With a lengthy 60-70 hours of gameplay, Origins is more than worth its value in longevity. Highly recommended.
A huge rpg (even longer than the first, which was already 60+ hours) that lights up a system nearly deceased at this point in time. [JPN Import]
Baten Kaitos Origins will not sway dissidents of turn-based RPGs, but the peculiar aura and lively battles are commendable, and its plot is strong in spite of its clichés.
While it may look awfully similar to the first, don't be fooled: Origins tests negative for sequelitis.
Baten Kaitos Origins' complex card-battle system and punishing foes weigh the game down, but it's a worthy adventure for role-playing fans who relish a challenge.
If your lonely GameCube is starved for a new RPG, this is your best option. [Nov. 2006, p.139]
Even though it pushes a new type of battle system, a huge step for any RPG, Baten Kaitos Origins reshuffles the series' deck and comes up with a hand that I wouldn't bet on.
