Xenoblade Chronicles reviews

I've been playing video games since the late 80's and of the thousands of games I've played I can probably say that Xenoblade Chronicles is within my top 10. The graphics, gameplay, soundtrack (especially the soundtrack) and presentation are all top notch. And the game is massive. Prepare to sink 120+ hours into this masterpiece.

If you're a fan of quality games, do yourself a favor and get your hands on Xenoblade Chronicles.

Definetely the Best Wii game out so far, RPG anyway, not subjecting itself to the typical JRPG tropes, original setting, interesting characters, though the only thing I dislike the is the stupid fanservice (seriously japan, treat your female characters with more respect), but It is a simply stunning Game. Reccomend it to all Wii owners who love RPGs.

A brilliant JRPG that is a must have for any Wii or Wii U owner. Highly recommended!

The story doesn't let you be with dozens of questions, just a feeling of plenitude. Even if some (playable or not) characters are not always completely original, you'll like most of them. Just remember that the game is pretty deep in every aspect and I played enough game to know what complete means. And I salute the developers for their work. Hoping to see a new one in the next years. Thanks Monolith Soft !

I'm from Mexico and I moved down here to NZ couple of weeks ago, I know we can't get this game in America so I had to give it a go knowing that NZ is PAL territory… All I can say is that I'm the luckiest Mexican in NZ, this game is a masterpiece. A must indeed!

The best JRPG of it's generation and in my opinion the best JRPG of all time. Ambitious in it's scope, it somehow manages to provide jaw dropping vistas on hardware that is clearly showing it's age. A must play for fans of the genre and the perfect place to start for people wanting to try a JRPG. Becoming increasingly hard to find new, thanks Mighty Ape.

Excellent RPG. Instantly reminded me of the timeless Final Fantasy X. Highly recommended.

Hands down one of the best jrpgs I have had the played, biggest downside is me not playing it sooner.

After waiting for so long to get hold of this rare game i'd heard so much about and to actually sit down and play it, the only words that come to mind are…wow and amazing! If Monolithsoft can push the under-powered Wii to produce a game this HUGE and compelling, i'm very glad I bought a WII U and cant wait for their follow up next year!! Thanks Mighty Ape, you guys are great!

I haven't liked a JRPG since the SNES days. But this game took over my life for 2 weeks and I find myself wondering why.

The story is your typically poorly written JRPG tripe, but for the first time in a long time that didn't bother me and I found myself enjoying it immensely, I just found it so simply charming that I could ignore all the awkward dialog and moments and stereo-typical teen anime characters.

The music is gorgeous (I now own the soundtrack), The side quest keep you busy, the battles look great and keep you entertained, the world is so stunningly beautiful and huge I found myself just randomly running around enjoying it.

All in all, this is simply the best game the Wii released in 2011, I reckomend this to everyone, even people who typically don't like JRPGS.

I don't know why Nintendo were so reluctant to release this game in the west (especially since thier games have recently been subpar, and Metroid: Other M been pure garbage).

Like everyone else says – huge game and a real masterpiece. Surprisingly engaging story, great visuals throughout. Reminded me why I like video games, really drew me in!
