Gamebosh Review: Star Ocean: First Departure

Set on the planet called Roak, you control a tailed character called Roddick. Mysteriously a disease spreads across the land turning people into stone, so Roddick and pals take it upon themselves to seek a cure in the nearby mountains. Upon arrival they meet two humans and the adventure of time travel (and a lot of walking and talking) begins. At first the story will hold your interest, but it doesn't take long before it starts to drag out - before you know it you're falling asleep at the PSP controls! This is partly due to the over-long dialogue sequences, where no one has anything interesting to say and they don't know how to shut up (The Futureheads' song 'Skip to the End' comes to mind). The interesting aspect of plot comes in the form of anime cut-scenes, but these don't happen often enough. Instead the developers opted for in-game talking, talking and more talking.
