Lost Odyssey

Anybody else play this game. I just got the 360 last week and this was the game I got (wanted to get Assassin's Creed but only the 69.99 version was available - the one with the dumbass add-on trickets that I'd feel like a tool if I bought).

It's pretty good. I was a big fan of the Ultima series when I was young (played and finished III, IV, and V), so the turn-based combat system doesn't annoy me. The main problem is the extended video sequences and the fact that someimtes you have to play through 45 minutes of some action and mostly video sequences to get to the next 'save game' moment.
The graphics are amazing though, especially on a 58 inch 1080p screen.

Rent it from Blockbuster for $8, don't return on due date, then return 29 days after that and pay $1.50 restocking fee. Not much replay value, and definitely can be beaten or exhausted in a month or so.

A couple friends of mine have said that this game is fantastic.. looks like I'll have to give it a shot. I've been looking for a good RPG ever since I beat Mass Effect.
