On his deathbed, the famous composer, Chopin, drifts between this life and the next. In his final hours, he experiences a fantastical dream where he encounters a young girl facing a terrible destiny and the boy who will fight to save her. On the border between dreams and reality, Chopin discovers the light that shines in all of us in this enduring tale of good and evil, love and betrayal. Developed by Tri-Crescendo and featuring the music of Chopin, Eternal Sonata delivers amazingly detailed 3D graphics, a captivating storyline and an innovative action battle system. Listen as world-renowned pianist Stanislav Bunin performs Chopin's original compositions, which are a key element in the environment and story of Eternal Sonata ESRB Rated T for Teen.

If you play a lot of RPGs in your life, this is the best retail one on the 360 right now. Graphic and sound are great, just like watching an anime (Except the characters are just mouthing along with the dialog). Replay is a must. The gameplay is based on different levels. You start off with movements without time moving and time starts when you attack. In the end, the time based will start at the beginning of your turn, so be ready at all time. Wished it could have multiplayer like in Final Fantasy 6, this way you could have more time to plan your group. Overall, this game rocks with Chopin as a character and his music in the game. This game is a must for fans of RPGs.

Ah Eternal Sonata, I like this game. Overall the Graphics are nice nothing groundbreaking but it's the artistic direction that makes this game shine. As far as the Cell Shading goes it's one of the better ones out there. Sound: This is one of those things that if you are a fan of Classical music it's a masterpiece. Although that comes to no surprise since it's based off of Chopin’s work. Replay: There really isn't any once you beat if (Note I haven't beaten it yet) these games typically are done with unless you want to relive the story again. Game play: This one is nice the battle system is a half-breed of turn base/Action. There are strategy elements in that you can get different spells depending on if you character is in a lighted area or a dark area, which also affects the monsters you are battling as well, a refreshing concept. Single player: A good story again I haven't beaten it so I can’t really say too much on it other than so far it's good. Multiplayer: Now how can this game have MP?!? Well its a little known fact that you can have 3 players local control one of the characters on screen and to my knowledge the only RPG that let's you do so with one console. So you can get the whole family or at least 2 of them in on the game which is a nice feature IMO.

I didn't get a chance to play too much, but from what I did play, (about 9 hours worth) it was overall enjoyable. A must for any hardcore RPG fan.
