In all honesty, I really hope it does fair better for other people, as if you can play this game without the slowdown, it's borderline perfect **A gorgeous, original game with a story that draws you in. If Odin Sphere could be summed up using only the positive points, the game would be outstanding. Sadly, the cost the graphics and story com...
