bit-tech Shopping: Square Enix Infinite Undiscovery (XB360)

Rating: 6

Time with product:

Strengths: lots of playable characters, real-time combat

Weaknesses: ok story, framerate, short?

Summary: Infinite Undiscovery is not a bad game, but there are better RPG?s out there. Being able to play as a bunch of different characters makes the game very unique. The real-time combat is fast paced and fun as well. The graphics look nice most of the time, but there are times when the backgrounds look plain. The framerate also slows down pretty bad too. The story is OK, but I expected more from Square Enix. The game is shorter than most RPG out there, but I not taking away points for that. With so many games out, I don?t have the time to put in 70+ hours into any game. Being able to beat the game and experience the story in a reasonable amount of time is fine with me.

Strengths: Interesting setting. Good gameplay.

Weaknesses: Little slow to start. Not long by JRPG Standards. Not Special.

Summary: IU Is a good game. It has a nice setting and interesting story. The graphics, while not bad, aren't FF extravagant. Combat is solid. But it's just an average game, not great.First, it's kinda short, for a JRPG. That's a good and bad thing. Some JRPG's play 60-80 hours, which can be crazy. This is more like 20ish to 30, which isn't bad, but not super long. The first few hours are kinda basic, and not very exciting. I would recommend this more as a rental.

Strengths: great story, gameplay and nice character customization and creation of items

Weaknesses: bad lip synchronization in some cut scenes

Summary: This games is a great action rpg from the developers who brought Valkyrie Profile to life and Star Ocean series. This game has great character creation items also a great story development. The gameplay of the game is an free moving environment with excecutable combos and special abilities by the press of certain buttons at a certain timing, the game also has situation action which you can perform during certain events of the story. I recommend this game to those RPG lovers and fans of the Tri-ace developers franchise.
