Eternal Sonata

Eternal Sonata - Xbox 360

Pros Cons
Awesome audio Not enough content
Engaging story Doesn't live up to expectations
Tight controls Repetitive gameplay
Innovative concepts  
Just good, not great

I, being a piano player myself, was intrigued by this game just for the fact that Chopin was a lead character! It is a bizzare game with a fun concept, but the gameplay is very average. The story is that one day Chopin has a dream upon his death bed of another world. The game, is his dream.

Graphics: Cel shaded anime graphics. The environments are very drab and could use detail, but the chracters look fabulous!

Sound: Great classical music reigns throughout. In between chapters you are treated to a piano piece that Chopin composed. Voice acting is a little dull sometimes.

Controls: They are very simple and work well. Battles are easy and so is navigation.

Gameplay: Here is where some of my biggest complaints lie. The biggest problem is enemy diversity. In every environment, there is no more than 2 different enemy types. This makes fighting grow boring awfully fast. Bosses are the only break from the same ol' same ol'. The battle system has a unique aspect, as you have different attacks based on whether your in sunlight or shadow. This is that deep thought. The rest is your standard RPG, just running around opening chests and continuing the story.

Overall: A decent RPG with many flaws. May want to rent first as not everyone will like this game.
