For those of you out there looking for a true RPG look no further than Lost Odyssey. If you're the type of gamer that was in love with the traditional RPG's and then fell in love with the RPG era that evolved around Final Fantasy 7 then this is the game you've spent years waiting for. The graphic detail in this game is stunning but that won't be the part that has you entrenched in the game. The story for this game never ceases to pull you in deeper and deeper with each scene that passes. After the first few dreams you unlock you'll start to feel that ache in your throat every time you see that he has recalled a new memory. Even though this part of the game is just text it's obvious that the writer was reading his script from the very soul of an RPG lover. You will never feel that this game is lacking as before any cut scene can become too long it finds a way to pull you in or involve you directly.

Now for the casual RPG player that's not really as into this genre of games, you might not find this a 10. This may also go for those that have waited hoping RPGs would evolve into something else. However, for those that have been craving a classic style RPG with all the goodies of the modern consoles this game is easily the "Final Fantasy 7 of the xbox 360. There are load times, but nothing that will have you getting out of your seat while you wait. There are beautiful effects, but none that feel as though "It was nice the first 10 times but now I am sick of it". Every once in a while you will be able to pull yourself from the story and the details of each characters personality to take a look at the game play and graphics. When you do you won't be let down there either as the variable elements added to combat from crafted enhancements are enough to keep you focused on every attack while the relaxed nature of the combat system allows room for bathroom breaks after hours of non-stop gaming.

In closing for any RPG fan that owns an Xbox 360, this one is a must have in your library.
