Blue Dragon was a title i was really looking forward to being a massive fan of RPGs and knowing it was coming from a great team with a great track history of epic adventures. Unfortunately i was disappointed with the outcome, granted the game is stunning to look at and is epic in scale but it failed to impress me with its gameplay and structure. Perhaps it is targeted for the younger audience but i found it very easy to complete and quite boring in parts which i was quite surprised to find. Also unlocking all or most of the games achievements are quite impossible. Here is a basic outline of the games story, you control Shu and his friends ...  Read the complete review

What do you get when you mix the creator of Final Fantasy, the character designer of Dragon Ball and the music composer of Chrono Trigger? You get Blue Dragon, that's what. It might seem odd that there's even a Japanese RPG on the 360, simply because there are none. Now, Hironobu Sakaguchi (Final Fantasy creator), Akira Toriyama (character designer for Dragon Ball), Nobuo Uematsu (Music composer of Chrono Trigger) team up to answer the prayers of all JRPG fans who have been dying for one on the console. And boy, people have been anticipating this, including me! I have been watching this game since it was announced, waiting for the day I get a 360 and waiting for the day .  Read the complete review

== Blue Dragon == I first bought Blue Dragon for the Xbox 360 about a year and half ago and back then I gave it a try but wasn't really too impressed until a few days back. I thought I would have another go and ever since I have been playing it. Blue Dragon is a turned based RPG.

Blue Dragon is an Xbox 360 exclusive JRPG and has been developed by Mistwalker and Artoon and published by Microsoft Game Studios. The game was ...  Read the complete review

Well as there seems to be no plan of actually releasing a good final fantasy game on the xbox 360, the creators of final fantasy have tried to throw a substitute at us called Blue Dragon. Akira (draws dragon ball) has also put his hands in to draw the characters and also not to forget the famous composer of the beautiful finafl fantasy music, Nobuo Uematsu. With so many famous people coming in to create this 4 disc mega game, your gonna be in game heaven right?....maybe...... The graphics are what you can all basic and traditional, maybe its suppose to be like that to recreate the anime sort of feeling but come on.....these graphics are on a par with older ...  Read the complete review

Few games this console generation have worked up the kind of hype Blue Dragon for the Xbox 360 achieved , with many touting it to be the game that would finally sell the American games machine in Japan, based on the fact it was from the man behind the ridiculously successful Final Fantasy VII and featured characters designed by Akira Toriyama, the chap behind ridiculously successful comic/cartoon series Dragonball Z. Funnily enough, neither of these factors held much appeal for me, I quite enjoyed a bit of Dragonball Z back when I was younger (and watching it on holiday, in Spanish, completely unaware of what was going on) but I have an abhorrent hatred of ...  Read the complete review
