Final Fantasy XIII

I got the chance to play this most coveted game on PS3 two days ago and boy it is so addicting! I started playing around 9 pm and I finished at 3 in the morning. The knowledge of having classes the next day is the only force that stopped me from playing. (Darn that three-hour class!)

Anyhow, the game's protagonists are Lightning, Snow, Sazh, Vanille and Hope. The real game started when the five were cursed by the fal'Cie to become l'Cies and the place turned into crystals. Their quest (I guess) is to find their Focuses and fullfill it, and also to protect the city of Cocoon.

What I like about the game is the Paradigm Shift in which a player can shift modes whether the characters attack independently or as a team; it is highly effective if there's right timing. One thing I don't like about the game is the Battle System. In order to attack in a fight, a player chooses sets of commands as the characters execute them to the enemies, it's like playing Pokémon on GameBoy. I was expecting more of an action-type fight just like in Tekken wherein the players are in full control of the characters.

Looking at the visuals and stuffs, the graphics are in striking details, players can even see the slightest physical feature of the characters and the places plus, the animation on fights is vigorous. The colors are very rich and vivid. My advice, play the game in HD TVs to have a complete gaming experience! Have fun playing! :D
