Blue Dragon

"Blue Dragon definitely has its moments, but that's all they are: moments. There's no overarching theme, no intriguing plot points pushing you forward, no mysterious characters you can't wait to learn more about. It's just not a cohesive experience -- and that's what separates the great RPGs from the mediocre ones."

"If I could sum up the Blue Dragon experience, I would describe it as classic RPG gaming brought to the next gen. Sure it's no political drama, and it won't have you aggressively button-mashing, but Blue Dragon promises engaging gameplay that you'll not only want to play through once, but revisit again and again. Plus it looks great, has a memorable story, and has an absolutely breathtaking musical score. And that's all I think we can ask for in a game."

"This feels like a lost opportunity. The talent of the three creators who collaborated on this title is unquestionable, and in some areas - the perfectly tuned, if rather shallow, difficulty curve, the absolutely delightful graphics and the occasional piece of inspired dungeon design - you can see the bones of a wonderful game showing through."

"Blue Dragon is an unexceptional RPG that does just enough to escape mediocrity."
