Everything about this game is fantastic and beautiful from the graphics to the battle system, the character development, and even the music is perfect. All in all a must but for RPG players.
Don't listen to Ps3 Fanboys...i own both versions March 10, 2010

I purchased the 360 package with this game and also the ps3 version, as I wanted to play both for the trophies/achievements. Do not listen to what people are saying...the game actually runs faster on 360 and unless you are standing right next to the screen you CANNOT tell the difference in graphics. Loading times are actually faster on 360. Yes it is completely different from any FF before it, but that is a good thing. Do you really want to play the same game every 3 years, or experience something completely different? Play the game for yourself before you listen to people who do not like the 360.
The story is amazing and the graphics are unparalleled on both systems. Buy the game based on your preference for the system (which controller you like, if you want faster load times or crisper in-game graphics on the 360). I plan to play both and have no problem with any of them check my purchases you can see I own the ps3 version (i preordered the xbox bundle at EB) so i am not being biased to either one.:P

This game is great the first night I played till 4 in the morning. The picture quality is awesome 1080p is the perfect choice for a game with rich environments like FF13. You wont be disappointed. No complaints.
 1st 10 hours of FF XIII are really DULL--- by kaji March 10, 2010

This review applies only to the first 10-12 hours of play. If you like to explore expanded areas and have some fun, with some timely fights, don't expect to get it with this game. I don't know what happens later, but for at least 10-12 hours you spend walking a crooked line in a canyon fighting bad guys every ten steps. Other than the start of a basic story with some nice cut scenes thats it. If it takes this long to teach you a new fighting system, then what does that tell you. Since I forked out the bucks I will continue, but if I were you I would rent or borrow from a friend. God,I hope it gets better.
 A few steps back since Final Fantasy X but still worth playing. March 10, 2010

Another Final Fantasy...this is the first one since FInal Fantasy X that I have played.
So far:
-Really cannot stand the camera. It's too close and causes the movement to be jerky and annoying especially when turning in a circle.
- I am not all that crazy about not being able to hit a town and get more of the story. Just buy stuff 'online'. Not cool at all and running across a save point every 20 mins? Really? Also the game is pretty linear...but for this type of game, this is needed as it's long as all get out.
- The Graphics on the PS3 are wonderful. Eyepopping even. In some places you can't tell the cutscence to the scences you are supposed to play.
- I am noting how much more this game plays a little more like recent RPGs where you really only control one character during battles. It's kind of fun because it takes some of the micromanaging away but at the same time, I do miss being able to command my characters during battles. I do enjoy the Paradigm Shifts during battles but I do hope there are more enemy varieties than what I have seen in the first 6 hours of playing. Also I am mixed right now on teh whole auto heal after battle as that has never been done before in any FF game but this feels more 'western' than others. I also enjoyed in FFX the ability to swap members in the middle of fights and that is also gone now..what's the sense in having 5 members if you are only going to be using 3?
- I wasn't all that crazy that for the first 3 hrs of play was a 'tutorial'. The only thing that saved it from being a complete lete down is that they used this (learning how to fight, learning how to use items etc) to move the story along.
- So far the voice acting is really on point. Playing this game is akin with playing a CG Anime.
- The datalog concept is great. Something that you are finding more and more on RPGs with tons of reading without cramming it all into a book.
if you are a fan of more traditional western RPGs (Dragon's AGe and Mass Effect) and never played a Final Fantasy game, you may want to steer clear but if you have at least tried one JRPG and Final Fantasy in particular an dliked the experience, this is for you.
