    Worse than Final Fantasy 2.

    the biggest flaw of FFXIII, is that it takes about 10 hours before you get sucked into this game....

    I have to say, this game was a huge disappointment for me.
    As a stand-alone RPG, it was alright. Above average even. But it definitely is not on par with its FF predecessors. Makes me sad.

    People are complaining about the combat system but its incredibly well programmed, time saving and intuitive. I'm 15 hours in and although I do agree its linearity and customization is limited; but, on the bright side perhaps this enabled resources for a longer story than perhaps otherwise? People have been cringing about certain characters- I agree but just about all past final fantasy had these elements just in a different visage.

    This game is awesome, maybe the people have complains about the lineal, however i'm an adult gamer, i don't have ten hours available to play per day, so a "Linear RPG" is perfect to me because i hate waste my time walking around of open world. So this game is beautiful, has an epic history, a quick system fight. If you wants an open world with 200 hours walking just go to get Skyrim and shut up! FFXIII: 9.0

    I got a Xbox360 for Christmas and I got this game for $10.00 new and it's far from a bad game.It looks awesome and it may be linear and not open world but I'm really liking it.

    What is the song in the begging of the review it sounds nice. However why did they play it way to often. Someone please tell me the rest of the music dosen't suck.

    I only have a laptop to play games on but I'm getting a console(undecided on which one) for Christmas and I'm dying to play this.I don't care if it's not a open as other FF games.

    Personally loved the game. I think it would have been way better if the villains got more screen time/justice, most of them got the shaft this time around which was disappointing. Overall still a great game.

    LOL, I think it's hilarious that Kevin dumps on Vanille so much, because he interviews her VA later and is all "you did great, blah blah *lying*"

    amazing game my favorite ending in a final fantasy game. still not as good as final fantasy 10 in my opinion but really enjoyed it 8.5 maybe a 9 for me. the only thing i hated about this game is that it ended cant wait for part 2=)

    I would like to know who are these people thumbing down all positive comments. The game has got a players score of 8.4 here in GS. 8.2 in Metacritic. Dear haters, just deal with it: you are a small minority. Go back and play CoD.

    Man I bought this game yesterday and after playing it for many hours I can say that this is one of most boring games I have ever played. I mean the story and game linearity is a different thing I am simply hating the combat. the enemies are standing in front of us but still every 5 secs we have to go into battle mode. Just simply kills the whole flow. I loved Ff12, played it over many times but this game is such a let down. game looks beautiful but man thats it. yawn. I will finish it just for the heck of it. if you are a FF fan, please dont buy this game. Sadly next part also has the same combat system. yawn.

    I'm a big FF fan. I have been playing this game for 30 hours now and let me tell you, in some point, i just stopped playing.. the game is so linear and boring, the story didn't kept me interested, i still plan to finish the game just because i don't want this to be a total waste of money.
