About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
It's finally sub £30!
The next massive sci-fi role-playing game from Monolith Soft, the creators of Baten Kaitos and Xenoblade Chronicles, comes exclusively to Wii U. A terrible intergalactic war leaves just a handful of Earth survivors trying to live in a beautiful yet hostile environment.
Players engage in battles against powerful creatures of all forms and sizes using the deep battle system that builds on the triumphs of Xenoblade Chronicles for Wii.
Riding and controlling a weaponized mech, players can explore every inch of the massive open world displayed in gorgeous high-definition graphics. The world is filled with strange and imaginative creatures, from small bugs to giant dinosaurs.
As characters improve in different classes, they will learn new combat and defensive skills, or Arts. Players can customize the Arts palette as their characters learn new Arts. All Arts have a ?recast" time – once cast, the player must wait out a cooldown" period before that Art can be used again.

There's plenty to see and do in the world beyond the story. It's a magnificent game world to explore, truly.
Amazing price though
I was the same but once you push past comparing one game to the other you'll start to enjoy X so much more than you currently are. I think the biggest problem for me was that the main protagonist is mute and therefore lacks the presence of a proper character like Shulk to drive the story forward in the opening few hours.
The game soon opens up and you'll realise that most of the enjoyment comes from spending hours exploring rather than the story.
Was the complete opposite for me, I found xenoblade chronicles boring although that's just me lol. When you get into a skell for the first time... That's when the game gets interesting!
The story kicks up several gears around chapter 7/8... you get some great cut-scenes and character design work.
Not being able to turn the music off or set it to battles only is my only complaint.
Great if all you want to do is wander around aimlessly!
City music is awesome! Uh uh uh uh....
Disagree. It's fine for what it is and in no way makes it unplayable unless if you have ridiculously high standards for a game that focuses more on exploration than story.
Took about 20 minutes for them to work how to sell it to me, but they gave me a £10 gift card to apologise for wasting my time so much, so it worked out as a really bloody good deal for me

Maybe it's my age, but I found the dialogue embarrassingly bad. While it is a game largely about exploration, it does not have a strong story holding it together and therefore lacks major impetus to propel you forward. Gorgeous game though and some strong music.
you van download games from the eshop and install them then activate with a disc?
City music is bloody grating if you go into new l.a for too long, makes me want to rip my bloody ears off!! only complaint is the soundtrack
