You gonna have to enter their site to read the review-.

But here is a small thing written from it.


Uppers
- Beautiful, dreamy visuals. Looks like warm milk
- Sounds like a classic FF game
- Finely balanced gameplay
- Huge challenge spread over three DVDs
- Downloadable items due in the coming months

Downers
- Not out in the UK just yet
- Not even announced for the UK yet

oh ps!

Blue Dragon runs in 1080p (if you have the pricey kit), but even in 720p (the not-quite-so-pricey kit we' re playing on) it looks good enough to give our retinas an anatomy-defying orgasm.

" Blue Dragon' s pedigree - Toriyama' s artwork, Sakaguchi' s design, and music from Nobuo Uematsu (aka Final Fantasy soundtrack composer extraordinaire) - is almost tangible. The game reeks of class."

" Blue Dragon finds the perfect balance between linearity and excessive freedom - it doesn' t embarrass you by holding your hand, and yet it doesn' t just leave you alone crying in the supermarket. Hironobu Sakaguchi (the FF creator and Blue Dragon mastermind) is as good a parent as Shigeru Miyamoto. "

I told you guys beofre they used 1080p cgi which made the game take 3 dvd disc.

BD is one of the first games basically to use 1080p for 360.

Been listening to the soundtrack today.. very cool. Cant wait for the game to hit the UK next year.

I' ll probably get it for the music alone.

Nobuo lost it a loooooong time ago.

Actually, he didn' t.

Seriously, this is going to be over 3 discs? I know that happened back in the day, but was there even any multiple disc games for PS2 or Xbox?

And do you even need 3 discs when a game the size of Oblivion is on one? Or is because of all the CG cut-scenes?

Or is because of all the CG cut-scenes?

Y~up!

They COULD have used the actual in-game engine more, considering most people can' t tell the differences between when the game is moving and when it' s a rendered cinema.

But you lose some of the punch in scenes when the characters are staring into space and hardly blinking

Umm... So is the in game graphics good or bad? ' Cause that didn' t sound good.

No, I meant that you can' t expect a static ' sprite' animation to ' emote' unless you give it the animations to do so.

That might mean lots of redundant animations coded into the sprite animation, so a fully rendered cutscene is chosen.
