Best story, worst disk 2

User Rating: 9.5 | Xenogears: Elyhaym Van Houten Edition (Square Millennium Collection) PS
By Tsuska | Review Date:
Xenogears is highly ambitious and a wonderful game with a rather disappointing sequel. With one of the top stories any game could have every released, the drama of love and the conflict between different people and the unexpected yet expected turn of events.

Xenogears excelled greatly in main character development. Your main character is the top main character you could ever have in a game (Cloud in ffvii was a bit of a...wierdo but still great). Not to ruin the story, but a very wonderful anime styled character which definitely caught my attention.

Now everything from graphics, sounds and gameplay was great and almost the god of all RPGs. (mainly because of the story). But where the game fell was disk2. An almost perfect game, was brought down as if the game was suddenly cut in half. (severed from the head). Disk 2 left an incomplete sensation. It wasn't really a game...it was horrible. All that was left was the story.

Disk 1 on the other hand was extremely good =P....

However, this game is still a must play game for all the rpg and story lovers. With great RPG gameplay, decent graphics, decent sound this game is almost the best. But with the let down of disk 2...it failed where it could have conquered.

If only the games now-a-days had such a wonderful storyline.
