Square Enix invite us to take part in hectic battles featuring a bunch of great characters. But is this really a welcome evolution to the classic RPG series?

Fantastic characters; great graphics; amazing environments

Shamelessly linear; streamlined gameplay; monotonous

The background to the game is crucial, and players may find themselves consulting the Datalog option in the main menu quite often for information. The Datalog contains updated information on the thirteen days that lead up to the events of the main characters' l'Cie transformation, along with...

Even if you don't like Final Fantasy XIII, you can more than likely take it and resell it for store credit at a big box store, and you're still getting a top-of-the-line 360 plus store credit at a box store for no charge. Otherwise, if you can find a better bundle on New Egg, go with that.

It's a game, the 360, two wireless controllers, AND a new 250GB HDD; Basically you're getting the game for free

The game is Final Fantasy XIII; which looks really good; but you spend the first 20-30 hours walking in a straight line and pressing the "A" button; occasionally; pressing up or down

Final Fantasy. The RPG series known to millions of gamers worldwide for its long-standing legacy of intricate characters, exceptional storytelling, engaging battle systems and spectacular visuals.

Great Game.The Kingdom Hearts series is one of my all time favorites so I thought I would check out games from SE. I also love the xenosaga series so when I saw this game the gameplay was familiar to me. I always liked the final fantasy series but never got around to buying one.

The storyline at first is confusing but begins to make sense as things move along. But what really makes the game interesting is their interpretation of turn based combat, its a big change from anything I've experienced before and makes the game interesting and fun to play even in the age of instant...

One of the best FF games ever. I definitely recommend this game for those who love RPG's. Prepare to be dazzled

Followers of Final Fantasy are used to waiting; the thirteenth instalment is only the third offline entry in the last ten years, and the first to embrace the HD generation that's such a perfect canvas for Square Enix's epic and consistently beautiful vision.

Visually stunning game, the story was a bit hard for me to understand at first and the linear gameplay was boring. But that's all at the start. About 70% into the game when the true final fantasy(free roam and grind) experience starts and it's massive!!! Yea, have to be patient till then.

All in all, I had a great time with Final Fantasy Type-0 HD. The story doesn't make much sense, but the battle system is really fun and addictive and kept me coming back. And despite the overwhelming nature of having so many subsystems to keep track of, leveling the characters and upgrading stuff is...

Fun battle system; replay value; lots of distinct playable characters; good music; difficulty options

Confusing story; uneven visuals; too many subsystems
