A new generation beauty with a wonderful synopsis and ost. A beautifully designed game, like reading a book, a unique adventure. Although it is not for everyone because it has a strong focus on enjoying the beauty rather than exciting battles is a unique game that no person who is deemed Wii player must lose.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Could this be the perfect game? Well... a post-apocalyptic world to explore. A mysterious storyline dealing with the aforementioned dystopia, as well as ghosts and demons. Fantastic art and production values highlighted by beautifully rendered cinematics and finally a main character who wields a flashlight controlled by the Wii remote. Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon has got all that in its package. You play as a young boy named Seto as he searches for human survivors after most of the human race has died out. At the beginning of the game Seto's mentor (who he calls grandfather) tragically dies and he is left alone. For the most part, the game revolves around exploring the post-apocalyptic Japan. While the story is intriguing, what really brings this game home are the beautiful graphics and amazing audio. Fragile Dreams is an experience that is not only enjoyable visually, but it is a treat to the ears. The emotional elements – like a haunting loneliness that pervades the world, the despair resonating in the voices of the characters – are clearly in place and Fragile Dreams' development team, tri-Crescendo, has found the right mix for a game that is truly a wonderful experience. However, the haunting loneliness is also its downfall. The pace may be too slow for many gamers and it takes about an hour or so before the story really kicks in. For the first hour or two, you are just exploring and moving around a strange and freaky place. Whilst in its own right it is enjoyable, the fun starts to drain by the length of time it takes just to finish this small part of the game. The rest of the game starts to build up more quickly but it still isn't fast enough to suit many gamers. The truly wonderful experience is ruined by the slow-pace of the story and game-play. A game I wouldn't recommend however, some fans of horror may be patient enough to consider it enjoyable.… Expand

A truly excellent, criminally underrated game, sure the gameplay may not be the greatest, but that's not what Fragile is trying to impress you with. The story, music, atmosphere, and art direction are where it's at here, and it's all masterful. If you want a beautiful, emotional game with a post-apocalypse actually worth caring about, you need not look any further than Fragile Dreams.

A hauntingly beautiful adventure of a boy who could very well be the last living human on Earth. Gorgeous looks and sounds, and a touching take on concepts of death, solitude, and memories. It's just that the gameplay isn't there. Clunky combat and, towards the end, some truly horrible and mundane level designs. Brilliant story but shame about the game.

Don't get me wrong, this game is not flawless in all aspects, but in one word it is beautiful. Fragile Dreams is set where a scientist has created 'something' which allows him to understand people's emotions, however, all he could hear were bad things, many about him. This caused him to create an experiment, and one night, when all went to sleep, they never awoke, apart from a few lucky people. The world was now an empty barren land, and Seto leaves his home after becoming lonely, after the death of his Grandfather, leaving him completely alone in silence, with no one to talk to. If you have any feelings, this game will make you extremely sad or possibly cry. As Seto journeys around he sometimes stumbles across other people, but one being a robot and the other being a ghost, only one is a real person. The game is just lovely, but there are massive flaws with the combat which will mean you will wish to avoid it at almost all costs. The Critic's in my opinion are harsh. In another's opinion, they could be right. In another's, they could be generous. Your liking of this game will completely depend if you prefer the beautiful landscapes and art along with one of (or possibly the best and definitely most sad) the greatest story-lines ever composed by anyone, or more of a substance person who loves the fights and the RPGish elements. For me, this is a near perfect game, because although the flaws are so obviously evident, the story-line makes up for the flaws and more in this saddening, heart wrenching tale.… Expand

This is probably the best example of mixing gaming and poetry, aside from Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Fragile is the tale of a young boy left to his own device in a world devoid of humans after the death of his grandfather. It could seem like a strange mix of action and survival horror at first, but then you will notice how all of it is about the atmosphere: you find objects that tell you about dead people's emotions and last moments, manage to know some extremely interesting and endearing characters and explore many unique places in your quest to reclaim your humanity. The game was extremely sad sometimes, but by the ending credits I was happy to have been part of its world.… Expand

this is a game with weak gameplay but with a great art style and story it has a strong atmosphere that does make you feel lonely, its like a horror rpg game with a great sound track
