Xtreme-ly Unmemorable - Eric King -
Grandia Xtreme is the black sheep of the series. It shares a battle system with the other Grandia games, but little else. It's primarily a dungeon crawler. You spend most of your time slogging up and down a few relatively boring dungeons and have very little world exploration or character interaction compared to the first 2 games.
It's story and characters are so uninteresting, that I can't remember a single character or location name. Whereas I can still remember most of the characters and places in the first Grandia game, even though I haven't played it since the year after it was released (years before I played Grandia Xtreme).
If you want a mindless, fairly easy dungeon crawler, or you just want another game with the Grandia battle system, then this is your game. But most likely, you're better off looking elsewhere. Had it been the first Grandia game made instead of the 3rd, it might have gotten better ratings.
ok, but much worse than the original grandia - T. P. Le - fairfax VA
i bought this game because grandia for dreamcast was one of my favorite games ever, because it was so simple and fun. grandia extreme however, was a major disappointment. though the graphics are a little bit better (the characters have mouths) and there is voice acting, the game itself had many flaws which prevented it from being enjoyable. i just liked to battle for the most part, and the battle system, which is why i like the game so much in the first place, is the same, which is a good thing. however, there are very few save points, and you could be running around for hours without being able to save (which you could only do in the village); some of the battles are pretty hard and you have to battle A LOT before you fight any boss, so theres a high chance of you dying and therefore wasting 1-2 hours of gameplay easily. also, you cannot upgrade skills or mana eggs, or even equip such specialties unless youre in the village which gets kind of annoying, since the actual equipping of these items take forever to get a hold of. another thing is the camera angle of the game; unlike grandia of DC, there is a very small area that you can see, it takes way too long to rotate view and it wouldve been a lot better if there were a button you could hold down to walk (or run) like in the DC version. as a result, playing this game, just moving around gives you a big headache. finally the story is just horrible, it made no sense and gets on your nerves; while the story of DC's grandia wasnt amazing, it was enjoyable. also the voice acting is terrible. i give it 3 stars because the battle system. if you just love to beat up on stuff, rent this game first.

Grandia 2 Review
Granas and Valmar are the two Gods who warred against each other in the past, thus devestating the world and as a reult, creating the Grana Cliffs. Now, years later, the world is dying. Farming is not sucessful, and people seem to be losing hope.
Elena, a songstress of Granas seeks out a resolution to this by singing in a tower, to the north of her home village, though in the process something goes terribly wrong. Millenia is created, the dark side of Elena, who falls in love with the main character Ryudo.
The voice acting in the game is well done, apart from the annoying Roan, and deep throated Mareg. The scenes can be very emotional at times and do not feter from the plot at all.
The truth will be revealed in a shocking way, but I will not spoil it for you. There are many twists and turns in the plot that are often unpredictable, and suprising.
If you want a great game to play, that lasts for approx 40 hours, then I seriously recommend this game to you! The deep and moving story will draw you in (that is after Ryudo gets over his big ego) ... This software is BRAND NEW. Packaging may differ slightly from the stock photo above.

USB gamepad is more recommended in addition, it runs well in xp

WARNING for potential buyers - Atomic Tofu - In my heart
I'm sure this game is fairly good. That said, I need to issue a notice and warning to all potential future buyers of this product.
It is not by fault of any seller really. It seems to be with the game publisher and manufacturer. Ubisoft is not known for customer support as they don't really believe in it. Quality control for most if not all of their products seem non-existant.
Do a thorough internet search and you'll get a feel that about 25-35% of people cannot install this game due to faulty manufacturig processes. So be warned.
very good RPG for pc - matt.mingkee - Brooklyn, NY United States
I'd say this game is cool for pc
with GF4 440MX, use 1024x768 resolution, the graphic is excellent, even dreamcast don't match
the gameplay is nice, 360 degree is a big help, AI option may speed the battle up or screw up, by your choice
if you ever played dreamcast or PS2 version, and your pc has decent config, get it
my config
AMD XP 2500+
