After my old (but purchased brand new and sealed) Xbox 360 was banned from Xbox Live for no given reason, I’ve been terrified to do anything with it. This is why I’ve not created an American Live account to circumvent the Europeans getting screwed right the hell over on game demos, and why I am currently too timid to access the Eternal Sonata demo that should be available for everybody else right now. Isn’t it funny how so far it’s only the games from Japan that have trouble reaching Europe? Freakin’ racists, the lot of ’em. They hate our tea and our monocles.
However, Eternal Sonata has been looking good for a while, and it seems to be overshadowed by the bigger Blue Dragon. Personally, I feel Sonata may actually turn out to be the better game of the two and am looking forward to it more so than Dragon, which felt a bit too run-of-the-mill in the short time I had with the demo (although lyrics during boss fight tunes are made of win).
Of course, if you have a Japanese account, this is really old news to you. The demo’s been on Japanese Live for an eon.
