Lost Oddysey- 10-25 second loading times?!

Load screens will lead to more load screens; each of the random combats is preceded by anywhere from 10 to 25 seconds of load times; and although we're not sticklers for frame-rates in turn-based games to begin with, Lost Odyssey's will frequently chug.

We have immense respect for what Lost Odyssey tries to do: be a back-to-basics JRPG with modern technological trimmings on the 360. Unfortunately, it's less a celebration of what made older RPGs great and more a crude relic of their past. When we were a half-dozen hours in, we had hope that the combat mechanics would gain some depth and that the storytelling would find its rhythm. We're still ready to forgive the technical issues, if only Lost Odyssey could come together as a game. 360 owners desperate for something turn-based with magic in it can turn to Lost Odyssey for some comfort, but for the majority of genre fans that time would be better spent replaying one of the classics from which Lost Odyssey draws so heavily.

well i play a game for more reasons then just a loading time. If Super Smash bros brawl or melee had 60 seconds loading time but online play i bet that wouldnt stop people from playing it. Heck i find people playing dbz tenkaichi 3 online how laggy that is.

But yeah i still think its a pretty good rpg to get if your a 360 owner and by far the game is better then enchanted arms.
