GFB: Nier for Xbox 360 Review
Joey Aires writes: "The role-playing genre is packed with some of the most die-hard and impossible to please fans this side of a Star Trek of movie. Just like those sci-fi diehards, RPG fans want things the way they want them and that’s it. They don’t like the formulas they love to be messed with, but as a developer or publisher you better damn well make sure you innovate. You just can’t innovate too much or else you’ll mess things up. If this sounds like an unwinnable situation for companies, it almost is. You’re seriously in a “damned if you, damned if you don’t” position. Despite the pitfalls that face change, Square Enix has attempted to walk the tight-rope of RPG innovation with the new action-RPG Nier with the help of developer Cavia."
