Great game, you'll either like it or you are gonna hate it.
User Rating: 8.5 | Trusty Bell: Chopin no Yume X360
For those who enjoy RPG's of all kinds, I recommend having it in your collection, however I detest the idea of this game coming out on the 360, the Xbox360 is for military and shooting games or just action, I'm sorry but the Xbox360 is no place for an RPG like this, it should have came out for the Wii, although it is coming out for the PS3 which would have probably been a more likely home to have began with. As for the game itself, the graphics are great, the art direction is whimsical, inspirational, for me personally, the graphics are soothing for my eyes compared to intense stuff like Gears of War or Halo 3 and Bioshock, so if you have sensitive eyesight like me, buy it. What is also awesome is the soundtrack, one of the best I have heard. As for the story, I like the idea of using Chopin as the main character and some of his real songs in the game, plus we get an idea of what might have been going on inside his mind hours before he died thus making the story very interesting. The combat system however is very new and revolutionary, I think its a great idea to make it both turn based and active time, however the characters screaming out the name of their special attack and magic gets annoying, plus some of the cut scenes are a tad too long. All in all, if you enjoy playing RPG's often, its nice to have in your collection, but if you don't enjoy RPG's regularly, stay away from it.
