I enjoy the game, the only people that seem to be disappointed are people who thought it was going to be the best game ever, or thought it would be like Final Fantasy or something.

Granted, the game is short, which could easily be beaten in 12 hours or so, only if you go straight through the main story, without doing any extra quests. This game isn't much of an RPG, which is a good thing (IMO), it plays a lot like The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, but with a more mature and developed storyline, more in-depth combat & spells, and some RPG elements (like leveling up your Strength, Skill, and/or Will). So its more like an Action/Adventure game with some RPG-esque additions.

The game has some amazing graphics, excellent soundtrack, great voice acting, and some nice responsive controls. My only gripes with the game is that its pretty short (by most RPG standards), there can be some problems with the camera (mainly when your inside of a building, but this can easily be fixed by zooming in/out and/or rotating the camera), and the lack of variety with weaponry and armor.

Overall this is a really good game. Is it worth a purchase? Maybe, if you're into RPGs, Action/Adventure titles, games with well-developed storylines, games where pretty much EVERY decision you make has a consequence, and games with tons of in-depth character customization, then you'll probably enjoy the game. If you're not much into of any of the above, or your skeptical, you might want to borrow it from someone or spend $5 to rent it.

I liked the game, which doesn't necessarily mean you will. This is one of the few games I've ever played where I got completely immersed into the gameworld, meaning I played the game in 10-12 hour sessions. I must say that after beating the game twice (as good and evil), I don't really feel compelled to play it again. Was it worth $50? In my opinion, every bit of the $50 was worth it. Does this mean I'll keep the game forever and ever? Probably not, I'm actually thinking about trading it in when Star Wars: Battlefront is out. Overall this is one of the better games I've played, and I've played a lot of damned games. If I had to give it a score, out of 100%, I'd give it an 85%.
