 Not for hard core gamers October 12, 2008
I though this game would be alot of fun when i bought it as it has the whole Dragon Ball thing going on, and it being an RPG (my fav type of game) but sadly i was wrong, the only thing i found good about this game was the grafics.
I started to play, and played for about 2 hours and though its has to get better, no way can this game be this boring all the way through. So i gave it a few more hours and found that i just wasn't having fun at all.
This game is boring, Simpley put. Maybe its because im 23 i dont no, Maybe this game is more for the youger geniration that is easly entertained by poor game play and fights that are so easy that it makes you want to scream.
Now this is just my opinion, i have read some of the other reviews on this game and they seemed to like it, but then again they are alot younger than me.
I say rent this game first if you must play it, Also its really seems to me that hard core and older gamers wouldn't injoy this baced on what i experienced. I thought it was a waste of money and i want the 8-9 hours of my life back after playing it playing it.
I hope some of you dont see this as a rude/harsh review, im just trying to be honest :),but if someone asked me to describe this game in one word, that word would be "Boring".
Piece out!! xD
 This is better than I thought it would be September 29, 2008
Finished and thoroughly enjoyed. It is a little dark in places on default mode, but, changing the brightness settings in the settings menu on the game dealt with that. The graphics are not the best I have seen, but they're far from the worst so no complaints. All the chests and items that are available to collect are fairly easily visible and exploring the area and talking to people reaps rewards, as in most rpgs. The battle system is very like the old Final Fantasy games, turn based and simple to understand, and items and spells can all be equipped in the same way as in those games. I think anyone who loved FFs 7-9 will like this. I wasn't going to buy it based on some of the reviews on here, but I'm glad I did. I think it's a smashing game, a little bit repetitive in places and the having to go back round getting chests that were initially blocked off is a bit of a pain, but it's a solid RPG with endearing characters and a good story line. I loved the characters in it and I am a 47 year old woman. Superb game. One of the best I have ever played.
 Sadly addicted..... September 4, 2008
As a 32 year old professional female who previously detested all games consoles and so called computer based 'fun' I have become tragically addicted to this game.
After much nagging from my boyfriend I bought him an X box 360 as a gift, and it came with a copy of blue dragon. After complaining about how loud the music was one day, I sat down for a few moments to watch the 'game play'. I am now completely addicted. Having never really played any other computer games before (apart from Dizzy on my brother ZX Spectrum aged 11) I have found Blue Dragon to be completely brilliant and utterly addictive. As I have the co-ordination of an inebriated blind wombat and can't stand any game that requires you to hammer away on the controller like a woodpecker on amphetimine I found the 'RPG' turn taking format easy to learn and play. I also enjoy the fact that you continuously progress within the game, and there is none of this tedious dying and going back the the beginning business.
All the other reviews that positively rate this game cover all other more 'gaming' aspects (graphics, characters etc) and I fully endorse them, it all seems great to me (much better than Dizzy anyway). If you are an X box 360 widow and are fed up of watching him play Halo I cannot recommend this game enough.
My boyfriend is now my husband and doing the washing up. I am about to go and tackle hour number 39 of Blue Dragon, bring it on........
 Didn't change my mind about JRPGs August 7, 2008
I must admit i don't tend to like turn based fighting - although i did go through a phase of playing Fire Emblem. But i thought i'd give this game a try as i was impressed it was on three discs!. Sadly i only played it for an hour or so and already have remembered that i really dont like turn based fighting! but its not fair to mark the game down on that basis because i knew that before i played it. The things i didnt like about it have already been mentioned:
The saving - i can't STAND games where you can only save at certain points. Why oh why?? its just frustrating thinking shall i keep playing to get to a save point or do i just cut my losses and switch the 360 off because im so bored.
The characters arent great and yes Shu continually saying 'I wont give up!' does annoy somewhat!.
I would say its an average game but you do need to be well into JPRG's to enjoy. I'm going back to Mass Effect and Bioshock myself.
 Not a must Buy April 21, 2008
In my opinion THE most annoying thing about this game is Shu always shouting "i won't give up"Its just so cheesey and cringing I wish someone would just say to him 'who asked you if you are going to give up?The main plot is alright but I lost intrest after a while.The graphics were very good but the voice acting was TERRIBLE.I don't think it is worthy of the good reviews it has been getting
