Lost Odyssey (Xbox 360)

I still remember my first experience of a Japanese RPG, the year was 1997, I was 10 and Final Fantasy 7 was released. Called round to a friends house for a few games, we stumbled upon what would be an absolute revolution in both my gaming experience and everyone else's. Everything about the game was fresh and new, the story was engrossing, the battle system addictive. It was as close to gaming perfection as a game can get. Years down the line, the Japanese RPG has wore thin, only a handful have been realised in the current generation of consoles, and those than have, have generally been used as coasters. But in comes Lost Odyssey, does it re-invent the JRPG? Does it ...  Read the complete review

I remember first hearing about this game and thinking to myself that it would just be another really bad RPG game. Being a major Final Fantasy fan, I heard that this game was created by the people who made the Final Fantasy series. This immediately got my attention. Seeing as when this was released, Playstation 3's were extremely expensive and because of this, I ended up buying an Xbox 360. I knew that Xbox 360 does not have many RPG's out, like the Final Fantasy series. I looked into this game with more detail and found out that it was very similar to Final Fantasy. When it came out I bought it straight away. I must say, I am so glad I bought this game. This ...  Read the complete review

Being a mad raving Final Fantasy fan, I was a little sceptical about buying this. However, the graphics and music soon won me over and I am now exceptionally gratefully that I did buy it; I love it! The introduction alone will blow you away; the graphics are absolutely stunning. The attention to detail even in gameplay is amazing; the ability to zoom in on things whilst running around towns enhances this. I found myself spending a few minutes in every new location zooming in just so I could look at all the beautiful scenery. Squeenix have done a mind-blowing job on making this game look absolutely gorgeous! However, the best part is that they've ...  Read the complete review

Lost Odyssey is a RPG game made by the same people behind Final Fantasy. If you like your role playing games, then this is a decent one. It follows the story of Kaim, an immortal man who has lived 1000 years and whose memory has been erased. As the game progresses you learn with him about his past and his "Lost Odyssey". The story starts on the battlefield where you are quickly introduced to the battle technique. As an avid Final Fantasy follower, I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the battle format. The improvements come in the form of characters being limited in some abilities but excelling in others (depending on what you equip them with) as well as ...  Read the complete review

Im quite lost with this game to be honest. Its fun to play, but it can get boring at times. The fighting is the same as Final Fantasy (made by the same guy), but way to much walking around. The puzzles can be quite intense at times. The fighting is the best part in my opinion, but then again aint all fighting?. I also found the "dreams" quite boring, and would just skip through them. And the game is kinda flawed, he is ment to be Immortal, but you still have a health bar, and can die.... hrm. Should have just gone along with the theme that is will live forever, but can still die from death. You get it? On second thought, after reviewing this, dont buy it, your ...  Read the complete review
