Lost Odyssey is one of the best turn based role playing games in a long time.
This game had the potential to be a 10 but the only gripe I have in my book is the loading times. They can get somewhat annoying but are bearable especially considering what the game has to offer. I am throughly enjoying this game and would defiantly recommend it to any rpg lover out there. The xbox 360 needed some good rpgs added to it's game library and this is defiantely the perfect addition.
The graphics are amazing, the sound is amazing and the voice overs are good compared to many other games. It's good to see them actually trying with English voice overs. Of course you can always switch to the Japanese voice overs, or one of the other 5+ languages supported. I'd have to say this game does everything right as far as actual game play goes. To get a good idea of what the game plays like think Final Fantasy X with Final Fantasy IX's skill system. A perfect combination in my book.
It is very easy to get immersed in the game and lose track of time, that is one of the hallmarks of a good game. The little memories that come back to the main character add a good amount of immersion as well. These stories don't necessarily add to the main story but they are a nice side note that helps bring life to the game.
Overall I would recommend that everyone from rpg lovers to those interested in the genre should pick this up and give it a try. If your not hooked in the first hour check for a pulse!
