found myself just sitting there listen to the music. The corpeal summonings were really cool to watch although you do not acquire them until Disc 3.
The characters had interesting background stories with fairly good voice acting (Shu sound like a woman with a deep voice).

Overall, this is a solid turn base RPG and I would recommend it for those who love this type of game.
