Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Xbox 360) Reviews (Xbox 360 Games)

I don’t think anyone could have predicted the backlash that fans brought when Final Fantasy XIII was released almost exactly a year ago. It was a Final Fantasy game from Square-Enix, they knew what they’ve been doing for many years now. The majority of...

Final Fantasy releases are considered holidays in Japan. Stories about lines around the corner at game stores, no matter the situation, are always documented whenever the latest installment of Square Enix's long-running franchise launches. While the...

I had great hopes for this game, just like I had for the original title. Square Enix addressed nearly every issue from the previous title and delivered in a huge way. With a non-linear world, plenty of side quests, puzzles, and much more, Final Fantasy...
