    Creativity and charm are hindered by old tropes and issues, providing something of a flat but enjoyable experience.

    It's a stunning game to look at but even for a JRPG nut such as myself, it lacks any real passion.

    Although Drakerider is a nice effort, far too much of the experience feels uninspired.

    A competent but ridiculously overpriced JRPG with too many old ideas and not enough substance or excitement.
