Grandia Xtreme

After playing Grandia 2, I was really excited about playing Grandia Xtreme.
While it is consuming my time and I am addicted, there are quite a few flaws.

Graphics - The menus look clean and pretty. Framerate is nice and smooth. However, most models are blocky. The IP gauge is now a circle that is so cluttered, it's difficult to read and confusing to look at. Top that off with poor choices in fonts for the text, a resolution that doesn't look clear on a TV and it is very difficult to read. The CG movies look good, but they offer little drama or excitement.
When running around in dungeons, your view is now in a 3rd person 3D format which requires camera adjustment, rather than the overhead view. It can be difficult to tell where monsters are coming from because of this. Draw distance is also very low making objects and monsters hard to see unless they're right next to you.

Sound - The music is loud and theatrical. It is well done, but in some cases can get...

It is the best game I have ever played. It goes on forever. yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. it is the best.It could not be better. It is the best. Wooooooooooooooooooooooooo HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. thats why it should be 9.99999999999999 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 . it could not be better. i hope this rewiew is helpful.

THE GOOD:
Read da comments

THE BAD:
I insist that u read the comments

SUMMARY:
Decent Graphics. Dont expect the best graphics a PS2 game can give, but it does the job.
Good Sound: Part of the fun is the competent soundtrack of this game. It keeps u pumped!
Gameplay: Simply the best. Grandia Xtreme has the best battle system ever created for RPGs making you wanting to fight till your fingers fall.
Story: The same save-the-world theme that are comon in 99% of RPGs, characters are fun and the hero is nice, but the rest are somehow inexpressive.
Overall: Its a good game. If you can pay for it, loves RPGs, alikes Grandia, or is insane for action go fo Grandia Xtreme

THE GOOD:
Excellet Batlle System, perfect fussion of real-time, and turn-based.

THE BAD:
Character voice actors were corny. The syntax, and enunciation of the script sucked as well.

SUMMARY:
They should have used someone elses voice for the main characters voice. This guy is a real wennie. Lance Bass would even be a better candidate! The way the script was recorded was horribe. There would be puases in the dialoug where none should have been. They would take one sentence and turn it into three.

THE GOOD:
The battle system.

THE BAD:
Lack of story.

SUMMARY:
Grandia Xtreme is a good game but it'll be better if they put more interesting and longer story.Grandia series have the best battle system ever!!This game is a dungeon hack right?So dungeon RPG with this type of battle system is @#$%ing sweet if you're a dungeon and Grandia fan that is(hehe).

Da BATTLE SYSTEM RULEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

High adventure has always been a hallmark of Game Arts' role-playing games, but the legendary company wasn't always so renowned. In the days of the Sega CD, Game Arts' first localized effort was Silpheed: a mildy successful, if not shallow, shooter. It wasn't until the release of Lunar for the selfsame console that the fledgling company had finally earned critical acclaim as well as a comfy niche in a relatively unexplored genre. The adventures of Alex and co. would become a fan favorite, prompting Game Arts to capture the heart of that wondrous quest to create an adventure about… adventure. From this desire, Grandia was born. While Lunar was a simple tale of a boy living out his childhood dream of becoming a hero, Grandia told the story of three children caught up in an unforgettable journey across a fantastic world. The fundamental theme of youthful adventure that made Lunar memorable was kept in trust with Grandia. The incredible voyage of Justin was an experience that most...
