Xenogears for PlayStation 1

Pros: Billy (post Stone), Hyu, Sig, and the plot
Cons: Fei and Elly's Relationship, Jumping (Especially Babel Tower)

Xenogears, while definitly a long game and text intensive is that way for a reason. The plot is deep and complex, not something that could be covered in a few lines. It tells a deep complex story of a world struggling for peace and the outside...

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...

Pros: Storyline, battle sytem, music
Cons: Complicated @#$% story

Three words, were not worthy the famous wayne's world quote. Many gamers like myself were amazed at the intense storyline, unique music, and the groundbreaking battle system that made Xenogears the game everyone can't stop talking about. You play as...

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: 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: Excellent story, great fighting system
Cons: fights get redundant by level 75

About a year ago I played a demo for this game. At first I didn't like the game. Then my friend, val parthen(see his review), let me play a couple of fights in the game. I was blown away! The fighting system was excellent. Instead of menus, you had...

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: Original storyline and battle system; Fantastic Animé CG FMVs; Gorgeous soundtrack; Simple control system; Fighting both hand-to-hand and in huge robots (gears)
Cons: Difficult to find; Large cast of characters can be hard to memorize; Limit of 3 characters in a party; Little opportunities for leveling up at key points in the game; No spoken text outside of the FMVs

Xenogears was my first venture into the realm of a Japanese animé game. I had purchased it for two reasons: because it was made by Square (I'm a huge fan), and because I had played a demo for it with Parasite Eve. However, the demo wasn't nearly enough...

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: Intriguing plot, varied characters
Cons: Boring main characters, not much play in Disc 2, long periods of dialogue with no action

Squaresoft's rpg epics are legendary and I've never met one I didn't like. This includes Xenogears. As usual, the wide variety of characters gave you a choice of ones you liked and ones you didn't. The storyline was deep and the philosophical questions...

Pros: the greatest game you will ever play
Cons: it may ruin many other games for you

I never ever thought a game could surpass FFVII in character and story depth, in story telling, or in just plain gripping fun. Then I petitioned for Xenogears to come to the US, a game said to surpass all others, but doomed not to be sold here do to...

Pros: Probably the deepest story ever written in an RPG.
Cons: Some of the text cut scenes can be a little TOO long.

Square never ceases to amaze us with a title that almost never made it to US shores. Never, in all the games I've played, have I ever seen such a rich, complex story in a video game. And it stunned me that this was only two discs!

It's...

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: 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: great graphics, storyline, and battle system
Cons: only two cds

Xenogears is one of the greatest games I have ever played. The storyline is one of if not the best out there. I believe it's better than Final Fantasy VII. I know it's a bold statement but it's a lot more in depth at times and I really think it should...
