Record of Agarest War Limited Edition (Xbox 360)

I didn't know what to expect when I purchased this game but I must say I am glad I got it. The gameplay is fun and the basics are easy to grasp. There are quick tutorials in the first few battles that give good explanations for the various options during battle so there is no confusion. The more you play the deeper the battles can become depending on how you play. New characters and formations are introduced that really allow you to decide how you want to play. Certain formations are better for defense while others excel at offense and there are other formations that can give stat boosts depending where you place your characters. Another good point is that the game offers three difficulty levels so the player can pick a difficulty that best suits there skill level. I have played with all three difficulty levels active and there is a difference that becomes more apparent as you progress further into the game. Easy mode is very good for players who don't play many tactics based RPGs and allows you to focus more on the story. Normal is good for just about anybody who enjoys tactics based RPGs and has some skill in them. Hard on the other hand starts off not to bad but gets really intense later on. So be prepared with the best tactics you can muster or you will end up being very frustrated very quickly. The story so far has been better then I expected and the ability to bond with some of the characters really adds a fun element to the game as certain choices will effect how those characters feel about you. In the end this is a fun game with lots to offer for most gamers. Oh and the mouse pad and pillow case are actually good quality as well so don't think there just going to send you some cheep freebies. The soundtrack is also rather good and is worth a listen if your a fan of game soundtracks. Have Fun!

I am glad I picked this game up while you still can get it. This limited edition bundle pack is the coolest special edition bundle I've ever bought for a good price, the bundle comes with a cushion pad for your computer mouse shaped like an anime girl with two silocone cushions shaped like boobs, a sound track, and a pillow case with an anime girl on it. Besides the fact that the bundle is cool, the game itself is really good, some people are comparing it to disgea 3 but I think it's easier to grasp on to. The tutorials are easy to understand and moving your characters around and choosing commands is easier than on disgea 3 I think. The graphics look really cool for a srategy rpg, most the time the battle layout is blocky and sometimes hard to see through obstacles, not on this game, everything is crystal clear. The cutscenes make you feel right at home if you are used to the whole japanime sequences, voices are done in japanese with english subtitles,( you can't choose different langauge).And just like most strategy rpgs, the freedom of adventuring is very scarce,you choose where you go on the world map and you eather get an event sequence or get thrown into battle, after winning battles expereince is tallied up by how much time it takes to win, and how well you did in the battle.When entering towns you can shop for items, visit a blacksmith to power up weapons and accessories, or visit the adventures guild and unlock titles you get for acomplishing certian tasks and you get rewards depending on what you did.So if you like strategy rpgs then you will want to get this game while you can, only 100,000 copies where made so don't waste any time and get this game.

ROAW is an SRPG... there aren't too many of these nowadays. We have Spectral Force 3... which was decent, but nothing compared to this. This game ranks up there with the top SRPG's of all time, way up there with FFT and Hoshigami! Looking past the sex appeal, you have a brilliant game here. Not to mention, the packaging is amazing. Everyone buy this now, as it only has one print run... So it's already out of print. Once these 100,000 copies sell... It's gone forever, and prices will skyrocket!!!
