I seriously think this is one of the best games made for the 360 so far. Has anyone else bought/played it yet, and if so what do you think?

I haven't gotten it yet. I almost bought it, but decided against it. Ended up buying CoD4, and regret it. Can you go into a little more detail on the game, namely the replay value of it ?

You literally go around the whole universe, going to different galaxy's, and planets, and you're basically a rougue uhmm bounty hunter i guess. . . can't really explain exactly what ur role is called. The official name is you're a Spectre. About the replay value, I'm not too sure, i know that there are a bunch of achievements that say that u have to play at least 85% of the game as different characters, so each character obviously has a different story, timeline, etc to it. And yes, it's 100% roll playing game, so u literally control what happens to you. I rented it, didn't even get to the 3rd planet your supposed to go to, it's VERY VERY in depth.

i would give it a 9/10 overall.

I woulnd't buy it myself, cause RPG's aren't my thing.

Is it something that once you beat it you'll never play it again, unless you're going for the achievements ?

Nah, the game is way to big to just play once.

Syko · 01-10-2008

That's like saying that you'll play Oblivion 3-4x. I have a hard time staying focused long enough to play it through once.

Yah, when i had it, i could only play for like an hour, maybe two at the most before getting bored. So the first playthrough will take a while im sure, then the 2nd and 3rd playthrough (if you do) won't take as long, but the point of a 100% role playing game, is that you can play it a bunch of different ways.

Basically It's very similar to Fable in a sense of good and evil, each dicision you make and thing you say, affects if you tend to go in the evil path(renegade) or the pure path(paragon). So it automatically has a very good replay value just because of the fact that one playthrough you can be all good, then the next, you can do everything evil and go through the game as a renegade.

The ONE thing that will decide if you enjoy it or not, is if you enjoy RPGs, the playthrough value, length, gameplay, story is all irrelevant, if you don't like playing RPGs (like Fable, Star wars: KOTOR, etc) then you will most like not like it.

I love RPGs, it just seems like every time I get ready to sit down and play for a little while, I have something come up. Then when I can finally make time to play it again, I don't remember where I was/what I was doing etc.

Then it takes me an hour or so to get all engrossed in it, and I have to fucking quit again.

I love rpg's too (mainly of the final fantasy persuasion),and pretty much everyone says this is a great game. Chances are I'm going to buy it eventually.
