The Bottom Line:
"Surprisingly good"
Well, I'm trying something different. I'm playing FFXI. This game is quit different, it's a little like Oblivion, but the way you play is a little like some of the LOTR games. Set up time on 360 is about 3 hours and takes up 5 gigs! You have to pay to play! It's $13.00 a month, Why? Well you're on someone else's server. This is and older game, about 3 years. Made for pc or PS2, and recently made for 360. One thing cool about this game and I would like to see it happen with others is that even though you're playing on your 360 you can interact with ppl on their PC or PS2. you can talk with them like you can with the 360, but you can tex them. I picked up a key board for my 360 it makes things alot easier. I have a ZBOARD now. It's pretty cool and it's made for gaming. It has keys for gaming, like movement, reload, crouch, switch weapons and all the other need things to play in a game.

Anyways I read some reviews and alot of ppl knocked the graphics! I myself feel that they're not to bad. I could understand that this game was basically made to play on the 360 and to totally re due the graphics for it being 5 gigs might of added some extra cost to the game. I feel alot of 360 gamers are not into these type of games that much a Xbox was taking a chance. You also get a couple expansion packs with the 360, to where on the other platforms you have to pay. This is a nice perk.

There is alot to learn and before you can go on any main missions you need to build your level up, just like Oblivion. This is time consuming. I've been pretty lucky to meet another gamer that has been helping me out. He's been like a mentor with this game showing me the ropes. You're able to pick your character like Oblivion. I'm an Elf Warrior w/ some mage skills( like my secondary power). I play with Burnout ( my friend) he's an Elf wizard. I kill things while he heals me. We both gain in our skills Also if you're fighting alone someone can and might come up to you and heal you while your battling a monster. This really surprised me. It's is a quit friendly atmosphere and the other gamers like helping out. If you have a question you can ask anyone for some help. This is pretty cool.

Now there are ways that you can hook up with other gamers already playing to what is called Party and play together as a team. There is alot of different ways of playing this game out and I'm interested in it. Like I said earlier I like the game. If you have some patients, like Role Playing story's, adventure, and the Oblivion time setting you might like this game, but there is alot to learn! Lots of buttons and typing to interact with others My rate is a strong 8.2.
