A new edition of the popular Japanese magazine Famitsu has hit the stores, and of course it contains some new reviews. They are actually very optimistic about DOA Xtreme 2 (9,9,8,9), which received average rates in Europe and US.
Also Lost Planet does really well (9,9,8,8) and they reviewed some other games as well, check it out. Nope, no Blue Dragon yet =(
I had it all wrong...Blue Dragon is awesome!
Lost Odyssey is one of the best jrpgs of that era but got killed because it was bought up and released on the "wrong" console.
Great game. The 360 had some really good turn based games back in the day. Absolutely loved Lost Odyssey too. I think they are both Sakaguchi creations.
This game together with Lost Odyssey, The Last Remenant and Tales of Vesperia convinced me to buy a 360. This game made my 2007 which ended off with mass effect.
Honestly, a fantastic game, especially if you were a fan of old-school JRPGs. I hate that this genre rarely can come back to these roots.
Destructoid: I remember where I was when Blue Dragon was announced. Although I already had an Xbox 360 and was ready for it, some folks I knew bought one just for it given who was involved (Nobuo Uematsu, Hironobu Sakaguchi, Akira Toriyama): as Mistwalker and Microsoft Game Studios made a mad dash to put out more games from Japanese studios on the Xbox ecosystem.
Blue dragon was fantastic. Love that game. It was my biggest reason for getting a 360.
i wanted to play it, but ...
1. its on xbox
and 2. i missed it when it was on gamepass ha.
I thought it was pretty good but I personally I think Lost Odyssey is better
Also, I know a lot of JRPGs are cheesy but damn…this one was amped up to 11.
I really wish Mistwalker would remaster these games... they're too busy with mobile unfortunately.
The Summer Game Fest 2023 revealed a new Akira Toriyama game called Sand Land, and it has more potential for greatness than a new Blue Dragon would.
Imma call bs on this. Sorry a blue dragon sequel would be dope and much needed. While this one I'm sitting here trying to figure out if I'm interested. I'm kinda stuck on vehicular action. That's where it's losing me.
Why can’t we just get both? In this gamer world of ours, it seems like it’s always one or the other. Games like these seem like they would print money for these development studios if they released multiplatform.
Its funny how DOA Xtreme 2 had decent reviews here but over seas it gets better reviews. In fact this game is 11th on the Japans list for most wanted! Just proves that the Japanese are perverts! ;) j/k
Seems that Zegapain got the best scores ................NOT !
for all MS fanboys remember this review the next you want to discredit them when they review a PS3 game with better then average scroes and all you are screaming bloody murder.
My point proven yet again - japanese gamers are retards.
if you accually play doax2 you'd find that it's a good volleyball game. Hard as hell and the spikes can get you everytime. The mini games are fun and the waveracerish game is true to Nintendo fashion (glad to see Team Ninja has a soft spot for em) the graphics while sure are about the ladies are really impressive even more realistic than gears of war. Very solid Volleyball Sim.
