Anything not 75 or better, with a few exceptions in my book, waits until it's $20 or less.[/quote]
i dont pay attention to reviews, usually games i find amazing get 7's and 8's from most places (culdcept, acr the lad)
suikoden isnt a huge name in the gaming world, and (im sure) 4 isnt some innovative masterpiece. but i loved the first 2, picked up 3 the first day and havent played it since that first day. it just felt wrong. hopefully with 2 years they had, they made a good game. the reviews i read didnt like it, but said the battles were faster, more frequent, and not in pairs, which were my 3 main problems with 3, so i think it might be good. at 30 bucks, if i hate it, im sure i can sell it for 30 on ebay, no harm no foul ^^[/quote]
Well It's still 3d, and there are HUGE load times(atleast for a primary xbox playah, 5 seconds going into seperate TOWN areas, and four seconds before each battle). Other then that they fixed the battles (back to second 1 and 2 easyness when it comes to fighting) and story seems interesting, and theres voice acting! The story starts off very slow/boring but it picks up after about two hours. So far I would give it a 8/10, but nothing higher then that. Konami looks like they are getting the series on the right track again.
