Xenogears for PlayStation 1

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: immersing story line, great looking movies, well drawn backgrounds, GREAT MUSIC!
Cons: pixilated sprites, mouths move after done talking in movie clips

I bought this game originally thinking that it would be a cheesy Anime game. (boy was i wrong!) I put the game in, played for 30 minutes and was hooked. I didn't stop until 3:00 AM. I had 30 hrs on this 60+ hrs game in 2 days! Square did a good job...

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: Storyline, music, anime cutscenes
Cons: Graphics, fighting get repetitive

This game is one of my all time favourites and there's good reason. The storyline, although a bit weak at first, really picks up latter on and you won't want to put the game down. The story is also can be quite religious with references to Judaism and...

Pros: Best story, best system, best characters
Cons: not much computer graphic movies, but it still rules

I can't understand why no one in America knows this game, cause it was a great hit in japan. All the jap friends I have loves this game, and I love it too. True, it doesn't have all those computer graphic movies like in Final Fantasy 7 or 8. But this...

Pros: Awesome Storyline, nice CG graphic, level up and skill learning system
Cons: the storyline is kinda hard to understand at first

All my game buddies know that I'm a hardcore RPG gamer. About 95% of my games-PC games, Playstation and Dreamcast games are consist of RPG games. What attracts me to RPG, and the RPG gamers all around, is the storyline.

Just look at all the...

Pros: This game has superb music and great graphics, with an enthralling story on the side.
Cons: This is a great game although it's greatest feature its story can be its greatest flaw at times the game can get a little text heavy, (Like this review) from time to time.

This is one of the greatest games to ever grace the playstation. Simply put this game is a masterpiece. Why, what do you mean why. All the sudden my words not good enough, well then let me explain. This game has an ever evolving plot that keeps you...

Pros: Storyline, gameplay
Cons: pixelation during zoom ins

I purchased this game because it was made by Squaresoft and they have had a good record of games. Let me just say that the storyline in this game is so deep and complex that it's unreal. It has great characters and gameplay. It also offers about 50 hours...

Pros: Incredible Story, Great Characters, Lengthy Gameplay
Cons: Voice-Overs, Jumping Puzzles

In Xenogears, one thing is for sure- nothing should be taken for face value. The game itself is not too widely known, but don’t let that fool you, it is one of the greatest role-playing games ever made.

A Perfect Work
Xenogears’...

Pros: Depthless plot, beautiful music, excellently-designed characters, striking anime cutscenes
Cons: Somewhat difficult, but otherwise perfect

Undoubtedly, Xenogears is Squaresoft's greatest marvel, even leaving Final Fantasy VII to fester in it's dust.

During the game, tow empires known as Kislev and Aveh are at war, though no one remembers exactly war. For the longest time, Kislev...

Pros: Excellent plot, beautiful graphics
Cons: 2nd cd can get tedious at times

Originally, I was obsessed with the Final Fantasy series as most RPG gamers are. But once I layed my hands on Xenogears, I quickly changed and realized how much better Xenogears is. I played the demo of xenogears originally and I really didn't like it....

Pros: EVERYTHING IS OUTSTANDING
Cons: NOTHING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS GAME

This game is by far one of the greatest games of all time. There is nothing you can't like about this game. The graphics are great, the story is outstanding, the characters are extremely unique. The combat system is extremely creative and easy to use...

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: 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: Extremely Deep Gameplay
Cons: Date Graphics, 2nd Disc Seems Rushed

Ah, Xenogears. What can really be said about such an outstanding experience? Namco recently released Xenosaga, which is supposedly a spin-off of the Xenogears universe (think “Archie Bunker” in relation of “All in the...
