First impressions aren't very good. Only just started but the voice-acting hurts: I've seen bad timing before in cut-scenes, but this doesn't even sound like a natural conversation during the regular dialogs. Not as crucial, but the graphics only barely reach GameCube level as well. I really can't say as for gameplay yet, since I literally only put in two minutes after the starting cut-scenes so far.
I had to choose those games on the fly as a surprise gift, so I hadn't really put a lot of research into it. Though as it stands, I'm going to hold off on it in favor of Radiant Historia.
Side note; likely getting a PS3 during the holidays as a shared investment for the Blu-Ray player. I've given up on the "best" unit type with the emotion drive and have decided just to keep the PS2. I'll be checking the recommendation thread around that time to see what there is to get.
