I have recently played this game extensively and can vouch for its amazing quality. The work that has gone into this game is unbelievable, here are some of the features:

- The graphics look so real that I actually thought that I was watching a video of real people.

- Similarly the sound is awesome. I heard that they actually recorded real people for the voices too, unlike other games with their made up voices. It sure sounds real to me!

- The music is so good that they were going to put it on Top of the Pops, but when they released the album they decided not to appear on the show as, being a sure #1 hit, they didn't want to ruin the chances of the other pop stars doing well on the show that week. (This Soundtrack Album is also available here and it is so great too, I can't believe they cn make computers play music like this).

- And lastly, the gameplay. Imagine any type of game you like, well this is like that game but better. I cannot wait for this game to come out as, having played it extensivley at E3, I know so much about it and I'm dying to play it again.

I have been playing video games since I was a kid and this is the finest piece of softwaremanship I have come across to date. I am going to buy 2 of this game just so I can keep one un-opened as a display piece.

After playing a very interesting demo of this game, these are the details that I could muster:

1. There are four controllable characters that each have their separate styles of combat (much like Brute Force)

2. Outside of combat, each character has a unique ability to interact with the surroundings (ie: one can dispel magical things, another can move around large objects)

3. During combat, just pressing the Y button pauses the game and brings up a menu in the corner, allowing you to select items or abilities on the run.

4. Like Zelda, weapons, armor, key items and such can be found, used and equipped.

5. But unlike zelda, your characters gain experience and skill points to upgrade abilities, like Final Fantasy or Diablo.

6. You can easily switch characters at any time by pressing the "white" or "black" buttons, as long as you have more than one character with you at the time.

7. The demo had puzzel to solve by moving obelisks into the right places in the floor and in the right orientation: a puzzle RPG?

8. save points like the Final Fantasy series.

9. The one boss encountered was a giant spider. And to beat it you had to figure out the system of its attacks and find the weakness: not just a hack fest.

10. Also during the boss, only one character was usable, so I do not know how multiple characters will fare against a giant boss when only one is manually controlled at a time. Perhaps only one character is used for bosses.

This looked like a well put together game with colorful environments and accessible menus and fluid transitions.

It's gonna be be great.

I just played the demo and I can tell this game will be good. The demo showed off some of the combat elements of the game. You can pull off attack combos, skill strikes, spirit strikes, etc. At any time during combat, you can slow down the action by pressing Y. This will allow you to plan your strategy, quaff a potion, change the AI settings of your companions, etc. Since there was no NPC interaction in the demo, I have no opinion on the other RPG elements of the game. Also, the graphics were beautiful.

you'll love it

This is one of the original Xbox games that shows off the true power of its graphics. Unfortuneately it doesn't work with the Xbox 2, but it is still an awesome game. The storylines is one of the best for an RPG that we have ever played. An all time favorite in our house.

Fun game

THIS GAME IS GONNA BE THE worst (...) WHEN IT COMES OUT FOR THE XBOX....... I'M A HUGE FF SERIES FAN AND I'VE BEEN ONE SINCE IT CAME OUT ON THE NES AND I KNOW FOR SURE WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT SUDEKI IS GONNA BE A HUGE SUCCESS WHEN IT FIRST COMES OUT AND ALSO FOR THE SUDEKI SEQUELS AFTER IT. SO FOR THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE JUST LISTEN TO ME AND TRY THE GAME OUT FIRST CAUSE IT'S WORTH IT.

Flawless Xbox action/RPG

I was expecting this game to be good, but WOW! Rivals Knights of the Old Republic as THE must-have xbox role-playing game. First off, it looks absolutely gorgeous, killer graphics, easily on par with anything I've seen from the Final Fantasy series. All of the dialogue is voiced rather than just subtitled. The voice-acting is great with each character (even NPC's) having a distinct accent and tone. The music is perfect, and did I mention the killer graphics?
Second, the real-time combat is absolutely flawless. Two characters with mad melee skills that attack with killer combos Return of the King-style, and two ranged attackers that fight in first-person shooter style like Halo. You can switch between all four as waves of enemies pour in. This is too much fun for words. The skill strikes are especially ass-kicking attacks that must be seen to be believed (they often send blood and pieces of enemies flying everywhere). Easily the high point of this game.
Third, the story (though not on par with it's FF brethren) is very cool and the characters are very likeable. There's Tal the swordsman whose commanding officer, his father, verbally beats him down mercilessly. He is also good for moving blocks and such. Then there's Ailish the sorceress (and a princess to boot) who loves a good adventure and uses her magic to break magical barriers hiding valuable items. Buki, the animalistic claw-bearing warrior who scoffs at Tal's immense weapon ("Humans always hide behind their swords. I like to smell my enemies' sweat and fear"). She can also scale walls. Lastly, there's Elco the scientist who has a rocket pack and fights with guns. You use various combinations of these four warrirs as you travel the land looking for asses to kick in search of powerful crystals (a la FF2) in other kingdoms for use in a defensive device Elco is working on. From there, who knows what could happen?
The only weakpoint to this game is it's lack of depth. The characters are established, but then aren't completely developed and the ending is horrendously unfulfilling. I couldn't even spoil it for you if I wanted to because NOTHING HAPPENS. After I'd beaten the game, I knew I'd done everything I could possibly do and felt no need to play it again as I did when I beat KOTR. More customisation and a deeper storyline would have been great. Also, the world is tiny compared to other RPG's. You don't even really even need alternate transportation sources. Still, my bigest complaint is simply that I want more, more, MORE!
Overall, this is what xbox RPG fans have been waiting for. I was hoping for a game to tide me over until Fable drops, and I got an incredible game that combines many of the aspects of Halo, Return of the King, Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, and Chrono Trigger that made those games so awesome. Hopefully, it's lack of depth will be fixed in future sequels. Buy it now!

Sudeki is gorgeous and fun!

Sudeki is one of the best looking games I've ever played. The gameplay is closer to games like Kingdom Hearts and very heavy on action. I hope they continue this series and make a sequel.

Why review the game if you haven't played it?????

I don't understand why so many people are reviewing this game when they haven't even played it yet. They're not even sure what kind of game it is. "Is it a fighting game??" This is a role-playing game for the Xbox. One of the few that the system actually has. This game is actually a really great game. I'm a few hours into it right now and I really don't have any complaints about it. Some people say the voice acting is way off, but it's really not too bad. The game is pretty bloody, hence the M rating, but that only makes it much cooler to play. When it comes to fighting in this game it really can't get much easier. The fighting system is very easy to get used too. The story line is pretty good too, nothing groundbreaking, but good to say the least. I have Final Fantasy X and X-2 for Ps2 and this game is much better then both of those games. Not even really a competition there and I do like the Final Fantasy games. Is this game worth it to buy? I definitely think is. If you like RPG's and lots of blood, then you will like this game. If you don't like RPG's then don't buy this game. Its that simple. Again, if you haven't played this game, there is no need to post a review about it. Go do that elsewhere. Reviews are to help out people that might be interested in buying the game. Don't post questions about it here.
