one word about this game. OVERHYPED. actually one word cant describe it. ill try to fit it in a sentence. this game is all flash no substance, boring, mmorpg style, typical xbox, easy, repetitve. im serious the sites overrated this game hardcore. i no longer trust ign because to me it seems as though they are being paid off or they are xbox fanboys. this game is flash and no substance ok this is a demo of the first fight you encounter. punch punch punch punch now repeat for the next 20+ hours of this game. its that crappy. you do get spells and new fighting styles but you might as well go out, buy a million dollars worth of beer and drain it on the front lawn cuz its that damn useless. the fights are so easy and i can beat bosses with 2 fingers. all u need is 1 melee attack and the dodge button and you're set im not exaggerating at all. ill repeat this again all flash and no substance. the first boss fight consisted of me attacking. dodging backwards, running up and attacking and repeat. thats all you need to do FOR EVERY FIGHT IN THE DAMN GAME. if you have played fable, star wars, baldurs gate or any of the other crappy rpgs on xbox this is nothing new. if you buy this game be prepared to feel regret for dishing out 50 and brace yourself for about 15 hours of boredom. i seriously hated rpgs like this that feel like mmorpg pc games. i had forgotten about that hate and rented this game cuz it looked decent, and this game reminded me why i hate them. graphics dont make up anything on a game if the game sucks in general. dont buy this piece of crap and save yourself the time. i know i dont give many good reviews but i usually only review games if it amazes me with its crappiness. 6/10 dont waste your time on this. F all the other reviews. edit: i forgot to mention dont get this game unless you like computer games. i hate computer games. this game is like old republic/fable/dungeon siege/neverwinter nights/morrowind/baldurs gate. and yes i hated them all |

needless to say, you better have played the game, cause your review of Paper pario was 1 word. Bull. so if we find out that you havent even played the game, should we say you wont be able to post in either review section. We want honest reviews not utter bullcrap. While you say you rented it, I'm prone to believe that you were saying that in hopes of getting people to believe you. On the other hand, if it really is that bad, well, thanks for the warning.
I dunno, but if you thought Knights of the Old Republci was crap, you seriously have no taste in RPG's. Fable i'll admit did dissapoint me in its length, but baulder's gate was good. |

i dont know who you are to assume that i havent played my games. if you ask anybody that knows me they know that i dont review beforei have beaten or gotten near the end of a game. ive gotten 11 hours into jade empire and i beat paper mario, what kind of gamer do u think i am how are you going to find out i havent played the game? it would be impossible even if u were able to read minds because ive played everything. every review i give is what i thought of the game and if i thought it sucked then ill say so. and i dont get who you are referring to by "we." some or most of the people on this board know me and they know i play my games QUOTE fable, star wars, baldurs gate or any of the other crappy rpgs on xbox ^yes ive played em and yes i hate them^ I dunno, but if you thought Knights of the Old Republci was crap, you seriously have no taste in RPG's. Fable i'll admit did dissapoint me in its length, but baulder's gate was good. ^you are going to tell me that i have no taste in rpgs if i thought old republic was bad? lets all bow down to old republic and kiss its feet cuz there isnt a single person in the world who doesnt like this game. not everyone follows what you like cuz if they did they would have sold 6.2 billion copies of old republic. guess what, they didnt. i hate old republic, id rather burn 10$ than buy this game. the games by bioware and microsoft shouldnt even be considered real rpgs. they all feel like computer ported mmorpgs that dont belong on a system. all the star wars games ive played felt jus like the ones i played on the computer and i dont like that. i want quality in my games, not crap. thats not the only reason i hate old republic. i hate star wars. i hate everyone that made that movie and i hate everyone that acted in that movie. |

yea i highly agree wit Eugene, Old Republic was a piece of crap... iz one of those games for fanboys/starwars fan/etc... I mean i hate Old Republic and the star wars crap but does that make me have bad taste in RPGs??? I mean i've played: Chrono Trigger All the Final Fantasys but 11 Shadow Hearts 1 and 2 Tales of Destiny 1 and 2 Tales of Symphonia Brave Fencer Musahi Samurai Legend Musashi Phantasy Stars Beyond Oasis Alundra Parasite Eve 1 and 2 Star Ocean 2 and Till The End of Time Phantom Brave Disgaea La Pucelle and plenty more but forgot them titles... and those games are highly better than Old Republic, Fable, and prolly Jade Empire... and i do wanna question how you gonna know if Eugene did play ne games??? iz realli hard to decide... |

yo mog, if you beat paper mario, then how come you didn't happen tp play through an area that is required to beat the game? Larry mentioned to me that the glit pit is a required area, no way you could have beaten the game without playin through there. |

Larry mentioned to me that the glit pit is a required area, no way you could have beaten the game without playin through there. the glitz pit is the arena in glitzville where you have to work your way up the ranks and fight rawk hawk for the championships. this place was boring as hell and the only thing that kept me going was for a chance to fight rawk. but then it turns out hes nothing but a push over and the real last boss is a fat turtle that has a star. i thought larry meant the pit of trials the pit of trials is not a requirement to beat the game the pit of trials is a secret dungeon in the game and it is the games hardest area. kinda like sphere 211 in star ocean. i didnt even waste my time on this. |
