Not owning a X-Box 360 has excluded me from enjoying the highly-acclaimed Blue Dragon. However, when I heard about Blue Dragon Plus, I figured I'd go ahead an pick it up since the original's supposed to be such a great, innovative game. Blue Dragon Plus has to be good, right? Right?! Wrong! Sadly, after purchasing the game and playing it for a brief amount of time, I discovered Blue Dragon Plus could in no way measure to the original, regardless of never having played it. Instead of being innovative, Blue Dragon Plus attempts to mimic well-established game stylings while delivering real-time battle sequences...and fails. For battle to flow effectively, using the stylus is a must, but instead of being given well-programmed play controls, players are given a horrible "click and drag" navigation method. This headache is only compounded when attempting to command his/her troops in order to command a strategic battle. What should be fun and entertaining is tedious and obnoxious, and in a game packed with battle after battle, interest in the game is swiftly lost. On the flip side, Blue Dragon Plus does sport some decent graphics for a game designed for the small screen, and the movie sequences look better than many seen on older console systems like the PSOne. The story, too, is fairly intriguing, at least for one unfamiliar with the overall plot of the Blue Dragon series. However, this does little to gloss over the poor structure and gameplay. My recommendation: don't bother buying this game. Chances are you'll wind up regretting it.
