Xenogears for PlayStation 1

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: Story, music and sound effects, complex fighting system.
Cons: Some people may be offended by some aspects of the plot, graphics could be better, repetitive music at times

Usually I can tell right off the bat when a game is going to be either good or bad just from looking at the cover. When I first saw Xenogars I automatically thought "Corny anime-inspired rip-off" or something to that degree. I picked it up...

Pros: Excellent story, combines lots of ideas; innovative
Cons: Sometimes you just want to play and not have to fight battles over and over.

When I first bought my playstation, about a year and a half ago, I purchased with it, Parasite Eve. With that game came a demo disc with 3 movies plus a playable demo. Asking a friend who already had the game what Xenogears was like, he said it was dumb...

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: An unbelievable story, fantastic music, and serious literary prowess
Cons: Gear battles are repetative near the beginning, too much dialogue at once

I have to say right away that I wrote an opinion on this game a while ago, and gave it a three out of five. I have since played the game again and raised my rating to a five. Since in my opinion five does not denote perfect, just excellent, Xenogears...

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: Good story, new battle systems, anime/computer graphics.
Cons: Graphics, music

Xenogears is on of the best RPG's I have played, story wise. The story might be a little difficult for people on the first disc, but it all comes together on the second. For those without patience, I still recommend this game because of the new battle...

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: Merizing story ,Long gameplay, and superb music
Cons: I cant think of any from my favorite game

There are Two words to describe this game. The best. If you are an RPG craving fan you must have this game. This is the longest and most in depth RPG you could ever dream about, but no it s not a dream. This is one of my favorite games along with...

Pros: story, gameplay, surprises
Cons: none

I bought this game simply because Squaresoft made it. I knew nothing about it. (I don't subscribe to magazines.)
I must say, I have not regretted it. The sleepless nights and all, were worth it.
The gameplay is beautiful. All the twists...

Pros: Great soundtrack, great story, great characters, interesting battle system
Cons: Pixilated character sprites, battles can get repetitive, the lat dungeon is annoying.

...Wow. Xenogears is...well...wow. There has never been an RPG (Role Playing Game) that has impressed me this much, it's simply amazing. Xenogears is one of the greatest RPG's I have ever played, it has story, characters, involving battles, and...

Pros: Movies, characters, animation, plot, makes you think
Cons: None

Xenogears is Squaresoft's next great RPG. This combines the ideas of machines and humans working together to discover our past as humans. This game is a more spiritual one and has a lot of parallels with the Bible and its teachings. The movie scenes are...

Pros: storyline; gameplay; characters; variety of offensive and defensive items
Cons: minor: sometimes inconsistent experience building system

When a programming company sets out to design a serious roleplaying game, most of the time you get a game full of potential yet it never really utilizes that potential and you are left feeling cheated and disgusted. Well Square Soft has made a great...

Pros: Almost everything! And the big robots! Woohoo!
Cons: Not too much...pixelated chars.

And once again we have a Square RPG up for examination, but, unlike Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 8, Xenogears passes...A+, perfect.

The game is made how games used to be. Made for experience, not money, not profit. It is exactly how...

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...
