Fooking knackered this morning, couldnt stop playing the game last night. Like Mass Effect, its more like an interactive movie, there are tons of cut scenes that play out the story and a $hit load of background info becomes available for reading as you progress through the game. Really should try get a good nights sleep tonight, but no doubt as soon as I start playing the game again, that idea will go straight out the window.

I thought about getting it but i got put off by the mixed reviews its gotten, plus i died inside a bit when i saw the word "grinding" :)

Grinding ain't normally so bad in Final Fantasy games, I remember I was stuck on a boss in FF8 so needed to level up a lot, but they usually provide places like The Island Closest To Hell ( I think it was called) that you could fly to and the mobs there gave a tonne of EXP n stuff, so levelling was pretty quick. I duno about FF13 though, might have changed since they brought out an MMO :P

Island closest to hell and island closest to heaven were to of my favorite location names. island closest to hell had the better mobs for levelling including that ridiculous marlboro.

The graphics on this game are awesome, the cut scene movies to the gameplay are seamless which is a really cool feature.

I have spent several hours playing this week and after the first hours are done the game play opens up nicely giving you more control over you toons with leveling up and equipment & weapons etc.

If you have a PS3 with a HDTV overall its one to have.
