  • Summary: STAR OCEAN: THE LAST HOPE continues the franchise's soaring space opera, blending science fiction with fantasy for a unique RPG experience. The refined gameplay features four party members and team-oriented combat, while maintaining the innovative real-time battle system that has become a trademark of the STAR OCEAN franchise. The year is S.D. 10. In the aftermath of World War III, humanity voyages into the stars in search of a new home - and a second chance. A prequel that combines sci-fi and fantasy elements, spanning multiple planets and the vastness of space itself to recount the origins of the STAR OCEAN universe. Exhilarating combat expands upon the franchise's famous real-time battle system, including the amazing graphics and visual effects only possible on Xbox 360. Features CG movies by Visual Works, the cutting-edge studio whose previous work includes cut scenes for the acclaimed Final Fantasy RPG series. [Square Enix]… Expand

    Star Ocean: The Last Hope will draw you in with it's great action, easy to use team system and it's solid story. Another great Square Enix title for the Xbox 360.

    I have played every single Square Enix RPG over the last several years and I have to say this is by far their best game story wise and while there is a few small issues with disc swapping and if you are not paying attention you will have to back track, this is one incredible game to play and is a must own for all RPG fans.

    If you're already a fan of the RPG genre, this will both disappoint and entice you, but in the end leave you satisfied.

    Definitely the best star ocean along with Star Ocean 2! The battle system couldn't get any better than this really. And the graphics just WOWed me! this game is up there on the top of the list as long as graphic is concerned on current generation console. I love how the atmosphere this time, really keeps on the sci-fi feels as it should be. Unlike SO3, where half of the game were set on medieval setting (Really, it's suppose to be a space opera for god's sake!) anyway, i'm really glad they make it right this time! Did i say i love this game?… Expand

    The best part of this game is the combat. The characters are cliched and the voice acting makes you want to tear your ears off. This game is more or less for those who like every JRPG regardless.… Expand

    Pretty typical JRPG, but the re-release with improvements and extra content on the PS3 without DLC to add to the Xbox 360 version was basically a slap in the face to their supporters. Not going to be one anymore; game offers little enjoyment unless you are a fan of the series.… Expand
