	Tbh its only worth a rental, I found the game to be extremly lacking in loads of elements and found the gameplay to be terrible in places. The inventory screen should of paused the game when you opened it. Having to run around and kill all of those roots was a boring experience. And the ending to the game just isn't worth the ammont of hell you've gone through just to get there =/ ------------------- FFF <3's Sazzii

	The game looks great and driving around central park is good. I enjoyed it. I found killing the trees fun, some took some innovation to find ways to get around the obstacles. The use of Molotov cocktails and putting together different things is fun. The game is a big Improvement on the original. It can be challenging at first but not impossible. -------------------

	Its not challenging, Its damned near impossible to get used to the controls. The camera switching between third person and first person is rediculas. When i read this option was going to be available i thought it would be good in the sense you could pick between them and stick with it. However i was sadly mistaken. The game forces you to switch between them which is rediculassly annoying. And the fact you have to learn a new set of controls for switching between them is even more frustrating. The third person's camera is AI controlled where as in the first person it is not. The game physics are another thing that is a big let down. Extremely hard to use turns and quick movements make it near impossible to pick things up and use them at a whim. This makes close combat nearly impossible without getting hit and dying. The in game AI monsters are incredinly stupid at that. I mean in the first level i accidentally dropped a chain in front of the 'boss' and the stupid thing couldnt even think to walk around it or move it. Definetly not worth my 80$ and i am taking it back today. Thank god for 7 day money back garruntee's -------------------

	All technical flaws aside (Which, by the way, there will be a patch to fix them being released onto Xbox LIVE), this game is absolutely amazing. The soundtrack is totally epic, the game is immense in size and experience (Central Park is huge! The controls may need a little getting used to, sure, but I wouldn't completely discount the game. I even went so far as to buy the limited edition. =] So yes, I would say that this game is worth it. ------------------- //Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals Classic Gamer's Society//

	Most reviews gave this game only 3.0's. I would say you either love it. Or hate it. Rent it. Decide for yourself then buy it or want a full day of your life back. -------------------

	Depends on the site. Some sites gave the game around the high 7's to early 8's. In some instances, the game can be critically acclaimed. It's just such a shame that some people believe that the minor flaws of the game ruin the experience as a whole. ------------------- //Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals Classic Gamer's Society//

	This game is a shit-pile. I downloaded the demo off XboxLive and thought it looked good. I really liked the look and mechanics of the fire and the combining items looked creative and fun. Too bad fire is barely seen once you enter Central Park and theres only 7 or so items you can combine. So scratch those two points. I rented the game and had 1000/1000 in two and a half days. It was too easy, the endings didn't make sense, the camera was horrible, the driving was flawed. There's no words that describe the feeling you get when you're driving down shit-pit street, hit a pebble on the ground and are suddenly stopped dead in your tracks. Crap. Truly crap. ------------------- They've done it. It's dead. Now cracks a noble heart. Good-night, sweet prince; And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

	It's true that this game may be flawed in some places, but if you went through and got the full 1000/1000, that would indicate to me that either you enjoyed the title somewhat, or are an Achievement whore. Why else would you bother hunting down all the Roots of Evil? Anyway, I agree with the driving stage, as it was quite annoying at the best of times, and I found that it was far easier to complete in Cockpit View as the vehicle appears to control alot easier that way. I agree that the camera sucks as well. But Eden Games are currently patching it so that the player can control it. There are also other modifications to the game being made in the patch, to make it more enjoyable. ------------------- //Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals Classic Gamer's Society//

	It wasn't 59th street, it was the driving in central park. Tiny bit of cracked pavement = 2 front flips and a broken axle. The only reason I went to all the roots of evil was the pure ease of it. I just need to drive there, pick one of the many nitro-glycerin containers that happen to be sitting in the trash, throw it at the tree and drive off. Some trees were fun to destroy, but those with only a few demon guards were simply boring. ------------------- They've done it. It's dead. Now cracks a noble heart.

	Oh, that's strange. I had oodles of problems with the 59th Street driving episode, yet the other one with the Vampirz chasing you, I did on the first try... I guess there wasn't as much emphasis placed on time, in that one though, as the pavement wasn't dropping out beneath your vehicle... ------------------- //Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals Classic Gamer's Society//

	It's not any specific driving sequence. It's the driving in general. ------------------- They've done it. It's dead. Now cracks a noble heart. Good-night, sweet prince; And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

	Yeah, the driving doesn't really handle that well. I'd have to agree with that too. But I don't think it detracts from the game too much, as driving isn't a vital part of the game. (Although it was dissapointing, jumping the fissure using the tow truck, only to find that you weren't positioned correctly, and as the game slows down considerably to try and make the jump look climatic, you end up at the other side, just missing the ledge, and blowing up against the side of the cliff face.. I had to attempt that one a few times, despite positioning myself correctly for the jump. Oh well... And I just noticed that you're also Australian. Good to see another Aussie around. =] ------------------- //Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals Classic Gamer's Society//
