August 29, 2007 - Good - 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 - Good - 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 - Good - 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 24, 2007 - Mediocre - If you come into Blue Dragon expecting anything more than a serviceable RPG, don't be shocked if you come away disappointed.
August 29, 2007 - Mediocre - 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 - Poor - 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.
