Star Ocean: The Last Hope

hollitz's Star Ocean: The Last Hope (Xbox 360) review

Surprisingly Deep Game

Star Ocean TLH may have an interesting story.  I'm not sure because I stopped paying attention to it around halfway through.  The English dub work is without a doubt the most poorly acted mess this generation.  Probably last generation too.

That being said, the combat is engaging and the game is deep.  I've sunk over 170 hours into one playthrough at  this point, and there's still much to accomplish.  It may not be a great RPG, but it's definitely worth the price.

But one of the games i happened to rent, was in fact, Star Ocean: The Last Hope. Being bored out of my mind that week, I played the shit out of this game... for about 3 days, and was torturing/drowning myself in mixed reactions all the way up until a certain point, which I will get to...
