Story: Incoherent
Gameplay: More boring that WoW
Music: Mostly non-existent
Length: Gave up at 25 hours

This game sucks.

I really wanted to like it, because I loved Xenogears' story and wanted to add to it.

I played for 25 hours, even though I was pretty bored of it long before that, because I was hoping it would get better like Xenogears did.

I could go on and on about everything that sucks about this game, but instead I will just leave you with this one representative anecdote:

As you are running around in the game, you sometimes receive e-mails. Sometimes they are part of the plot. Sometimes they are essentially side quests. Sometimes they are advertisements for other Namco games.

Yes, that's right: While playing Xenogears, Namco spams you in-game.

What. The. Fuck.
