765351 - 10 - The best "unheard of" game this gen. All the females are sexy (Kaine and Yonah) and the story and gameplay is great.

gaymer15 - 10 - This game is proof that gameplay and story will always be more important than pretty graphics. One of the most touching stories in a video game I have ever experienced. The characters really bring the story to life because of the wonderful script and the phenomenal voice acting. Also, what other game has a party consisting of a gruff, old man, a smarmy, floating book, a foul-mouthed hermaphrodite, and a floating, skeleton boy? NIER also has the best soundtrack I have ever heard in any video game, heck probably any form of entertainment. The game also has a lot of replay value because of its four different endings (which are heartbreaking). Sure the graphics weren't "cutting edge," but they got the job done just fine. Too bad Cavia has gone under. NIER is the perfect example of a swan song.

Mitsuhide11 - 9 - Amazing Soundtrack, fun game play, amazing story, sub-par graphics, but you shouldn't be playing a game just for those.

seb03 - 10 - The game must be the most underrated releases this year. It has near perfect voice acting (for a Japanese game translated into english), one of the best soundtracks you will ever hear and the story is just about 10 times more emotionally involving than your average game. The game also has alot of replay value with four endings and added story depth each time you replay the game.

Gameplay is typical hack and slash combat with sidequests and some light puzzles. But the greatest part of the gameplay is the variety, With use of different camera perspectives the game changes up the gameplay as you progress. For example some areas will be played as a side scroller and others will be done with Resident Evil style static preset cameras. Also forget to add there is one section that plays like a text adventure
