Edge have give it a 9/10 and a gushing review..thought it was going to get a 10/10 while i was reading it.Just been listening to the soundtrack and its fantastic…cant wait for tomorrow.

Xenoblade Chronicles is a Massive JRPG which is out tomorrow only on the Wii.The director Tetsuya Takahashi credits also include Chrono Trigger,Secret of mana and Final Fantasy v among others.Checkout Edges review on their website or the reviews up on Metacritic..the game world is massive and free roaming and it really pushes the Wii in every way…the soundtrack is amazing.IGN are calling it the best JRPG of this generation and im really hoping the community get behind this game.

Love the soundtrack…

14 hours in now and i cant believe how big this game is…

Your in for a right treat mate..ive just hit 20hrs game time and im round about lvl 31.It gets better and better every hr you play.The first 4 hrs are the most restrictive after that it opens up into the biggest game world ive seen…and it looks stunning.The battle system evolves over time and im unlocking modes and moves still..i think ive just scratched the surface of the game.Easily the best game ive played in a very long time…enjoy.

Nice one..hope alot more people pick this up…if you love games you have got to play this.Im 24 hrs in and at a pretty big boss fight..who happens to be a few lvls higher so im all about the grind at the minute aswell as doing a few side quests for the extra XP and just exploring this epic world..sat in Gaur Plains watching the sunset is awesome..enjoy.

Good call chaps.

Six hours in, just about got used to the battle system and now I've got visions of the future from the Monado to deal with.  Just so incredibly good.  No wonder they're begging for a North American release.

The only other JRPG I've played in recent times is FFXIII, and while the combat system in that was excellent, Xeno's combat feels so much better.  How did somebody come up with this system?  Has it been 'borrowed' from another game, or has it stolen the best parts of many games and mixed it up into the sweetest real-time combat cake that I've ever tasted?

Even the gem crafting is super awesome.  How the bloody hell did they come up with that?  I can't help but be reminded of the 'mining planet' sections of ME2.  A seemingly lazy mini-game which no-one enjoyed.  Why couldn't they have come up with something as ingenious as the gem crafting game?

I've hardly played any games this year.  Nothing could touch Monster Hunter.  Although I'm still early on, Xenoblade has taken me, toyed with my soul, and reminded me why I love playing games so much.  Thank the lord for the Japanese.

Just a final point to echo Cramtheman's sentiment, if you own a Wii then you need to own this game.  Definitely on the game of the year shortlist.

Somebody put that video on the front page!  It's incredible!!!

I wish I could play with Japanese speech.

Good man.  I'll definitely be sinking some more hours into it over the weekend.

I think co-op would break the combat system too much.  It's really hard to explain how good it is, although my earlier cake analogy works for me.

I do love me some Zelda but I can't see how Skyward Sword is going to be able to compete with this.  Could it be the Wii's swansong?

Hey..sorry to harp on again but ive probably had one of the best nights gaming ever tonight and its all down to this stunning game.No spoliers here but upon dispatching a high lvl boss the story has taken me to a location that just made my jaw hit the floor with its size and beauty..i arrived upon this location just as the sun was setting and i just put my controller down for about 20 minutes and sat and watched the stars come out and WOW..it was probably the finest sight ive ever seen in gaming…the clouds,stars nebulas and constellations..just stunning.The videos on youtube,how great they are,dont do this game justice..this is a must buy game and id even say buy a Wii just to play this..its that amazing…Final Fantasy..ye whatever..its got nothing on this..anyway im off to get a few more hours in before bedtime..will keep you posted.

When i got to this certain boss which was about 5 lvls higher then myself i fast travelled back to the other areas to complete and open up other quests to get the xp i needed.You can travel to any landmark anywhere once youve discovered it…also change the time of day.Some people and quests only appear at certain times of the day and during certain weather conditions.Yon can check this out in the character affinity menu i think..which is another brilliant idea.Ye love it that if you die its just back to the nearest landmark….just as it should be aswell.Most games by the 25 hr mark have usually revealled all their game mechanics and modes..this is still throwing stuff at me..youll know what i mean soon enough…going to try and get another 2-4 hrs in again today..enjoy.

Its worth getting a pre owned Wii mate to play this..seriously…what are they going for now..£40-£50.The game is £29.99 so altogether its going to cost you about the price of two new games.The sights and sounds in this game are amazing..yep..the draw distances are insane..leading to some incredible vistas.
