As the title says, this game is worth the wait. The story is interesting, Square did an excellent job in building out a believable but fresh world to explore, battles are fast paced and fun and the music constantly pulls me back in.
Pros:
- Story is interesting, really enjoyed most of the characters
- Graphics are top notch. Never thought I'd see a game this pretty.
- Gameplay is rock solid. A few pacing issues but no real complaints.
- The soundtrack is glorious. I could listen to it over and over again.
- The world and environment are really fun to explore and I enjoy finding hidden things all over the place.
- Leveling up is finally enjoyable again.

Cons:
- As fun as it is to battle this can the game easier than anticipated due to becoming over-leveled too easily.
- A few frame rate issues when things get crazy on screen.
- Pacing issues as you travel to/from different areas. (Luckily the world is so pretty and the music so wonderful it's not a huge deal)

The intergalactic war changed everything and left a terrible wake of destruction and death. The few Earth survivors who remain are destined to make new lives in a world that is full of vibrant beauty, but also home to lethal creatures and unknown dangers. Every day is a struggle for survival when your surroundings are so uncertain ~ death could wait in the form of an enormous and terrifying dinosaur, or the sting of the smallest insect. To find your way in this strange new place, you'll need to hone your abilities and sharpen your fighting skills ~ do you have what it takes to survive?Designed by the creators of Baten Kaitos and Xenoblade Chronicles, Xenoblade Chronicles X plunges you into a world ripped apart by intergalactic war in a massive sci-fi role-playing experience that pits you against a threatening environment teeming with dangerous creatures. Wage combat against powerful beasts, from tiny bugs to towering dinosaurs. Climb aboard a weaponized mech and explore the far corners of a sprawling open world created with vivid, detailed high-definition graphics. Align yourself with a class and begin developing Arts ~ combat and defensive skills that can be customized with an Arts palette as you learn new abilities. Your powers are substantial, but once an Art is cast, a cool-down period must pass before it can be used again. Customize your playing experience by personalizing the main character's appearance, including gender, shape, height, skin color, voice and tattoos. The challenge ahead is perilous ~ are you ready to forge your way in a strange new world?

This is a fun game. It's not really unique in any way other than the box art that made it stand out, at least to me.
But you'll enjoy it and get your money worth if you enjoy a classic take on the Japanese RPG. The music is good, graphics well done and by the end you'll feel satisfied as you beat the game.

Great for going digital
on January 18, 2016
Posted by: John
Using these cards is so much more secure than putting your card online with Sony's servers. Plus, I get Best Buy points by purchasing these from the store so it's a double win-win for me.
Just wait on sales (which Sony does frequently on PSN) and you'll more than get your money's worth.

Excellent camera for the money
on January 18, 2016
Posted by: John
I got this for my Dad for Christmas. My last experience with DSLR cameras was when I purchased my Nikon D40 many years ago.
This camera easily beats it in every way. The increase in megapixels, zoom, mirrorless lens technology (which is amazing by the way), etc.
You have to go out of your way to take a bad picture and even then it's still pretty good. Well worth the money.

It's not always the biggest, brawniest guy that ends up winning. Captain Toad may be small and he may not be able to jump very high or run fast, but what he lacks in sheer strength and size he more than makes up for in intelligence and perception. Embark on a solo adventure as the brave Captain Toad in Captain Toad Treasure Tracker. Arrayed with only a neck scarf, backpack and oversize head lamp, you'll have to primarily rely on your resources of wit and perspective to make it through a dangerous world brimming with treacherous enemies, puzzles, traps and secrets. Are you ready to set off on a mind-bending adventure filled with hidden threats?Captain Toad Treasure Tracker plants you in a world comprised of a wide variety of tricky, enemy-infested, maze-like stages where your main prerogative is to survive while you find hidden items and eventually nab the elusive gold star at the end of each stage. Each stage is its own puzzle that must be solved ~ all while collecting hidden items that are littered throughout in hard-to-reach places, such as gems, coins and powerups. Unveil secret locations and get a closer look at secluded dangers by using your Wii U GamePad's gyro controls to peer around. Do you have the necessary smarts to survive a profusion of puzzles, a ton of traps, plenty of platforms and an abundance of attackers? Survive each stage's secrets and seize the stars in Captain Toad Treasure Tracker.

Great platformer
on January 18, 2016
Posted by: John
Nintendo still has the magic. To take a small mini-game from Super Mario 3D World and turn it into a full-fledged game shows their genius.
This game is lots of fun and the creativity and development love put into each level will have you replaying levels over and over.

You've searched castle after castle for the princess, slid through too-many-to-count number of pipes, ridden Yoshi on thrilling adventures and tossed fireballs, flown, stood still like a statue and swam underwater. You've completed every level, found every warp world, battled with Bowser every time. You know the iconic levels so well, you can complete them with your eyes closed. Well, not any more.Get ready for the most creative, exciting and challenging Super Mario game to date with Super Mario Maker. Design, create and play your own levels on your Wii U GamePad, and then explore those levels created by Nintendo and players from around the world. Use your GamePad's touch screen to add enemies, blocks, pipes and more. Combine enemies, traps and items into unexpected twists to break conventions and add unique challenges. Choose from four distinct themes, such as Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U, each with unique art styles and features. Drop in the Mystery Mushroom item to transform into different characters at random, and unlock additional characters by completing 100 Mario Challenge mode or tapping in compatible amiibo figures. Are you ready to speed through courses in record fashion, battle Piranha Plant-shooting cannons, boost your abilities with powerup-tossing Lakitus and take on the Hammer Bros. riding on Bowser while bouncing on trampolines? Better yet, do all that, and then show off your own ideas.

This game is great. The best part is, of course, downloading popular levels created by others and trying to beat them.
However, making levels of your own and sharing them with family and friends to play is just as fun since you get to see them try to beat your levels and you're constantly trying to 1UP each other!

Love this movie!
on January 18, 2016
Posted by: John
This movie is great. The music is fantastic, it has an interesting story with a few twists and left me wanting more. It reminded me a bit of Space Odyssey 2000 and it felt like an homage to throwback Sci-Fi which I enjoy.

I've been waiting on this game for years since playing the original Xenoblade.
From everything I've seen online it seems to have excellent gameplay, beautiful music and (for the Wii U) some of the best graphics around!
Very excited to see this game released and can't wait for it to come out!

You only have yourself to blame
March 18, 2015
You clearly didn't read reviews, Type-0 is a handheld port from the PSP. Of course the graphics aren't going to look as good as a game designed for the PS4.
