Eternal Sonata ( PS3 )

Everyone knows there has been a big lack of Japanese RPGs for the PS3 since it's launch. Well, Namco Bandai has re-released its first Xbox 360 JRPG For the PS3 with additional content, but is it worth it if you owned the 360 version?

The Graphics

The graphics are very good for the genre. The color palette is wide and it really seems as though the world is LIVING, the exact opposite of a lot of games this generation ( sadly ). The character models are great and the same goes for the details in the environment. Two letdowns : You can't rotate the camera, which would have permitted the players to see the beautiful environments in all their glory, and there is a particular extra dungeon which constantly uses the same room over and over with the same color and it eventually gets annoying.

In the game you play a young girl named Polka, a part time thief named Allegretto, his partner Beat, and a mysterious man named Frederic. Without reve...[More]


Never Stop Dreaming.

Eternal Sonata tells the tale of Chopin's dreams as he lies on his deathbed. Overall, the game is overly refreshing in both its graphical style and musical score. The journeys that Chopin goes on are both entertaining and rewarding. Simply put, Eternal Sonata is a great game that you should definitely check out, but allow me explain my views further. The graphical style alone sets Eternal Sonata ...[More]
