Can't be made much better!
Graphics:
Simply amazing. As said in the official review, it looks next gen on a standard def tv.
Sound:
The guy who does Final Fantasy's music lent Odin Sphere a helping hand. Enough said. The voice acting is brilliant. I sometimes just turn on the game to watch all the cut scenes like a movie.
Difficulty:
Hard ... and not hard in that it's frustrating, but hard in that you are going to die, it's just a matter of where.
Game play:
Once again, top notch. I'd probably rather have seen long linear stages instead of the grid of circles that they have in the game currently, but this is just a minor nitpick. Be honest with yourself, 2D is a lot more fun than 3D.
All in all, the only downside I see here is the occasional slowdown. Other than that, why have you not gotten this game yet?
