Personal review

A Sci-Fi RPG from Nintendo and Enix? That should be a great game I supposed. Well, it turns out to be quite average. It does feature nice character images and an interesting story, but inbetween the constant typical random turn-based battles with a much too high encounter rate got me pretty bored. Instead of a nice overworld map you fly through boring space and the travel time between stars is filled with said random encounters. Boosters will help later on with traveling huge distances but traveling did stay the negative point of the game. Besides the standard space travel you visit several planets which contain underground tunnels that you can fly through in side-view perspective, often to beat a boss or collect an important item. The same random encounter battles as in space are present there.
