What Gamespot Users have to say about Lost Odyssey

It's less a celebration of what made older RPGs great and more a crude relic of their past.
The latest project from Final Fantasy creator Sakaguchi's Mistwalker studio, Lost Odyssey aims to ape the style of classic RPGs. While it's certainly playable, it feels like more of a relic than perhaps its creators int... Read Full Review

Good, but not good enough.
This game is a basic RPG, there's not anything innovating about it but that's not really a bad thing. The one thing that is a little different is how some of the characters learn skills. They learn them from other charac... Read Full Review

This gem of a game is everything you'd want from a Japanese role playing game..
Lost Odyssey could easily have been the next Final Fantasty game. In fact, I think it would definitely have made a better FFXII game. The story in Lost odyssey is probably its strongest point. As cliche as it is, you'll ... Read Full Review

Not quite Final Fantasy quality, but still a great RPG.
Lost Odyssey is a traditional turn-based RPG made by the producer of the original Final Fantasy games with music by legendary composer Nobuo Uematsu. Sounds like a formula for a great game. As the game unfolds, you are i... Read Full Review

For fans of jrpgs this is manna from heaven. It's not innovative, but subtle, beautifully presented and fascinating.
I'm at a loss to understand the general ambivalence from the professional critics towards this game. It seems that they feel that any game that is not in some way revolutionary cant achieve high marks. Oblivion was an as... Read Full Review

Whilst Lost Odyssey doesn't break away from the traditional JRPG mold, it still sets itself apart from the pack.
Lost Odyssey is a game that doesn't do away with certain JRPG traditions. We still have the typical cast of characters, from the brooding main hero, to the young children fighting to save the world. Lost Odyssey tells... Read Full Review
