Two New Reviews

Chris has finally made it back from his Great Big Sumer Adventure and, as usual, we've locked him in a room with only a DS and Wii for company. As you'd expect, he's come up with the goods and here, for your reading pleasure, are two new reviews.

We've had Chris looking at RPG's this week: one for the Wii and other on the DS with Nintendo handling the publishing for both titles. In the Handheld department we have Solatorobo: Red The Hunter and while it looks visually stunning does it also have the gameplay to match? You can see what Chris thought in his full review here.

Xenoblade Chronicles is on a much greater and, dare we say it, epic scale but was this Japanese RPG really worth the wait? Chris spends some considerable time with the game and you can see what he though here.

  For reference, Xenoblade Chronicles took me just over 90 hours to get to the credits (and that includes my Wii freezing after I beat the final boss meaning I had to do it all again) and there was still so much left to do in the game. It really is an exceptional game though, and I enjoyed every second of that time, even with a lot of late nights. I still believe it's gonna get a release in NA, just after Skyward Sword has hit stores. And I can definitely see why. I have no idea how SS will top Xenoblade.

  90 hours isn't too shabby in my opinion. Many other games lasted less on my side. On Solatorobo: isn't there a LOT of extra content lately?

  Yeah, 90 hours is good. Just a shame that the red Classic Controller Pro that came in my bundle was broken in the box. Think the only game I've spent more time on was Oblivion. Got a duplicate save so I can spend even more time on it and do some of the really high levelled end game stuff. Couple of downloadable quests have been released every other week or something (about 4 at a time, totalling 12 I believe). They're still very similar to the quests on the cart unfortunately.

  I really like the creativity and gameplay of Xenoblade, however I really don't like the MMO feeling of it. I will still get it and have lots of fun, but as JRPG goes my last great fun was Radiant Historia and next will be The Last Story.
