The battle system is terrible. And I had to talk to mice to advance through a dungeon. Huge dissapointment, I sold it to gamestop. =/

Easy wins have never been my style Posts: 719 Group: Admins Member #1 Joined: Jan 10, 2008 Gender Male	I think you've wrote it off too quickly. Yes, it starts slowly and my first impressions of the game were bad as well. I ended up putting it aside and playing Eternal Sonata instead. But alter on I got back to it, and it does get better. As for 'talking to a mice to proceed' that is only to access a hidden area in an early dungeon, it's nonessential to the game itself. Some of the challenges the game offers are incredible and quite ground breaking for an action RPG. Such as busting into castles, working together with 3 groups in some areas and heaps more. It's quite refreshing to play actually. It has plenty characters as well, the group combination options you have are great. While you have to use Capell all the time the character options you can surround him really do help, there are heaps of characters in the game, even some 'secondary' characters to make things a bit different. Almost Suikoden like. A slow start yes, but it gets way better, it's worthy of been a tri-Ace game. It's taken an Action RPG to a new level, you just need to get used to it's different style first, and then I found it was great!

I'm not hasty to make false assumptions about a game before playing them at least over halfway through. I've never dissed a game I hadn't played in full, because I always feel like the game could have a rough start, but eventually get interesting towards midway. If that's the only complaints the game has gotten (which seem undeniably mediocre in importance), then the game is probably worth a shot. So I'll be buying this.

They havent dissapointed me yet and i doubt they will, so yes i will definitely buy this game. This is the main reason i wanted a 360 in the first place, well and eternal sonata.

But still, Infinite Undiscovery is still a good quality action RPG. Just give it a good 5 hours or so to get used to things, you'll enjoy it more if you give it a real chance.

I tried hard to like it but the characters were SO unlikable (especially Edward) and the gameplay was pretty meh too. I felt it started to pick up right at the end but that was just too late >:( The story was alright. It was a bit different from yer usual which is nice but for me it wasn't strong enough to rid it of the games other sins since at times it was predictable. Second time through its defiantly better but I still couldn't say it was enjoyable.

I guess knowing that tri-Ace and Square Enix are capable of more is what hurts, more movie sequence scenes would have gone down nicely as well, I'm shocked at how few there are in it. It's disappointing that every character is a compulsory recruitment as well, that is not something I'm used to from tri-Ace either. I still found it worth two playthroughs though, the battle system was interesting enough and I enjoyed it's seamless transition between adventure and fighting, a bit MMO like in a way. Capell's development caught my attention as well, I love how he has titles for the characters in the menu's, and in particular when he loses it for a while.

But you don't have to use them all.You can separate them into teams,i almost always choose the same team:Capell[duh],Aya,Touma/Edward and Michiell.

You can't really give a fair view of a game unless you play the whole thing, I feel as though it gets better the more you play it.

Newtype Posts: 40 Group: Members Member #69 Joined: May 1, 2009 Gender Male	Yeah, I try to hold back my judgment until observing/playing something enough that I have a good understanding of it..I'll listen to a song 4 or 5 times until I decide "Win" or "fail". Anything you say is good, I'll give a chance, because you don't just go screaming "NEW NARUTO OMG ITS GOOD", you actually explain why it's good.
