Lost Odyssey (Xbox 360)
common sense media says
A very good fantasy RPG with a few glitches.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this fighting game is rated "Teen" instead of "Mature" as there is no blood. The player will use a sword or magic to defeat enemies in a turn-based fight mechanic, meaning the combat move is selected and the action plays out without gamer involvement. Enemies -- which are human, creatures, or spirits -- can be stabbed in a dramatic fashion, but it isn't as graphic as other Xbox 360 role-playing games such as The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Some characters are shown as drunk.
Educational value:
Not applicable.
Violence:
Combat makes up most of the game-play here, as the player faces off against man and beast in a turn-based fight mechanic.
Sex:
Women have big bosoms and show some cleavage. Some flirting takes place, and a suggestive lesbian remark in one of the prerendered videos.
Language:
The game features some potentially offensive words including "damn," "hell" and "bastard."
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Some characters are inebriated, such as Jensen, who is drunk in one scene, slurring his words and having a hard time standing up, and with three women hanging off of him, giggling.

Good RPG with some flaws
Even though the story itself is standard for the genre, the characters are interesting and the battle system is a nice solid turn-based battle system with a few fresh twists. There are some framerate issues and there are some loading times. The game is very good looking with some well done character models and some well-made cutscenes. If you can look past the minor flaws, you will be brought on an epic journey.

Nobody knows this game. WHY?!?
This is a very good game with a few glitches. Sadly because of these minor glitches, this game has gone unrecognised and unloved by the public, which I find annoying as this is a pretty good game.
