Odin Sphere makes up for its several perfomance shortcomings with its breathtaking artwork and compelling storyline.

User Rating: 9.5 | Odin Sphere PS2
Though the game's performance and game play is lethally weak in some areas of the game, the player is just committed to continue on the story once you have started to immerse yourself in it. Its unique way of unfolding the story with timelines of the 5 characters that are somehow intertwined with each other simultaneously. Game play weakness include the inventory management system( which is quite messed up), slow downs (in certain maps) and unnecessary loading times(wasting time just to move from one map to another). However they can be forgiven with the many other strong areas of the game itself.
