Lost Odyssey is a great new installment of a classic genre

User Rating: 9 | Lost Odyssey X360
So, I had an extra sixty bucks left over from christmas so I decided to get a game and it came to Lost Odyssey or Devil May Cry 4, both are games that don't usually attract me. I decided to get Lost Odyssey because the graphics looked great and since I never played any of the Devil May Cry games. I was a little worried that the game would bore me but it didn't and the story is really appealing with plany of twists and turns. The characters were clearly well thought out and the sound in the game is unsurpassable. Some of the annoying things are the failure to lable Inns, shops, etc. It's not a big problem but it is convenient to have these things labeled. The load times can be annoying especially when you wait and then realize you are in the wrong area and then you have to wait longer for it to load once again. Those flaws aside it is an amazing game. The story is long but it is not too drawn out it is just that there is so much to tell that it takes a while. The combat is pretty fun but it can be frusturating. The voice-acting is great and the game really gives a classic rpg vibe. All in all, this is a great game that may not be the most original but it is very fun and the lack of originality is made up for in numerous ways.
