The first game I ever played that could be classified as a single player MMO would be the 1st run PS2 game "Summoner". That game was like MMO's of the time in every way except that everyone besides your party was an NPC. Back then, I thoroughly enjoyed the novelty of being in such a huge world and having it all to myself. Not so sure how I feel about it now that it has become more prevalent.

Great review. Its nice to hear a JRPG review that isn't either blind fanboyism or a rant about how the entire genre should be eradicated.

On a side note, even if Jason's not much of a JRPG fan, he definitely has good taste in them. Chrono Trigger is god-tier.

Oh yes, will you be reviewing Last Story?

Professor Jeff, have you played Magna Carta II? It's on Xbox360, if you haven't. I believe it's Korean, but it's in the JRPG genre. It's a game

I feel gets a lot right, including the experience of manning one character. Battle moves exhaust the character to the point they can not do anything for a period, so by design you to switch to another to continue battle. This can also net chains to refresh your characters.

Quests can feel like an MMO, in that you get exp, as well as standard rewards, however you have to return to the giver and you do feel like you're helping someone out. Getting all these done also won't overpower you, downloading a weapon pack will overpower you, though.

I wonder if Final Fantasy XII began the JRPG single player mmo trend.

Excellent Review Gentlemen !!!

Just got Borderlands because I am 3 years behind in gaming, and have experienced that the MMO without coop buddies is the boring grind.  Thanks for sharing y'all!

The soundtrack to this game sounds like the intro to an Australian game show we used to have here called "Sale of the Century"

Good review though guys.

Comment by MasterEVOPK on April 23, 2012 at 12:37am

I'm with Lastsuperjedai, I get that their not the best but you guys say in new email show that Walmart a better choice.........Why? I have friends who work at gamestop and their just doing what they need to do and look i'm pretty sure you hate the company not the people but even then Walmart is a definition of greed. For me i chose the lesser of two evils.

Though that Prototype commercial is there dumbest.
