    It looks like a very action orientated JRPG. You can take cover like in Gears of War and all the inputs are real time. I heard it's more about herding enemies into positions so area of effect attacks are maximised which sounds like loads of fun and adds a new element of stratefy I've not seen in an RPG.

    I've heard on Gamepro's RPGRealm that this game really is something special. However the same guy also said that Xenoblade was only decent, a B-list JRPG whereas I think it couldn't be further from the truth and it's probably the best and most creative JRPG since the Persona 3 and 4 games. I'll be picking it up either way.

    Eh, I played it for 20 hours, not to the second dungeon and got sidetracked. That game is great but way too long!

    Last Story looks good from the trailer, although I vaguely recall reading references to it being inspired by MMORPGs, which always fills me with dread :(

    I thought the same after the single player RPG that was FFXII and how boring I found the battle system but after Xenoblade did the same type of battle system and did it so well I'm not so put off anymore.

    Looks the business. The graphics are great for the Wii. Am still waiting for Xenoblade to drop in price before I get it but this looks to have another level of strategy altogether. Has anybody coined the term Wiinaisance?

    Wii's always had good games you just had to be on the ball to find them.

    What did I miss in between Sakura Wars and Xenoblade? I'd given up on the Wii after Monster Hunter.

    There's a few gems on it that are covered by shovelware as you can say :)

    Sin and Punishment 2, No More Heroes 2, Endless Ocean, Fragile Dreams, A Boy and his Blob, Goldeneye, Shiren the Wanderer to name a few. Not sure when Sakura Wars came out.

    Fragile Dreams and Shiren the Wanderer look interesting, hadn't heard of them before, cheers. Shame the latter didn't see an EU release (and that the Freeloader got snookered so early in its life - before I got to finish Mobile Suit Gundam: MS Sensen 0079:mad:)

    Edit: Sakura Wars came out early last year, roundabout the same time as Monster Hunter

    You can always soft mod the Wii, it's how I can play it.

    As for Fragile Dreams, it's fantastic, much better than the reviews say. It's got some problems but it's worth playing past them because it's a really well told story and the locations are very atmospheric. It's very emotional though, a real tearjerker so keep the kleenex handy.
