this review be come from a 32 year old woman who prefer simple side-scroller like Mario . I usually do not like RPG 's , but this game have such great review I decide to give it a try . plus there be a limited number of 3d game out there at the time and I want to expand my library . firstly , you should know that this game barely utilize the 3d function of the 3d . it be only use in the opening scene and when you fuse demon . I find this very disappointing at first , but the sheer awesomeness of the game soon make I forget about the 3d . I do not play video game much now that I be a adult and do not have a ton of free time , but this game have I addict ! I have not be this addict since pokemon first come out . the story be fantastic and keep you engage , they teach you the control gradually so it be not too complicate to learn , and the demon auction and fusion keep the ` addictive collector ' in I satiated . the voice acting be terrific ; usually you do not get this much dialogue in a game . I like that you do not have to read all of the dialogue if you do not want to ; just sit back and let the character talk . I will say there be a learning curve as with most game . after have to re-start 2 time already , I have learn to save my progress multiple time just in case I make a stupid decision when fuse demon or buy the wrong demon or something . it be a pain to start over after put in 8 hour of gameplay . it can be easy to ` paint yourself into a corner ' so to speak if you do not know what you be do at first . so I hope my review help you decide if you want to purchase this game . really , I do not think you can go wrong with this one !
