Xenoblade Chronicles

So recently I picked up a brand new Wii game that I thought about playing, because I was a diehard fan of Xenogears and Xenosaga. Xenoblade is made by the same people that brought Xenogears and Xensoaga but has a totally different world and story, and isn't related to the other Xeno games.
The game starts off with two giant titans fighting in a ocean, and they fight until they both die. So after the giants die after there big battle, people and machines known as Mechons live on the giant titans, and they fight constantly for survival. The Mechons are very hard to destroy, but luckily the humans found a weapon called the Monado which can easily pierce the armor of the Mechons but hurts the person that is holding the sword. So the game starts off in a war between the Mechons and humans, and introduces some of the main characters in the game. Dunban the one that wields the Monado who has beening using it the Monado for a while. Dickson who found the Monado before Dunban, a extremely strong swords person also. And Mumkhar kind of a coward person who doesn't want to die, he uses some sort of Claws. We soon finally find out that Dunban destroys all of the Mechon (or so we think he did). After the big battle with the Mechons a year pass's and we finally get control of our main character of the game Shulk who lives in Colony 9 a peace full place. The game starts off with Shulk near his Colony looking at some of the Mechons that where in the war that are now dead, and we also get to truly see how big the world is in Xenoblade Chronicles. It's just one huge field with monsters everywhere. Some of the monsters will not attack unless you attack and others will attack if you get to close to there home. The game has tons of mini boss's that you can fight and get more EXP. The game has tons of grinding to do, so expect to be playing this game for a while. I won't go much further in this review since I've only started and gotten so far. The game has tons of surprises that will make you want to play more, so if you are new to the Wii please get this game, or if you are bored please pick it up! It is a must Wii game.

Overall

Story: 9.3 (The story is very deep, and will have you wanting to play more)
Graphics: 7.8 (Even for a Wii game I feel like we have gone back in time)
Replay Value: 10 (This game has so much to do, you'll spend over 100s of hours if not more).
Music: 9.5 (lots of the music in the game will have you humming them to the very end)


Overall
This game is very deep with the story, and characters and there relationships. The open Field is beautiful and will having you want to run around. The game will have you grind levels so it might take a while before you can beat the game. The game runs smooth with no lag whats so ever.
Graphics are a bit behind but that's OK the game is still beautiful nevertheless. If you are new to the Wii, I suggest getting this game ASAP as this game story is addicting and will have you want to play more and more. There are side quests that will level you up quickly if you just wanna get through the game. Shops and Customizing your weapons are ideal to mastering this game. You can equip gems that increase your stats. And selecting your abilities for battle is also ideal for beating down enemies. The game is a perfect example of what the Wii games should of been when the Wii system first came out.

Score: 9.0

 

My gosh we should, because Xenosaga 3 was my all time favorite. The best battle was with Shion, lol just because it was super fun beating her up.

 

I didn't want to buy it either, I thought for a wii game that it was a bit expensive, but really this game was worth it. It's just so open worlded lol. The characters take time getting used to but I don't care I loved Xenosaga that I'm pushing all the graphics aside. And enjoying the game.
