What Gamespot Users have to say about Star Ocean: The Last Hope
- Rating:7
A good combat system and interesting, albeit simple, item creation fail to compensate for uninspired plot and characters
When many people criticize the JRPG genre, their protestations are often directed at unengaging, turn-based combat, random encounters, and other such design aspects. Star Ocean: The Last Hope, offers the perspicacious pl... Read Full Review

A game that finally lives up to Squares Name
To be quite honest, I haven't been all too impressed with Square-Enix games lately. While infinite undiscovery was fun, it lacked in a lot of areas such as visuals, and length. Last Remnant had better visuals, but gamepl... Read Full Review

Square has delivered us a worthwhile RPG, and giving fans what they want.
Square Enix, a household name when it comes to RPGs. With hits like Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, and many others, it is no surprise that the latest entry in the Star Ocean series shines. Over four years have past since... Read Full Review

One of the greatest RPGs on the 360, you're missing out if you don't get this game.
So I've played through the first dungeon now, not that far into the game, but I have to say that it's amazing. I am a fan of the tales series so naturally this game appealed to me. So first, what I consider the bad. T... Read Full Review

Excellent Japanese Role Playing game - another home run for Square Enix. The Combat is fun, the story is great.
So, I'm giving this game a 9.5 but to qualify that, I need to say it's 9.5 as long as you are a fan of the Genre' if your not, if your a main stream FPS or regular RPG playing gamer then the score would have to be 7.5 is... Read Full Review

#1 JRPG of 2009!!! This game was well worth all the years of anticipation!
25 hours in I still can't put the controller down. The story line is great and sucks you right in and it being the prequel to the series new players and hardcore fans can enjoy it all the same. The graphics are amazing... Read Full Review

Another masterpiece from Square Enix and Tri-Ace.
I picked up a copy of SO: The Last Hope on release day and I wasn't disappointed. I suppose I could go on about the game synopsis and all that good stuff, but Gamespot has already provided that, so there's really no nee... Read Full Review
