Review: TTGamer
_______________
Even though Microsoft's original Xbox was considered to be a huge success, there were still a few '
pockets of resistance' in the gaming markets around the world when it came to their take up of the Xbox console brand, and one of these was Japan - a market which heavily favours the Sony and Nintendo offerings. Naturally this is something MS were desperate to change with the Xbox 360, and as such quite a few in-house funded games have been more or less squarely aimed at the Japanese gamer by outsourcing Japanese developers - some decent, some
pretty terrible. Unfortunately for MS, this focus on the Japanese market has not equalled large sales once again for the Xbox brand in Japan, but relative to the amount of 360 consoles which have actually been sold there one game has stood out - Blue Dragon. After its Japan release in late 2006 Blue Dragon went on to be the most successful Xbox 360 game in the Land of the Rising Sun. Almost a year on this title is now seeing release in the Western markets, but does it have enough appeal to sell outside of its intended audience?
