I wasn't gonna get this anyway so i'd be lying if I said I was dissappointed. I think most 360 owners feel the same way.

true this game is like blacksite area 51 to me it looks cool but its not in the least bit intersting to me.

[QUOTE="Shazenab"]Well I never expected xbox fans to like it, not that I ould have. JRPGs are horribly outdated compared to western ones, so hopefully "flopping" japans best (or in other words generic and the same) rpgs they'l actually TRY and innovate.REVOLUTIONfreak

Aside from Oblivion, I have yet to see a game that can even come close to competing with the likes of the Final Fantasy or Tales series.

exactly i mean western rpgs just like jrpgs rely on story to make the game good, jrpgs always get flack though because some people over here don't like games that aren't fast paced which is fine but you really shouldn't be reviewing a game that you know you are going to hate..

To review this game you must be a fan of the genre or you wouldn't like it. This game will get mixed reviews with JRPG fans loving it and the others hating it.Deihmos

exactly if you dont like jrpgs in general your gonna hate this game thats why a lot of Japanese sites liked the game

I wish titles like Stranglehold would get pushed to 08. There are just too many amazing titles coming out this year for anybody to care about this. It's a shame too because I played the demo and it's very fun.ganon546

problem is they aren't going to be able to compete with GTA or MGS4 either... damed if you damed if you dont...

it could defintly fail if it doesnt get the price down. I dont care if they pack the thing with 200gig, four game bundle its never going to sell well at $500 even if MGS4, FF13 and GT5 all come out on the same day. If Sony wants PS2 sales they need to take massive losses and get it to under $400 otherwise they aren't ever going to catch the 360.

bad move, too crowded of a month(i cant believe i am saying this its September) Heavenly Sword, Lair, Halo 3, Eternal sonata already makes the month crowded stranglehold isnt going to have much breathing room(pun intended)

[QUOTE="caz415"]u guys must be totally retarded. HS got a 7 from ONE website and its not even the real ign. that score doesnt even go on gamerankings or metacritic. ALl the other sites and magazines gave HS above a 9. I dout blue dragon got above a 9 anywhere. BioShockOwnz
