Gametrailers Review - 8.0

"The Last Remnant is a hard game to judge. A person's enjoyment of it will be directly related to how much they can tolerate persistent graphical issues. If you can get past it, there's a lot to enjoy in the smart design decisions and its unique battle system."

Re: The Last Remnant

It's on sale at Futureshop for $40 this week. I got it anyway despite planning to wait untill the PS3 version came out since the rental is never in and it's still $30 trade-in at Blockbuster so it'll balance out anyway if it's crap.

Re: The Last Remnant

For reference, here's how I would rank the current-gen JRPGs:

Tales of Vesperia
Lost Odyssey
Last Remnant (could still move up or down obviously)
Disgaea 3
Valkyria Chronicles
---Mendoza Line---
Operation Darkness
Infinite Undiscovery
Eternal Sonata
Blue Dragon
Enchanted Arms

Here's my revised ranking. Game became extremely tedious.


Tales of Vesperia
Lost Odyssey
Disgaea 3
Valkyria Chronicles
Last Remnant
---Mendoza Line---
Operation Darkness
Infinite Undiscovery
Eternal Sonata
Blue Dragon
Enchanted Arms

I assume the Mendoza line means you don't like it?

It is above the Mendoza line so it was slightly enjoyable.

I wasn't referring to Last Remnant, but just the line in general.

So no enjoyment from Eternal Sonata and Infinite Undiscovery?

I stuck with both of those games for, at least, ten hours each. Some of it may have been enjoyment, I suppose.

I forgot all about this game until I checked the used section at Amazon. Anyone else have any impressions on it?

I played a little bit at my friend's house and it just didn't catch me for the 30 minutes I put in. I found myself mainly put off by the voice acting during in-game cutscenes (maybe Mass Effect has spoiled me) and how the characters only seemed to open a mouth.
