Infinite Undiscovery - Xbox 360

Pros Cons

Just another RPG.

When I play a game by a top-notch developer like Tri-Ace, I expect to experience high quality graphics, an amazing story, and responsive controls. Infinite Undiscovery accomplishes all of these things. While I was playing however, I kept saying to myself "This reminds me of Final Fantasy," or "This reminds me of Zelda." That was the problem. Infinite Undiscovery didn't bring enough fresh ideas to the table. I was always feeling like Undiscovery was just another RPG. For those looking for an RPG game that will keep you busy for a while, I highly recommend Infinite Undiscovery. For those who are more hardcore fans like myself, I would look somewhere else.

You won't be disappointed

Pros: The fluidity of the characters movements are great and add a certain sense of realism to the characters themselves. The graphics could be slightly better, but then again I am just using the regular yellow video cable with my audio being handled by my optical cable. The voice acting is great for pretty much all of the characters although Capell (the main character) can get annoying at times. The battles are engaging enough with your party's AI responding well to situations that arise in battle (healing, resurrecting, magic & physical attacks...). The music is always a big point for me in any video game, especially RPG's and the music in this game is excellent.

Cons: The story is definitely cliche with having to save the world and all that, but if you can get past, which isn't hard, then you have a great game on your hands. Capell's ignorance is annoying and his voice acting is average. More emphasis should of been placed on the main character, but if you can get past that as well its not too bad.

All in all its a great game. Its a shame that this game didn't sell as well as it should have. I don't think that you will be disappointed in it. It does have its downfalls but they are not major. Definitely worth a purchase.

On another note, maybe its just me, but some of the music reminds me of Secret of Mana for the SNES, just updated to sound nicer.

Infinite Undiscovery, a good rpg.

For some reason, when I first started playing this game, I said to myself, this reminds me of Legend of Zelda. While the main character might not be as cool or popular as Link, it was the way the game looked that made me think that way. Wait a minute, I know what your thinking, but Legend of Zelda games have always been last gen, and the visuals on the Wii arent near as good as 360's visuals. True, Infinite Undiscovery does have amazing visuals, but it was the environments and items along the way that were simliar to that of a Zelda game. Especially treasure chest and what you find inside them. And the way you fight your enemies is very similar also. Its not a turned based system, rather its a lock on an enemy and use the A and B buttons to combo your way to a victory. It works very well and is very easy to use, even though some of the bosses you fight arent that easy. Story is the only thing that keeps me from giving this game a perfect score. You start off in prison, while your in your cell, a young girl breaks you out. So you escape from the prison only to find out that you look exactly like someone else, and the girl that sprung you made a mistake. Anyway, she tells you about the evil that has come across the land and you meet her "gang" and finally decide to join and help the good fight. Its not a bad story, but there arent many surprises, and you kind of know what to expect next. If your looking for a good rpg for your dollar, look here. It'll keep you entertained for a while.

Awesome, to my suprise!

I borrowed this game from my cousin, expecting it to be another next gen letdown to the RPG genre. It's actually quite fun. The story center around Capel, a young flute player who happens to look like a warrior named Sigmund. I won't reveal anything more about that. Anyways, the Dreadknight and his evil Order of the Chains, have chained up the moon and it is causing sickness and disease all over the world. Sigmund, the Liberator, is thought to be the only man to be able to break these chains, and Capel get mixed up with him, simply because they look alike.

Graphics: Nothing Special. Hardly takes advantage of thre 360, but is detailed and colorful enough to be pleasing to the eye.

Sound: The music is wonderful, as you'd expect from a Square Enix game. The voice acting is good too, but it's so annoying when half the cutscenes in the game don't use voiceovers and you have to read text instead while the characters move their mouths.

Gameplay: Battle system is very action oriented. You press all the attack buttons yourself like an action game. Your party members usually do their own thing, but you can set them up to act a certain way. Some battles you can have 12 people on your side fighting at once!

Overall: A solid RPG, worth checking out without a doubt!

  • Aug. 29, 2008 Review: Is Infinite Undiscovery the next great 360 RPG? Uh, not really.

    Infinite Undiscovery had all of the ingredients for a potentially legendary role playing experience. Backed by world renowned publisher Square Enix and helmed by famed developer Tri-Ace of Star Ocean fame, the title has been garnering massive amounts of attention for its various claims of innovation, originality and forward thinking concepts. Unfortunately, the final product never instills anything but a "been there, done that" feeling with a mediocre effort that fails to please.

    THE BOTTOM LINE: Oh, what could have been! An RPG with this kind of pedigree should have been something Xbox 360 owners could be proud of; instead, it disappoints and is yet more proof that the 360 needs more quality RPGs and fast. Keep your fingers crossed, 360 fans, that Final Fantasy XIII delivers the goods.

    Infinite Undiscovery's title may be misleading. It's not that you won't be discovering anything-just that there is so much to discover, you may not find it all, according to producer Hajime Kojima.
