Reviews Summary
Rogue Galaxy is what every RPG should strive to be
Engaging and accessible story, an intuitive control scheme
The game isn't a masterpiece, amount of content is staggering, art direction is stunning
"Dragon Quest VIII," "Kingdom Hearts 2," Rogue tops them all.
Wondrous and sublime, a wealth of RPG riches
A developer working at the height of their powers
A yarn is only as good a s the characters knitting it, Level-5 has learned
At sixty hours of play I've got another sixty I could easily pour in
Probably and sadly the last great RPG that the fading PS2 will see

Elderly, were you aware your review summaries look like abstract acrostic poems...
Holy feck!!!! Is this what the tee total life has done to me???
Oh well Friday tomorrow... That's my drinking day... Hurrah!!!
indeed FC, Gnome was the first to spot it, i await the day when kismet spells an entire word correctly, that word will be my beacon in the night.... a guide to the next great trek in my life.... be grateful you have found your place in the grand order.
Friday is indeed a good day for drinking..... the other six have merit also....
I saw the trailer on this game on 1up and it amazed me. I swear those look like cell-shaded graphics? I was wondering when someone would get around to do this. And it's a decent RPG to boot. I'll need to add this to my list for PS2. We might not see many of these gems.
A beautiful game it seems, all cel-shaded and smat, but RETDWAAAP?
I hadn't even heard of this game before, but it looks pretty awesome going on graphics alone. I think I'll look into this. Cheers Elderly!
yep timerunner the trailer looks ace, heartening to see a console with longevity, wish microsoft had put the same concern into the original xbox.
RETDWAAAP is short for
Righteous Elves Thwarting Desolation, War and Anti-Aircraft Personnel.

love this game... this is new for me ( rpgs) at least in vidio formats (D&D was nearly 20 years ago) - but neverind. I'm just surfing for a bit cuz the game has me ready to friggin throw my controler.. I haven't resorted to finding a walkthrough to fix my "huh?" - but these damn towers are driving me batty. ther ain't no dame way to get to the other "section" of the thing. Im on the wrong floor on the it and have been going in circles for about four hours. Someone wanna send me a hint of a "split" in the path on Which floor in Which tower? I'm about ready to use a maze solvers solution and go to the right wall the whole damn thing till I find a way "elsewhere" I want those damn keys!!!
totosolus @ yahoo iffen anyone has pity on an old fart ... and for the two of you laughing at me... hey, I wasn't born with a controller in my hand. Hell I din't even watch TV until I was about 9... folks had the money, just not the interest. My sons both tease me, but hell, my first computer was an Osborn with a 5 inch screen and 64K RAM. yeah - K... not megs or gigs or terra.
price was aobut the same as now for a fairly good one... 1500 bucks. But that was in 82.
9ight all... its 2am an my brain has done faded.
Love and light
