Console Monster: Star Ocean: The Last Hope Review

Console Monster writes: "Opening with somewhat of an Eastern flourish, Star Ocean - The Last Hope most definitely stays true to its J-RPG heritage and credentials by dishing up a beautifully apocalyptic FMV to set up the space-age story; placing you in a time where the world has met its nuclear destruction and the entire race of humanity is pointing its greedy, pecking beak towards the stars.

With its face rammed in the radioactive, brown and dusty rear end of nuclear holocaust, humanity manages what has not been achieved for centuries and unites under one banner, the Greater United Nations (GUN for those of you who have difficulty with illusive abbreviations) in aid of jettisoning the seeds of the human race starward to start afresh, somewhere in the vast blank canvas of space. And that's where the game plants your sorry behind, in a large metal construct winging its way into the unknown through a warp tunnel. What could be safer, right?..." (Star Ocean IV, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, Xbox 360) 69/100
