i love this game. the battle system leaves alot to be desired from the first game. but the graphics are great. the voices of kosmos and shion are back. the storyline is great. all i want is for a fourth game to come out.


5 out of 5 stars A phenomenal experience   July 2, 2008

I am writing this quick review having finished this game for the first time after having been a long-time fan of the series. It has easily become my favorite RPG series of all time, even above that of Final Fantasy.

If you enjoy a good story, you will get an amazing one. The gameplay is fun, and the graphics are gorgeous. While the second game is lacking in several departments, this installment is more breathtaking than the first two combined and totals to be an unforgettable series, and one worth keeping in anyone's permanent game library. I only hope that someday in the future the trilogy is expanded upon, as it is the most complex universe with the most complex characters and story you would ever find-- and a most enjoyable one.

The bottom line: play it! It's more than worth its cost. I do recommend playing the first two games of the series first, however, or else many things will be extremely confusing.

Xenosaga is a great game no matter which episode you play.
This one is as good as the first one. I would reccommend this
game highly.



5 out of 5 stars Hands down the best game in the series! Too bad it's the last entry!   August 19, 2007

After playing Ep. 1, I was hooked. Ep. 2's story was really good, but the game was setup in such a way that if you didn't complete the BORING sidequests, you essentially didn't stand a chance against many of the bosses. Ep. 3 laid all of my fears to rest, as the story started strong and kept me glued to the screen for hours at a time (18 hours in one sitting). To complement this, the battle system was streamlined to a more traditional "final fantasy-esque" format. The real treat was the complete overhaul of the mech battles. Fans of Xenogears will feel right at home with how Monolith redesigned these battles. Graphically, the game delivers some of the best visuals I've seen on the PS2. The soundtrack, though not as strong as that of Ep. 1, certainly delivers the feel of an epic sci-fi adventure a la Star Wars/Star Trek. If you crave an engrossing story and an exceptional audiovisual experience, you won't go wrong with this game.


4 out of 5 stars fun, but the story is confusing if you haven't played 1st and 2nd games   August 15, 2007

I got this game last year and its really awesome. And addictive. But, if you haven't played the 1st and 2nd games.
