A game packed with inspiring and flawless design. The world is a huge open environment to explore, with a large variety of creatures and enemies. You're treated with new and exciting concepts at every stage of the game and a joyful compulsion to press on to the next area just to see what will be unveiled next.

The plot is original and intriguing and will drive you throughout the adventure. This is in no small part thanks to a strong cast of characters, each one is fleshed out and adds to the story, fulfilling their archetypical roll to a high standard. The cool characters are cool, the friendships are heartfelt and believable and the villains are multilayered, interesting and complex.

The awesome battle system is real time, fast paced and packed with complex strategy. New and innovative ideas and a wealth of customisation options available to each character make tweaking and perfecting your party become a compulsion. Experimenting with your new party set up is helped with the wealth of side quests available.

The quests start out simple and are streamlined meaning once the criteria has been fulfilled they complete automatically. As you progress they become more fleshed out revealing more about each area of the world and their inhabitants and providing better rewards for the truly dedicated.


Xenoblade Chronicles is ultimately a game that has utilised the Wii hardware to its fullest, the game goes beyond the flawless incorporation of existing ideas by bringing an abundance of new and innovative ones that fit the game perfectly and add genuine depth and value.
