    Disappointing overrated turn-based RPG

    I was among many people awaiting the next great turn based RPG for the next generation consoles. This game is not it. The story is interesting enough, but very straight forward, and gives you absolutely no control of t... Read Full Review

    Simply stunning.

    Eternal Sonata can is viewed upon by many people like marmite; you either love it, or you hate it. Well personally I hate marmite, (nasty stuff) but I do, however, love this game. Graphically, this is one of the fines... Read Full Review

    A good RPG for the 360

    Not worth $60... but hell, it's still good.

    Graphics: 10/10 Sound: PERFECT 10! Controls: 10/10 Gameplay: So far, another 10! Overall: 10!!! The game is a splendid piece of work. I'm not much of a history-liking kind of guy, but this game is immersive! Fre... Read Full Review

    I like Eternal Sonata. The graphics are especially clear and vibrant with a wide range of colors used to paint the world you are in. I found myself doing a lot of stopping and appreciating certain areas of the game bec... Read Full Review

    A great battle system and story concept marred by slow pacing and trite dialogue

    When Eternal Sonata first started up in my 360, I was initially blown away by the look of it. As a big JRPG fan, It was wonderful to see close up shots of the detailed anime style characters. Soon afterwards, the basic p... Read Full Review
