All in all, Blue Dragon will appeal to fans of the Japanese RPG genre, and also has unique qualities that set it apart from the genre in many ways that might appeal to gamers who aren't such huge fans of RPGs. Just stay alert in the endless cutscenes incase the game expects you to play in the blink of an eye! If you do miss those cutscenes, just think to yourself "It could be worse, I could have bought Two Worlds instead!"
Blue Dragon is available now on Xbox 360 for $59.99 in America, and £39.99 in Europe.
Blue Dragon has been rated suitable for ages 12+ by the PEGI for Bad Language and depictions of Violence.
Blue Dragon is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB for Alcohol Reference, Crude Humor, Fantasy Violence, Mild Language, Mild Suggestive Themes.

Thanks Michael, I try to cover all the important aspects (both good and bad) in my reviews, and with a game as expansive as BD, then that means the reviews can get a little lengthy.
Some people like the long ones, and some prefer more of a "snapshot" review...but I always try to write about what I would think is important as a consumer, and that means covering some of the little details, as well as the big picture. I'm glad you agree.
Happy Holidays, and I hope you enjoy BD as much as I did.
