Blue Dragon (Xbox 360)

Hironubu Sakaguchi, creator of the Final Fantasy series. Akira Toriyama, designer of the Dragonball animes and Dragon Quest games.

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

This game was good for the first disc. Then after the second it was starting to get a bit boring and i just really didn't have the willpower to start the THIRD DISC! This game is ridiculousy long however if you enjoy games that take about a year to complete then by all means purchase this game. The graphics were not bad nor good and the birdseye view really didnt help that. The animations within the fights aren't brilliant either but then again the game doesn't really look like it is designed for the pro gamer. This game is probablky brilliant for kids to play for a long time and would be ideal for parents to buy if they want their kids to be quiet for a little while. In ...  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
