Caught In The Whirlwind
Xenosaga 3…Completed
Kos-Mos
After an exhaustive week of playing it almost nonstop…I’ve finished Xenosaga 3. Yay me!
So the game was pretty good if you consider it a standalone title and not compare it to it’s inspiration (Xenogears). The storyline got a bit confusing towards the end when they brought in a bunch of meta-physical stuff to it, but generally an enjoyable experience. They still have a habit of namedropping things from the bible in a completly misplaced context, but if you just nod, smile and accept it for what it is in the context of the game, it’s not quite as bad…
The comabt system is leaps and bounds better than what was in the first and second titles in the series, a lot simpler but letting you have some ability to strategize if you enjoy that sort of stuff.
The music was pretty good in general (a huge departure from number 2), but there were a couple tracks that felt out of place.
Actually, that sums up a lot of the game. It’s pretty good in general, but has some rough spots. Not a masterpiece, but something which gives you a good solid 40 hours worth of enjoyment for your cash. I do recommend it, but it’s helpful if you’ve played the first two games…otherwise you’re going to be very confused to start off with.
