Pros: Great looking CG cutscenes, excellent battle system, decent RPG elements
Cons: Too many cutscenes, in-game graphics uneven, too linear, short if you skip cutscenes
Summary: I had never played XenoGears... maybe I should to see why there was so much hype for this game. I w ... read more

Pros: Characters, cut scenes, script, customization
Cons: Gets too easy at some points
Summary: This game had to be one of the most deepest storyline involved RPGs I've played in a long time. It takes a lot to explain a lot of the game, which is why the cut scenes some times extend to 30 minutes or so. If you can't wait through that, then don't ... read more

Pros: inspiring storyline, good cutscenes, torture makes the end so much sweeter
Cons: useless walking, annoying battle features, unexpected super attacks, ugly menu, disgusting music
Summary: I loved Xenosaga I; it was an amazing game but the ending didn't satisfy me-so I just had to get number 2 to see if it could answers all of the questions that went unanswered. Unfortunately Xenosaga 2 was mere torture and, while I did get the story ... read more

Pros: graphics, almost-decent characters (a step up from Episode 1)
Cons: convoluted storyline, God-awful new battle system, bear claws for hands??
Summary: If you read my first review, for Xenosaga: Episode 1, then you're quite aware of my self-righteous hatred for the Xenosaga series. However, after viewing the absolutely enthralling finale of the first game (and moving forward with the next 2 Episodes of ... read more

Pros: Good graphics, great story
Cons: terrible gameplay, really long cut scenes, bad voice changes, story is hard to follow
Summary: Do you know this experience, you meet a woman, she's gorgeous, sumptuous lips, luscious curves, and eyes that bait you in with that tender come hither look. You go over to talk and then she opens her mouth and begins spewing words that ooze with ... read more

Pros: No crashes!
Cons: boring, tedious, snoozer with bad voice acting and impenetrably dense plot
Summary: I loved Xenosaga Episode I the first time I played it. For various reasons (mostly a lack of interest in PS2 games) I hadn't gotten the following episodes until recently. The second time I played EP1 it was a bit of a disappointment, but it was still ... read more

Pros: graphics,length, 2 great characters (KOS-MOS and MOMO)
Cons: everything else,(painfully)long, 2 GREAT CHARACTERS???
Summary: Let me make this very clear, even to all of you who are afraid to open up the full review from the comfort of the Review List page. I HATE THIS GAME. I HATE IT WITH ALL MY HEART, WITH ALL MY SOUL, AND WITH ALL MY MIND (though it wouldn't take too much ... read more

Pros: A good game, decent RPG elements, engaging storyline
Cons: There is a LOT of storyline, bosses are unbalanced in their difficulty
Summary: Do you like RPGs? Does the thought of kicking alien butt using a curvaceous female android excite you? Does the thought of over 8 hours of cinematics cause you to drool? How about a heavily religiously-overtoned, philosophical, and ... read more

Pros: Story, cut scenes, tons of side quests
Cons: Voice acting, no currency, no equipment, just not as great as the first
Summary: Naturally with the success of Xenogears for the PS1, there would be a sequel. Or rather in this case, sort of an un-official sequel that really doesnt have anything at all in common story wise. The supposed six part Xenosaga was later released for the ... read more

Pros: good grahpics and good VA
Cons: confusing combot system, can be frustrating, can get stuck in some areas.
Summary: I got Xenosaga a couple of months ago when I found it at a gamestop for only 17 dollars and after hearing all the hype I decided to get it. Well this is probably the only RPG I have played in a while that I stopped in the middle and didn’t want to get ... read more

Pros: Fantastic graphics, continuation of the Xenosaga story
Cons: Convoluted gameplay, awful storytelling job, bad voice acting, sharp quality drop from the previous game
Summary: Xenosaga II is positively not worth playing unless you've played, and beaten Xenosaga I. I'd give Kudos to the development team for following through with this "ground breaking notion" (you know, a sequel require you to have watched the previous movie, ... read more

Pros: Great Storyline. Most of the Characters. Good Battle System.
Cons: Mo-Mo and Shion. Cutscenes may bore people with small attention spans.
Summary: XenoGears was one of the best games that were created for the original playstation. Since the PS2 came out, the saga has continued with the prequel series to XenoGears, XenoSaga. In Episode I, you find yourself taking on the perspective of Shion, an ... read more

Pros: Great story, more streamlined battle system
Cons: Battle/skill system still complicated, out of place j-pop
Summary: Xenosaga II: Jenseits von Gut und Bose finds itself in a position very different from the original. Xenosaga Episode I was a heavily hyped role-player, with the legions of Xenogears fans eagerly awaiting the 'prequel' to that PlayStation RPG classic. In ... read more

Pros: Um, the game's at least very short
Cons: The music, the story, the fights, the puzzles, and everything else
Summary: I was a tremendous fan of the original "Xenogears" game for the Playstation 1 that the current "Xenosaga" series is based on, as well as the 1st installment in the Xenosaga storyline for the Playstation 2. Both games had an intriguing plot, even if they ... read more

Pros: The story, Tough fights, Graphics
Cons: Some cut scenes too long, Lacking unique fighting skills, Few extras
Summary: Introduction I found that the game alone was great. Their were some major flaws but nothing that would divert a true RPG player from owning this title. On the other hand I don’t think it would be a good game for a novice to the RPG world to ... read more

Pros: Great story and battle system.
Cons: Lotsa cutscenes, battle system can be complex for inexperienced players.
Summary: Other than your requisite Final Fantasy release, no other RPG on the PS2 was ballyhooed as much as Namco’s Xenosaga. A quasi-prequel to Square’s beloved RPG Xenogears, Xenosaga had a lot to live up to in the shadow of its ‘predecessor’ and as the 1st in ... read more

Pros: Visuals, some music
Cons: Voices, the waiting, the droning, lack of music in environments, no boss music?
Summary: This game is my first purchase for the PS2. Sadly, it disappoints to the point where it hurts. I keep thinking of that saying "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" when I play this game. First off, this game follows a very ... read more

Pros: Epic story and music, clean graphics, voice acting.
Cons: Battle system, backgrounds, complicated menus.
Summary: Xenosaga is a prequel to the popular Squaresoft game "XenoGears." Well, some ex-Squaresoft employees (called Monolith) spit out this here "Saga" for us. Does it live up to the hype? Well, that all depends on who you're asking. "Xenosaga EPISODE 1: Der ... read more

Pros: stunning graphics, vibrant music, talented voice acting
Cons: it will eventually end!!!
Summary: well believe it or not, Xenosaga is not a sequel nor is it a spin-off...instead its a whole new project of six soon to be released stories by Namco, taking over for Square Enix (formely known as Squaresoft). The visual quality of this game is quite ... read more
