IGN UK gives Ni no Kuni 9.4

[AaronSOLDIER]

• +Gorgeous, lush graphics
• +Wonderful, expertly written and performed soundtrack
• +Excellent story that’s familiar, yet markedly unique
• +Engrossing battle system that takes influence from two great JRPG series
• +Requires at least 40 hours to beat, and perhaps twice that to do everything

Impressive. I'm looking forward to this game.

[Nitey]

Not surprised really. The game just oozes quality from my experience playing it at Eurogamer and then the demo that was released not too long ago.

The world map music, ahhhh

[KungMartin90]

So excited. Have a feeling it won't top Dragon Quest VIII in my book, but I know it'll be really awesome (:

[Blacksite]

Good to hear. Games Master UK and OPM also rated it pretty highly.

[TDbank24]

Ni no Kuni is going to be amazing. Just another top quality PS3 exclusive.

[AaronSOLDIER]

He says its up there with FF6 and Wild Arms, nuff said really it's a must have.

Nice can't wait to play this!

[RedOrb_Collector]

I want to like this, but I can't bring myself to play with a little kid as the main character...

[Flaw3d Genius]

Never heard of it, A demo is out?

Very close minded reason not to play something.

They couldn't bring themselves to create a bulked up, bald, generic main character.

Okay I'm just messing with you. To each their own but you should rent it and give it a try.

As for the topic: Like I need more reasons to buy it, can't wait for it!.

[DarkVincent07]

Can't wait. Day 1 CE. This glowing review just makes the wait harder

Yeah, for a month now.

You had better hope you never make a discerning remark in the negative based on design choices of a game ever again then.

I'll be sure to single it out.

I'm not going to enjoy a game if I don't like its art direction. And I know you wouldn't either.

The 'Messiah Child' trope as I like to call it, with little kids somehow inexplicably having the means and ability to save the world, has never been something I've been fond of. Unfortunately Japan is rife with it.

I played the demo and even made a youtube video of it if anyone is interested. I have to say, it was okay, different but I would give the game a rent just from the first impression I got from the demo. It had a unique fighting system and some interesting dialogue and it got me somewhat interested.

Here is a link of the video I made of the demo if anyone is interested:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nefuf...cLaQD&index=13

It's getting hot in here. : D

9/10 on Eurogamer. boom

Looking like a must have

[Cybertox]

So, does it really deserve such high ratings?

[Blacksite]

I haven't played the full game yet but I don't see a reason why it shouldn't.

All of the reviews I've seen so far have been positive, the lowest score, at the moment, coming from Game Informer with a 7/10.

[Dave-The-Rave]

The only negative I had to say about the demo was the time limit that made me rush through it..something that will be voided in the full release.

I preordered my copy off Amazon yesterday. Comes with two extra Familiars Griffy and Flutterby..

[Flaw3d Genius]

Played the demo, Felt like it was aimed at 10 year olds. One for the Pokemon crowd me thinks.

[Blacksite]

Not expecting everyone to like it.

[Chille]

Gah I need to freeze myself till Feb like Cartman did for the Wii, Gahhhh this game is taking to long to come out!

[keefy]

Looks nice but not my cup of tea.
