A good time waster, but nothing revolutionary,
by Scott Posey, 2009-01-09

Last Remnant is not a game worthy of any awards. At times, the game feels like it is almost broken. Combat will lag, characters will disappear only to reappear a few moments later, the game stutters, etc. But, with all this mentioned, the game still is pretty fun. If you can look past all the technical issues this game has, you may be able to find some fun in this game. But, if you aren't a fan of JRPG (Japanese Role Playing Games: i.e. Final Fantasy, Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery) stay away. This game is heavily JRPG. Right down to the battle system which is not in real time.

If you have an xbox elite, install this game to your HD, it will help with some of the issues.

Awesome game,

Great game. Square Enix has done it again. One of the best RPGs I've played in a long time.

Great graphics, but a slow game,
by Juan P. Urruchua Galindo, 2008-12-29

I have played Fable II extensively and I thought the Last Remnant was a good follow-up. Coudn't be more wrong. Although the graphics are superb, better than the ones on Fable II, the loading in and loading out of battle scenes is a killer. It takes away a lot out of the fun of playing an RPG - i.e. waiting. Also you cant really control what happens on the battle scene as everything is pre-programed once your decisions are made... unlike Fable II where you manipulate every bit of the actual encounter with Mobs. For $[...] bucks I would've spent my money elswhere. After 5 hours of gameplay I gave up.

Wow, I'm just always waiting...,
by T. Moseman, 2008-12-29

To sum up this game, it's hit the green button three times, wait 5 minutes, hit the green button three times, wait 5 minutes, hit the green button, wait 5 minutes, repeat, repeat, repeat. After GTA IV, Fallout 3 and Fable 2, I am just SO bored by this game. I have put 20 hours into it and the story is boring, the battles are boring, and the character custimazation and progression is boring. It is in load screens CONSTANTLY and there is so little world to explore... I think the 8.0/10.0 that some review sites gave this was way to generous... I give it a 3 ... one for each green button push before I can go make another snack.

Lights, Camera, Action! Nice, But Expensive, Movie,
by Eileen Kortright, 2008-12-27

I was extremely disappointed with this game. If I had known it was just a bunch of CGI movies strung together with battle scenes where you direct all the troops, I would have never have bought it.

This is not what I would call an RPG -- not even close. There is little interaction between your character and the NPCs that is not regulated as a mini-movie. Bah.

It does not even come close to Oblivion, Diablo or Fallout 1, 2 & 3. It's more on par with the Middle Earth games, which I also disliked immensely.

The CGI IS nice, though, I will say that. Otherwise, complete waste of time and money for me.
