Customer Reviews

A solid adventure which all RPG fans should experience
Lost Odyssey is quite possibly the best RPG available thus far on the Xbox 360. It doesn't break many boundaries, but is a very solid game that can be recommended to any fan of the genre.
The game's battle system takes the form of rando encounters and turn-based combat. I disagree with some complaints that this is outdated, for me this system still works and is classic rather than cliche. Each to their own of course. The addition of rings adds a more exciting element to the battles however, as well as a good touch of originality.
The storyline for me was good, but not great. The classic "save the world from a big baddie" scenario still works, but there is some magic missing to fully engage me and grab my full attention. Call me dumb but some aspects got a bit complex that I didn't quite get, especially in terms of many of the main characters' pasts. The English voice acting is variable. There are some good voices, notably Jansen, but the characters of Cooke and Mack become awfully irritating brats thanks to their voice actors' cheesy presentation, which genuinely detracted from the overall experience for me. Several emotional and touching scenes were suddenly ruined by those two suddenly showing up. Luckily you can opt for Japanese voice actors if it gets too unbearable. The game's soundtrack is generally good, but the same tunes tend to be recycled a bit too much for my liking.
Overall, Lost Odyssey is a solid and thoroughly enjoyable RPG, and will appeal to the majority of RPG fans, particularly Final Fantasy fans. There's just something missing which stops it being 'amazing'.
