August 29, 2007 - Blue Dragon is a fantastic game as long as you can make it through the first few plodding hours and don't mind the hyper-cute character design.

August 15, 2007 - Blue Dragon is, ultimately, enjoyable. Its appeal, once started, is undeniable. Yes, it's a turn-based RPG, and it's a wholly traditional one.

August 29, 2007 - While it's not the next-gen opus fans have been waiting for since Sakaguchi's departure from Square in 2003, Blue Dragon is a familiar, accessible, and comfortable game with outstanding production values.

August 15, 2007 - Blue Dragon is not the most original RPG as far as design goes. Nor is it the first "must have" RPG on a Microsoft console.

August 29, 2007 - Blue Dragon may be the first Japanese RPG we've seen in a while on the Xbox 360, but it's also totally forgettable, telling a story that didn't beg to be told in a game that doesn't do much to stand out.

September 30, 2007 - Blue Dragon ends up being a game where there are not only no guilty pleasures, but you feel bad for having spent your money on it.
