Xenogears

Xenogears has all the right tools to be a great RPG, and it is. It has a great story and a very thrilling fighting system. Do yourself a favor and get this game. Yes, it is a little pricey but it is worth it.

This game is easily one of THE BEST RPGs ever made. I played this game for the first time when I was around 10 years old. I am now 18, and I STILL love this game. The game has a great story-line, interesting character line-up, and pretty decent graphics for a PS1 game. Combat system is easy to follow, and the combat stays fresh by integrating not only hand-to-hand combat, but allowing your characters to use their Gears (Giant Mechs, made specifically for combat). 2 Discs long, so there's a lot of game to play. This game is, and will always be, one of my personal favorites overall.

I played this game 10 years ago. I can still say that this is one of most memorable experiences of my teens. (lol yeah I was geek.)
I think the greatest feature of the game was story which was always interesting. I will warn you though that the story is really heavy and questions our very existence.

One word can only describe this game, "Amazing". If your looking for an amazing storyline this is it. The story is a mixture of freindship,love,reigion, and saving the world. Characters are really attacted to the game.Other than the storyline itself there is a downfall to the game and thats the camera angles, It gets really annoying at times but you learn to cope with it. People who posted poor reviews about this game probably got lost in the story. When you get lost in the story thats when it gets boring and confusing. I would recommend to more mature rpg games because it can get complicated.

As an avid gamer with well over 5,000 hours under my belt playing RPGs, I can easily say this is the best game I ever played.
