Eternal Sonata

sooo yeah... Eternal Sonata... this game is pretty epic in the sense that its biographical and gives history lessons through-out... the idea behind the game is you're in the dream world of Frederic Chopin while he is in a coma from tuberculosis... (pretty wild idea IMO)... you progress through the game and learn more about Chopin's life and this history of his homeland during his era, through the use of cut scenes, cinematics, and photographs trailed with narration...

graphically this game is great... it uses cell shaded characters (im such a fan for this style since i become reminiscent of old rpgs) with full 3d surroundings...

sounds are superb... what else could you expect from a game about a famous piano prodigy...

characters are hilarious... each has a weapon based from an instrument... your primary character Allegretto uses a sword thats also a stringed instrument...

story is immersive and easy to relate to since its biographical

this game is just a great one... for anyone that loves classical music its a must... only complaint is that the combat is too easy... it gets to the point where your characters are just so over powered that it becomes a waste to fight a boss...
