- Stop before you finish it
I completed this game and enjoyed the graphics and gameplay feel as I did so. However, the ending was the most horrible abomination ever created. I really don't want to go into detail for fear of reliving it in my mind. Do yourself a favor and stop just before the end... you'll be glad you did.

- cute and very fun
This game is really cute. it is easy to play and has a lot of hidden goodies. you might pass these up at first, but just like a final fantasy game, it has you play through a second time. the achievement points are too low for a lot of things though, and for as many as I have I feel like it should add up to more. the story line is really great and the ending awesome. I wish this game had taken advantage of xbox's multiplayer system though.

- You'll have fun until the graphics wear thin...
Well, it's hard for me to recommend this game. Most of the redeeming aspects of the game have nothing to do with gameplay and the poorly done aspects are basically everything about the gameplay. The two pros are its graphics and music. If you can find a youtube compilation of the all the cutscenes and a soundtrack to the game, you'd really be experiencing all the good aspects of the game without having to suffer through actually playing it. This is a title I can only recommend to people who love JRPGs to the point that they'd enjoy a bad one.

To me, the game is a cake. A beautifully adorned and intricately sculpted cake... that's rotten, maggot infested and totally unfit for eating unless you think food poisoning is awesome.

- Eternal Sonata Review
Eternal Sonata is about Frederic Chopin, a very famous composer, getting very ill. He falls into what the doctor says is a long deep sleep that you have just before you're about to die. He meets Polka, Allegretto, Beat, and all the other characters eventually in the story line. Chopin is not sure if this is just a dream, or "A Reality That is Far Too Real".

This game was one of the 1st RPG's for the Xbox360, and can definatley be easy to fall in love with. The music is absolutley amazing, (I'd give that a 5/5.) Graphics, 4.5/5. And Storyline, 4.5/5. Overall: 4.5 Even though its a video game, it also has a little bit of historical information on Chopin and some others related to him and even uses some of Chopin's music. The battle system was very creative because it doesn't have the same attacks everytime. If you are in light places, you have certain specials and if you're in dark places, you have other ones. Some enemies change their appearence depending on which type of lighting they are in. Also, during battles, it is taken by turns. Though sometimes the game can seem challanging at times, it can also seem too easy.

So this is a very imaginative RPG and I think is the best RPG I've ever played. Characters were creative, but the voice acting wasn't too great.
If they were to make a 2nd one, I would definatley give it a chance and get it. Overall: 4.5

- Touching, exciting, and adorable, albeit a bit long
The story is the first thing to capture your attention. By the end of the game it becomes fighteningly strange. There are two halves to this story. First, there is a generic JRPG story - kill the bad guy, save the world. Second, there is a philosophical analysis and statement on the main character's situation (he is stuck in his own dream). Dealing with controversial topics like reality, war, politics, evil, activism/motivation, and suicide, I loved the story in this game. It was touching, and exciting.

Additionally, there are history lessons about Chopin's (famous pianist, who plays the main character in this game) life thrown into it, which always relate to the story.

The characters behave fairly realistically, which improved the story.

The graphics are pleasant, smooth, and just adorable. This is by far one of the cutest JRPGs I've played. The style of the world is consistent and has a very anime feel.

The game's action all occurs in static battlefields, initiated by encountering enemies that roam the areas freely. The battle system was really exciting, and well balanced. Regular enemies weren't too easy, and bosses were challenging. For a predetermined amount of time your characters are able to attack, and use skills and items in real time. Each character takes a turn based on their speed. Half the fun of battles was trying new skills and strategies. Players can do some really fascinating combos and skills if they wish to, which is great!

The gameplay consists of towns, dungeons, and of course battles. Towns have decent exploration. Dungeons are linear enough to explore all of it, but nonlinear enough to cause you some backtracking (if you choose). My only complaint here is that some dungeons are too long, causing a some boredom.

My only other complaint is that sometimes objectives aren't well explained. Often I found myself clueless where to go, although it's not too hard to figure it out yourself.

It's a strong game, though a bit long and tedious. I really enjoyed it. There is extra content, but I don't think I'd replay it.
