Sudeki!!! Options

[Riel]

Picked up Sudeki for the XBox over the weekend.This game was billed as a RPG but it's more of an action/adventure with RPG elements.The battle system is very good i find,it's not turned based,it's real time and when you use your skills,special strikes or items like potions,the whole game slows way down,giving you a little more time to choose what to do.The game starts off slowly but as you meet your 3 other characters,things pick up.The story is good so far,i'm about 15 hours in and inside one of the best looking cave,dungeon,grotto i have ever seen.Which brings me to the graphics,one word,amazing...i love the environnements in the game,the villages look fantastic and so do the ennemies.The game is quite linear thouugh and the puzzle are very simple and some say they have finished the game in 20 hours.Gamespot gave the game a 6.5 but i feel this game deserves more.Personnaly i would give it a 8.5 overall,this is a great first try at an Action/adventure RPG from Climax,who are more known for their racing games.
