Just curious if the few people who have SO agree with the score of 7.5 given to it by GS. I usually agree with game reviews, but not this one. I don't think it's a 10, but i'd say mid-8 to a 9 tops. I agree that the dialog is cheesy at times and the character models and lighting are strange but, I guess I was expecting this already since these are all JRPG "traits". Also I can see how people are turned off by lengthy cutscenes but I personally enjoy them. I like games with deep stories and characters. I would like a pause feature for the cutscenes though. The story is a bit cliche', that is getting old in games in general. Anyway, just wanted to share my opinion and see what other people think. This is not meant to bash GS or SO, so please no excessive negativity. Also, NO SPOILERS please. I haven't completed the game yet.

I beat the game in 35 hours Kay? and I would give this game a 5.0 out of 10 Kay? Bad ending, Edge didn't, you know what at the end, Kay? Camera sucks Kay? Could of been epic but what was shown was too drawn out Kay? And I hate how every situation every party member must say something Kay? Like I feel the warmth running through my metal body Kay?

I completely disagree with GS' review. I'd say its around a 8.5 game imo.

A 5? Wow. What is the problem with the camera? I read that in the review too. You move it with the right analog stick just like every other game. I guess you want an aerial view to see the other characters better?

nope 7.5 is totally harsh. First off the only bad voice actors so far is that girl lymiel kay. Second the camera angles arent the greatest but they certainly arent game killing. GS needs to do a better job at reviewing these games. ex Fallout 3 and oblivion get such high praises and those games arent even half as good as most JRPGS i no(fallout 3 fails as an rpg btw). and yet GS gives them 8.5 and 9.0 while the good rpgs are siting below them. This is totally BIASED!!!!

I stopped paying attention to GS reviews a long time ago. Especially their JRPG reviews. Don't let reviews stop you from enjoying good games.

I would like a pause feature for the cutscenes though.

You can pause the cutscenes. Just press the Dashboard button on your controller (that big green X in the middle) and I agree to disagree with the poor rating score SO:TLH got! I absolute love the SO series. It's a JRPG for cryin out loud, stop expecting everything to be so real. If you've seen any of their trailers before the gme was released you would already know how "doll-like" the characters looked. And for the guy who beat the game in 5 hours, GOOD FOR YOU, you've completely wasted your money cause you completely rushed through the game without even trying to do any of the real fun stuff.

Well Said! Thanks for the tip about the guide button too!
