Not as good as SMT4 and Apocalypse but still a damn fine game. Gameplay is great but I feel like it's as not as engaging as SMT4 and Apocalypse and the story is garbage. I feel like game does 2 steps forwards but also 2 steps back. In terms of gameplay, mechanics, and story. I could ramble about what I love and dislike about the but I don't feel like it! Heh. At the end of the day I still really enjoyed my time with the game. I just like a lot of other MegaTen games more. I'd say it's kinda mid as a MegaTen overall. But it's still a great game.
