Eternal Sonata = Awsome

User Rating: 9 | Trusty Bell: Chopin no Yume X360
Role Playing Games, also known has RPG's have been lacking on the Microsoft Xbox 360 untill now. Lately we've been stuck with only Oblivion and the recently released of Blue Dragon for the top runners on the RPG Market for the 360, now Eternal Sonata will take that place! This game will break new limits for the system and bring forth more games of this genre instead of the over-populated First Person Shooters we've been getting lately.

Eternal Sonata takes us back in the 1800's with Fredric Chopin, a revered pianist from the romance era. The game explaines to us how Chopins life was. why he created the songs he did, and also the final hours on his death bed. This game is a deffinite buy for all fans of Role Playing Games or just Chopin in general. The game is also a Real Time instead of the traditional Turn Based rpgs like Final Fantasy and so on.

STORY 10/10
The story is basicly about several differnt people fighting for the same cause. Some are fighting to make a differnce before they pass away while others are fighting to save their very own home. The story is just really amazing and original that you'll just want to play the game to see what will happen next! So that's why I gave it a 10/10!

GAMEPLAY 10/10
Fighting is never boring, though it can be a tad bit repetitive, but it's better than all the 1st Person Shooter titles we've been getting on the 360! Awsome fighting engine where it takes both from Turn Based and Action! Also another neat thing is that you can block attacks while not in turn yourself. Also as the story advances, the differnt party levels you gain, six being the highest, adds differnt aspects to the fights which is always awsome! So that is why I gave it a 10/10!

GRAPHICS 9/9
The characters are all cell-shaded which is pretty, the worlds are beutiful, though there are some what sketchy animations but their very hard to tell really but who cares aout them anyways! The game itself looks as if it were drawn by the worlds greatest and also most creative artists out there from the perfect blend of colors. A fantatstic change from the recent games coming out for the system. That is why I gave the Graphics a 9/9

SOUNDS 10/10
The sounds is one of the more beautiful and memorable parts of the game; the great music by Chopin performed by Stanislav! The great gameplay, fighting, and the music makes one beautiful adventure into the world of Enternal Sonata!

AVERAGE 9/10
This a must have game for any rpg gamer or even a fan of Chopins music, I love basicly everything about the game and I'm still hooked to the game. The originality, the beautiful music of Chopin, the breath taking graphics, and also one of the best rpgs on the 360 has of right now. So go out and buy it already!
