    This game is really cool. If you like Final Fantasy this is like it but pure action and its for X Box. The only downs are some of the camera angles.

    The camera is pretty bad, but you adjust and get used to it. The enemies are a bit repetitive, but the situations you're tossed into aren't. The graphics and production values are top notch. The main character is a bit of a girly man, but not as bad as Tidus or Raiden.

    I think this game looks amazing. the only thing holding it back from a ten, is the camera angles and how short the game is.

    Repetitve gameplay, a bad camera, and mediocre graphics combine and make for an unexciting game. Although there are definately worse games out there.

    Beautiful and challenging... A twisting, turning plot tops off the meal and this Sea, simply, demands to be bathed in. [Feb/Mar 2003, p.82]

    The control system is a bitch, partly because the storyline is fairly boring and partly because there isn't much innovation.

    If can forgive a few bad camera angles, and a shoddy sniper mode, than you will derive great pleasure from this game.
