    The Hallway

    The game is just not fun. Most of the time you aren't even playing the game. Seriously. Most of the time you are listening to the characters talk to each other or watching some kind of cinema scene. Cinema scenes are awesome, but when I put in a game I want to play it, not watch it the entire time. When you actually are playing the game, you only "control" one character, and by control I mean you select "auto combat" option every time it's your character's turn. The rest of the time you are listening to the characters bicker at each other which gets annoying really fast. I think the thing that completely sealed the deal for a one star rating was the fact that the entire game I played, which was somewhere around ten hours, was one very long hallway. No walking around expansive cities, or getting lost in monster infested dungeons. Nope, this entire game takes place in a long Hallway. Sometimes the hallway masquerades as a frozen lake, or a damaged railroad track, but it's just masquerading. This game is one long boring Hallway.

However, in the end, Final Fantasy XIII is a game which improves on many of the concepts from pre...

      Facing destiny 0

      I've had a long, affectionate relationship with the Final Fantasy series, and perhaps the main reason I've stuck with the series for so long is that it takes plenty of risks with reinventing itself whenever it can. Final Fantasy XIII continues this tradition, and produces many fresh, exciting moments on its own right. The unfortunate part, however, is that it takes its sweet time getting there, making it a pretty divisive experience that you'll probably come to either love or hate.First and fore...
