    Stunning visuals and sounds. The only question is whether you are willing to sit down and play the game, with its continuously redundant nature.

    The battles soon result in simplistic tat-for-tat assaults using the boosted special attacks whilst the tactical differences between various sections is questionable.

    The game is fun to watch (and that's mostly what you'll be doing) for a couple of hours, but beyond that the repetitive pre-scripted cut-scenes and ease of play will leave you bored.

    It seems as if the story actually is more important than the game.

    An excellent game ... if you like games with a low replay value.

    Sadly, the controls in the Battle screen are totally counterintuitive, making it a slow, tedious chore to command your units.
