Customer Reviews of Sudeki

Rating : Lots of fun, February 28, 2009

By Reggie "Stud Muffin" (San Diego, CA USA)

No game... EVER... that's been created and put out on the market is perfect, and Sudeki is no exception. However, it does have many good points more than bad. This game (at least to me) by far is the most beautiful looking game that i've ever played. Lush enviorments, beautiful shadows and lighting as the characters move throughout the areas, and the transition between one area to another without much use of a load screen was nice to experience in the game. The battle system can be a bit clunky at times, especially while using healing items, but overall combat is fun. The game actually reminded me somewhat of Fable. It's not very long, I finished it in under 30 hours. It's too bad there won't be a Sudeki 2. I think with a few tweeks, it could be a good franchise. But, at least I got a chance to play the game. Special kudos to the team that created such a great looking game.

I don't know why this game gets so little regard....
It's a great game in its own right. It's nothing epic or new, but it's beautiful and addictive. Seriously, this is one of the few games I've played multiple times.
The ending...was crap. I'll be the first to admit that. I was thoroughly dissapointed with the ending.
Having said that, getting to the end was lots of fun. I originally bought my XBOX simply for Fable, and when I played the demo of this game with a Fable DVD/Promo thing, I instantly loved it. It has lots of weird voice actors (I think we have some Irish, Scottish, British, Australian and Canadian in here. Where the heck did they cast the English version of this, I wonder?) a typical RPG storyline: a kingdom at war with another, and a world that is not what it seems, and typical characters: beauitful sorceress, strong sword-weilder, furrie, gun-slinger.
However, the design is very untypical. Being an avid gamer, I know that graphics do not usually mean a great game. However, in this case I would say that the graphics really make the game! They're quirky, bright and fun. Very different from your average RPG.
Sudeki's music fits its atmosphere, and is definitely fun to listen to.
This is definitely worth it to buy used. Don't expect anything awe-inspiring from it...anyway, when did games start being about epicness and storyline? What's wrong with just sitting down, and having a good time playing a video game? If you want an epic, go play some Final Fantasy. Buy this game used, it's a crime for it to go that low, but do it anyway, and just have fun!
It's a fun little gamelet. ^_^

Can't review because it won't run on XBOX360, yet. I've heard a lot of praise for this game. Looking forward to an update which allows this game, Sudeki, to run on XBOX360.Sudeki Probably, a good gift for an original XBOX owner who likes RPG's.

This game keeps one on their toes and is very involved my kids all love this game and I myself enjoy playing it. There is violence so young kids really should have an adult preview it first. Otherwise very nice game.

Rating : An underrated, well-written and fun hybrid, May 31, 2007

By Nightfall (UT, USA)

Here's the thing, folks. The main reason Sudeki has been underrated by so many people is that the developer is not Japanese. Lovers of traditional Japanese rpgs are ready to poo all over Sudeki simply because it is the work of a western developer. What they fail to see is that Sudeki is anything other than a traditional rpg, and thus should not be compared to traditional rpgs. Sukeki is a brilliant mix of traditional rpg and action/adventure. It controls like action/adventure and yet features a deep combat system that allows you to switch between four different characters and direct their combat style. While the combat is not turn-based, it is still reminiscent of traditional rpgs because the action slows to bullet time when you change weapons, use an item, or unleash a magical attack. Some strategic planning is required every time you go into a battle because there are so many variables that influence how the battle plays out, as well as its outcome. You have to know your weapons, characters, enemies, spells, and items very well. So you don't have to worry about Sudeki being shallow.
The only blemish on this beautiful gem of a game is that the melee combat controls for Tal and Buki are sluggish and unresponsive. Also, the camera does not work as well as it should for melee combat. Given time and practice, it is possible to overcome these deficiencies, but they should have been ironed out in testing. Most of the time you don't even have to play as your melee fighters. You can play as Elco or Ailish, who do all of their fighting in first-person. In this way you act as kind of a director, watching the action unfold, helping each fighter as they need it, and unleashing Skill Strikes when things get a bit too hairy.
The graphics and animations in Sudeki are top notch. It is clearly one of the best looking Xbox games ever made. Visual effects for magical attacks are heart-breakingly beautiful. The writing and voice acting is high caliber, and the story is quite unique. Do yourself a favor and stop listening to all the voices in the media that tell you what you should and should not like. Give Sudeki a chance and I think you will be rewarded.
