The video game maniacs at Square-Enix make some of the coolest games on the planet. They're behind the awesome Kingdom Hearts role-playing game for Playstation 2, the Final Fantasy series of games and more! The latest game in the Saga series, Unlimited Saga, is out for the PS2 and it's gonna rock, right?

What's Cool About Unlimited Saga

The coolness of the Unlimited Saga role-playing video game starts with having seven different characters to choose from. There's also a combat system that lets you combine moves into brutal combos, as long as you time it right. That's it for good news though...

Bad News for Unlimited Saga

If you can play the Unlimited Saga video game for more than an hour without throwing your controller at the TV, then you're more patient than me! The controls are frustrating, moving around the world is like playing Monopoly by yourself and it even looks dull. Also, the super-cool animated sequences that helped make Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts so cool have been swapped for your grandma's collection of old paintings.

Unlimited Saga Bottom Line

It's frustrating as all heck to play and the only really cool thing is the occasional battle. If you stick with Unlimited Saga for long enough, the story gets good, but it's not worth it.

How Hard Is Unlimited Saga?

It's not hard to win, it's just hard to play.

Unlimited Saga Age Rating: Everyone.

Unlimited Saga Thumbs Up:

Cool combat combo-move system.

You can trade it in and buy Kingdom Hearts instead.

Unlimited Saga Thumbs Down:

Totally lacking in cool graphics.

Moving around is mucho lame.

Useless instruction manual.

More frustrating than having a Britney Spears song stuck in your head.

Unlimited Saga Rating:

Systems: Playstation 2
