Xenogears for PlayStation 1

Pros: Unique, refreshing style of play
Cons: I lost a couple of weeks out of my life

Xenogears rocks. This little unknown treasure is everything you would expect from a Square Soft game. The fighting style is something new, and takes a little getting used to, but the combinations of moves, and the unlocking of more powerful combo's...

Pros: Wow, I guess everything
Cons: Nothing really...

After playing this game, all I can say is: wow. This game far exceeded all aspects of a good RPG. However, after beating this game I moved on to other great titles, including Final Fantasy 7 and then eventually Final Fantasy 8. All three games were...

Pros: Interesting story, complex characters
Cons: Endless random battles, tedious dialogue

This is going to be one of those "reviews in progress" where I'll revise it as time goes on and upgrade my rating if it deserves it.

I basically bought Xgears because I needed a great RPG after finishing FF7, and a number of people...

Pros: feirce story and great battle system
Cons: 2D sprites on a polygon background

Xenogears is one of the longest most involving RPG's I have ever had the worthiness to play. The main character is an 18 year old named Fei Fong Wong (sorry if got it wrong I only got to borrow the game for a short while) who questions about his...

Pros: Constantly changing environments and plot to explore,lovely 3D rotatable graphics.
Cons: Long periods of uninvolving gameplay with excess text,hair rippingly frustrating random battles.

I desperately wanted to love Xenogears. It promised to be an undiscovered Playstation gem, which few British gamers had even heard of let alone played. The result was technically impressive but ultimately disappointing.
The opening manga-style...

Pros: Fight with giant robots
Cons: Lose some sleep over it.

Yes, it's me it's me it's the g-o-a-t. Hello everybody, I am here tonight to present the award for the most overlooked game ever made........ Xenogears, if you do not believe me just go into a video game retailer and simply ask them, "Do you...

Pros: Story, Characters
Cons: nothing

One day I remember sitting down in front of my Playstation and watching a preview disc on Final Fantasy 8. However, when I exited the sample movie, the playable demo of Xenogears appeared on my television screen. As I began to play the unusual...

Pros: Good graphics, story, music
Cons: Long cut scenes

This is by far the best RPG I have ever played. The graphics are crisp and well done, the music by Yasunori Mitsuda (best known for his work in ChronoTrigger) can range from upbeat and happy tunes like in Lahan, to really emotional tunes that really...

Pros: Fun to play, interesting story
Cons: Sometimes the story was could get hard to understand, some of the platforming elements could get annoying

When I first heard about this game I wanted to get it since it looked like it would be a great game like most of Square Soft's other titles. It took me such a long time to get my hands on this game but when I finally did I realized that the wait was well...

Pros: Music is blissful. The storyline is magnificent, and the gameplay is innovative, fun, as well as ingenious..
Cons: ...but it's tough as [expletive] to learn, and the graphics suffer from sprite-plagued slow down.

Where do I begin... I shouldn't even be writing this review, as I'm only 25 hours into a game that supposedly takes 60 hours (or more!)... but I'm too amazed to wait until I finish. Xenogears, produced by the same Square team that was responsible for...

Pros: Storyline, Innovative battle system
Cons: some lack of character development

Being a role-playing fanatic XENOGEARS was on my top priorities of games to buy. I had heard nothing but good things from friends and gaming magazines, the storyline seemed cool. Not to mention one of my friends highly recommended it. The start of...

Pros: great sound, great story, great game.
Cons: disc 2

I love stories.
I write them, I read them and I draw them.
I watch them, I listen to them, I live for them.

RPG's are a favorite past time of mine. Too bad they take up so much time. But when I do have the time, I love playing a...

Pros: Engrossing storyline, gameplay, music...
Cons: Text scrolled too slowly, poor anime dubbing.

I am Alpha and Omega...
The beginning and the end...
The first and the last...

If you only buy but a single game for your Playstation, let Xenogears be the one. Many doubted that this game would ever even be released here in the...

Pros: story, characters, and cinima graphics
Cons: story starts to skip in the 2nd cd

This game is a great game. Far better than Final fantasy VII. I found this game rotting in a pile of junk in the back of a video game store. I bought it seeing it was made by Square Soft. That was a lucky find! I
haven't been able to put it down for...

Pros: Great Story, 3d terrain
Cons: 2d characters, hard to move around

Put down your old RPG and pick up Xenogears!! This RPG is unmatched in storyline and playbility. By playability I mean that once you start playing this game, you won't want to put it down, thats how gripping this game is.

The game has...
