great game. only thing i wished about it was, it lasted a little longer.

GU's pretty much your simulated MMORPG game, you have a set character Haseo who starts out at level 133 and then. because of some incident goes all the way back to level 1 because of his friend who went into a coma, as was last saga's starting plokt. its up to the player to figure out why did such a mystery occur at all. graphically the game is a lot much like recent ps2 rps like tales of the abyss and radiata stories. cell shading which is pretty good i must say. the story is somewhat a darker tone which in my opinion is much welcomed. it shouldnt take you long to finish the game's main story, roughly around 15 to 20 hours or so. but if you even do the sidequests it will probably take you another 10 hours tops.

music wise i really liked the desktop main theme. gameplay wise it really is fun to play and battles are something to look forward to. the level cap here is 50, which means you got to wait until next volume to level up after that. GU should pretty much keep your time, but not as long as a full length rpg, regardless this is one rpg that fans of the series nor hardcore fanatics should miss.
