Top 10 Xbox 360 RPG

Welcome to my list of the top 10 Xbox 360 rpg. I have spent many hours playing each of these games and consider them to be some of the best role playing games that you can buy for the Xbox 360.

These games have been rated on several factors, all of which are important to me when I play games.

These factors are:

1) Story

2) Graphics

3) Game Play

4) Music

5) Replay Value

You will not find any MMORPGs on this list. I consider those games to be in another category than regular rpgs.

I have spent many hours on each of these Xbox 360 role playing games and hope that you may enjoy them as much as I have.

Late on the night of October 16, 1849, Frederic Francois Chopin, also known as the Poet of the Piano, lies on his deathbed. He dreams of a beautiful, magical world filled with bright, vivid colors and strange creatures, as if something from a fairy-tale.

In Eternal Sonata, those who are afflicted with incurable illnesses are able to harness the power of magic. Frederic encounters a young girl who faces a terrible destiny and a young boy who is willing sacrifice everything to save her.

Although Frederic thinks that this world is just a figment of his imagination as he lies on his deathbed, he realizes that there might be more to this place than he first thought.

In the world of The Last Remnant, ancient artifacts known as Remnants were discovered all over the world. The powers of the Remnants slowly began to change the world causing a rift in between those who ruled, and those who served. War breaks out and lasts for many years. In the end, the world is almost destroyed.

1000 years later, the journey of Rush Sykes begins.

Rush lives a peaceful life when suddenly his sister is kidnapped by a mysterious group of soldiers. He goes after them and eventually saves her, but not before meeting David Nassau, ruler of the state of Athlum.

Together with their other friends, Rush and David travel to discover who created the Remnants and why. Is history doomed to be repeated?

Blue Dragon revolves around a young wide-eyed youth named Shu. His village has been plagued for a decade by ominous destructive purple clouds that come once every year. Shu is tired of the pain and suffering that these clouds bring and the next time they come, he bolts into action to try to save his village. Shu is joined by his childhood friends Jiro and Kluke.

After a short fight and cool cut scenes, the party encounters the cause of the clouds and promptly gets defeated the enemy, Nene. This however is just the beginning.

Nene blasts them out of his ship, but Shu vows to catch-up with and defeat him to prevent anything like what he did to Shu's village from happening somewhere else.

Together, they set off to find Nene.... and perhaps save the world!

Fable II is a fun game that has gone a step above its predecessor. In a world where every choice you make has an effect on the world around you, you must overcome many hardships during the lifetime of your character.

You begin the game as a penniless street urchin who is just trying to survive in a world filled with cruelty and despair. Throughout many quests the land of Albion will begin to change. Will it be for good or evil? The choice is yours!

The usual three character strengths are available to be chosen. You can level up your strength skill to do more damage with physical attacks and take less damage. Skill experience is gained by using guns and bows. Magic experience is gained by using any of the different magic spells that are available. The more you use a skill the stronger it becomes.

The life-giving moon, long a symbol of status and power to all who walk the planet, has been ensnared by the "Order of Chains". Led by its enigmatic leader, the Dreadknight, the Order has constructed these chains to lock the moon in its position in the heavens.

The power of these magical chains spawn foul creatures that begin to blight the land. Crops fail. Trees wither. Humanity cries out for salvation.

In Infinite Undiscovery you follow a young man named Capell on his journey to defeat the Dreadknight and discover what it is that he fights for.

Lost Odyssey follows the journey of an immortal man named Kiam Argonar. He has lost his memory and has wandered the world for 1000 years, not knowing his purpose.

After some great opening cut-scenes, in which Kiam is one of the only survivors of a meteor impact, players will begin an epic journey across a war torn world filled with magic and monsters. During the game players will learn the pain that come with being immortal and discover why the immortals exist.

Kiam is joined by several other companions, some immortal and some mortal. The characters have been wonderfully brought to life with an excellent voice cast and CG cut-scenes.

During the video review he will say that there is loading issues. I am not sure if they just had a bad console or Mistwalker Studios has addressed the problem, but I had no issues with loading times during my play-through with this game.

This was an amazing Xbox 360 game. Unlike most titles in the Final Fantasy series, the game game did not revolve around one main character.

Instead, the story is told from the perspective of each character and the party as a whole. During each chapter a little bit of each characters backstory is told until you feel like you know them.

Final Fantasy XIII starts off in a floating city called Cocoon. Soldiers are stuffing people into trains to lead them to their death. This is called "The Purge".

As some helpless people are being roughed up a bit too much by the soldiers, a mysterious woman throws off her white mage type cloak and proceeds to thoroughly whoop the soldiers into submission.

After the third World War, earth becomes uninhabitable and mankind is forced to reach out to the stars for salvation.

Star Ocean The Last hope begins 400 years after the war with players taking control of our hero, young Edge Maverick.

Explore the galaxy in your quest, making friends and enemies alike of the alien races that you encounter. Explore four massive worlds and a space station filled with danger at every step.

Fans of the Star Ocean Series will be thrilled to learn that in this Xbox 360 role playing game, Gabrielle Celeste and the Ethereal Queen make quite a major appearance.

From the creators of Mass Effect 2 and Knights of the Old Republic comes yet another amazing game where every choice you make has drastic consequences on the world around you. When you buy this Xbox 360 role playing game from Amazon, you get a free expansion pack with an extra downloadable character and additional quests.

Players begin Dragon Age Origins with one of six opening scenes depending on what race/class they choose at the start. After the initial scenes the main character becomes one of the last two Grey Wardens in the country.

Grey Wardens are charged with the duty of containing an invasion of cursed beings called "The Blight" and destroying the Arch Demon. (The enemies actually reminded me of the Orc Horde from The Lord of the Rings)
