Is Eternal Sonata a good game?

I recently saw a game in my local video game store called Eternal Sonata, I've decided to save up for it but I was wondering. Is it a good game and is it worth getting?
It looks interesting and all but I don't really want to waste my money and find thats its a crap game.

EDIT: I live in australia if that makes any difference

 

Well, I thought it was an incredible RPG. I also thought it was challenging. Got it about 2 or so years ago, and I'm only about 2-3 hours in. Either it's challenging or I'm just not good at RPGs... :P

What's the price? If it's 40 or 50, I say get it.

 

its actually about $38.95 at the store i went to

 

Then I say it's worth it. You might want to wait for some more opinions, though.

 

true, i would ask friends but they aren't into games that much DX

 

Most of my friends like games and crap because I got them into it.

 

You'll play it once and then never touch it again.

Actually, the game forces you to play the entire game twice if you want to get any 360 Achievements or Playstation Trophies, so maybe twice.

Rent it. If you can't rent it, it's not really worth it, especially not at $40.

 

...

 

well compared to the other rpg games i saw for sale this game was the cheapest one, all the others were over $50

 

Assuming they still have copies, its $30 new at Wal-Mart.

 

I live in Australia, we don't have Wal-Mart :O

 

Now, that would have been something to point out simply because of currency differences as AU$38.95 is equivelent to US$25.03 and CA$32.11, which is actually cheaper than I had thought.

 

sorry i didnt point that out ^^'
