In Blue Dragon, the party members’ shadows perform the combat actions, not the little kids.

I haven’t completed Blue Dragon yet, but with almost 40 hours put into the game and being on the last of the three discs, I figured now was a good time to seriously evaluate the game. I’ve been enjoying the game for the most part – it has its share of annoyances but it plays well enough that I expect to easily be able to make my way through the game and get all the Achievements.

For those of you that enjoyed the classic role playing games (RPGs) that we grew up with on the SNES, you’ll find a similar charm here in Blue Dragon and I encourage you to read this review (and consequently get the game). But for those of you that don’t enjoy RPGs or started RPGs after they became more mainstream with Final Fantasy VII, Blue Dragon will most likely be a let down for you and I recommend skipping it.
