9.0 Presentation
An outrageous yet endearing tale that’s cleverly crafted with great care.
9.0 Graphics
The attention to detail is evident around every corner. The vibrant art style is downright attractive.
8.5 Sound
How can you complain about Chopin? The original tunes aren’t bad, either, though the voice acting could be better.
7.5 Gameplay
The evolving battle system keeps the game fresh, but Eternal Sonata isn’t as deep as what many RPG fans are used to.
7.5 Lasting Appeal
You’ll get your money’s worth with 20-30 hours of gameplay, but this isn’t the sort of game that you’ll play over and over again.

Eternal Sonata - 9.17.200709.10.07 @ 06:56 pm ( LINK )Just one more week until Eternal Sonata releases! What intrigues me most about Eternal Sonata is the combat system in the RPG. You're rewarded for careful battle coordination, and the combat is also influenced by light and darkness, undergoing massive changes to attacks, abilities, and even physical forms. Here's a short summary of the game:
Eternal Sonata follows the adventures of famed composer Frederic Chopin as he travels through his own dream world filled with colorful characters and stunning locales. In a land where music influences both combat and exploration, Chopin sets out on a journey not only of self-discovery, but also one of redemption.
