Customer Reviews

The blue dragon
I bought this for my 12 yr old daughter. the first couple of hours she said it was a hard game, 3 days later she had defeated the whole game. She said it was a lot of fun though and she really liked it.

Lots of fun, but don't expect to be challenged to much
Blue Dragon is well worth the price of admission, if not just for the artwork. Its a lot of fun, although it can get repetitive fighting monsters in the Wild. I love the character developement Shu- the hard headed and determined one. Jiro- intelligent and caring. Klute-Voice of Reason and balances the team out. MaruMaru - an innocent child-like creature caught up in this mess. Zola- Mercenary , possibly with her own agenda....and Nene- The evil nemesis that takes enjoyment in others suffering.

Great Job...just remember that Shu is NOT a young Goku!

J-RPG at last
It's about time that a good RPG comes to the xbox360.
The graphics are great.
The storyline is tangled with drama.
The gameplay is traditional.
If you love Japanese style RPG and Dragon Ball, you love this.
All RPG fans should check it out at this new lower price.
