Summary: Kinda like a movie
Comment: hmm.
this i a great game, But it takes patience getting into.
the cinematics in this game are a big part of what makes it so enjoyable.
I'd say, at times it's kinda like playing thorought a movie. the battle system in the game is quite good, and it's rather inovative as well.
Overall, the game was heavily story based and less game-play oriented.
there is hardly a wrong way to do anything in the game, it's very straightforward.
So, if you are looking for a really good story to play through, pick this game up, it's great. =]

Summary: Alot going on
Comment: It's tough to keep in mind that this is the first part in a series. With that said, I think there might be too much going on. It can be difficult to keep up with the story line. In addition to that it can seem like it is dragging on. However, the game play is pretty cool, I do like how the battle system is set up. Over all I am pretty anxious to see this thing through to the end.

Summary: Tired of Final Fantasy? This is your game!
Comment: Having exhausted myself of Final Fantasy (from the PS1 all the way through the PSX) I decided to walk on the wild side and try this game.
Boy was I pleasently surprised!
If you happened to play Xenogears for the PS1, this game is loosely based on events that occured in that game.
One thing this game has going for it is a story. Many reviews peg the game time at 80 hours but don't worry: A great portion of this is made up of those cinematic events!
I've only completed the first 2 portions of the game but I am well impressed enough to provide ratings for this game:
Graphics: 9/10
The cinema events in this game will simply blow you away. Keep in mind if you've seen the XBox 360 or PS3, you can't compare the graphics of the 2 systems (duh!). But compare this game to other PS2 releases and I assure you the graphics hold up just fine to any other PS2 game, and in many cases far exceed them. In battles, the special effects are impressive, from Shion's Ray attack to KOS-MOS R-Blade. Tecmo defintely had a winner with the graphics from this game.
Sound: 9/10
The music often fits the mood of the situation perfectly. I was definitely on the edge of my seat in the level where you are trying to evade the Gnomis without getting touched! Now, my ONE gripe with this so far is the music doesn't change for bosses as it does with other RPG's. This is slightly annoying but a minor complaint.
Sound effects are right in place and very good.
Presentation: 9/10
So far, the game directs you well in where to go, but allows a lot of freedom on how to get there. There are several paths, for example, you can take on the ship level to get around.
Add in the email system, the ether system and the ability to extract skills from different items you can equip and you've got a very deep experience here.
Lasting Appeal/Overall: 9.5/10
If you are tired of ordinary RPG's and want something different, Xenosaga Episode 1 is definitely for you. It can be had for around 10-15 bucks in most used game stores and is well worth the investment. You'll definitely spend a lot of time exploring the game dynamics, which are very much in-depth both in battles and in strategy.
This game does have some language (hence the "T" for teen) so if you happen to have a kiddie (8-12 or so) I'd be careful about this one.
But if you've got a teenager (or you're a kid at heart) who loves RPG's and strategy, this is the game for you!
