On the up side, the music is nice, but again, repetitive

Aside from the storyline my favorite thing about this game is it's beautiful music.

The story is wonderful, the game play is fun and the music is absolutely fantastic.

The music, the story, the gameplay, the atmosphere, the characters are just so awesome

Although it received a lukewarm response from the major media websites, if you're a gamer who enjoys an atmospheric RPG, with various other genre gameplay elements sprinkled in for good measure, this is definitely the game for you.

This a awesome action rpg, great story, great voice acting, and the characters are a lot of fun

RPG's are hard to come by on the PS3 that don't require anything more than you and the console.

The main character is a little bit shallow (as in not well developed...not as in frat boy shallow) but that is largely due to the story

Reviews around story (3.76 of 5)
-
Nice length and story, a little frustrating with the controls, but you can change them (until the end of the game where it reverts them back to default.
-
It's really strange - the story of the game is a sap-filled joke for the first half of the game
-
You have to beat the game to unlock her back story but nonetheless her back story is sad and gripping
-
The main story is original, though very depressing at times, but the side missions lack variety.
-
The fun gameplay is eclipsed only by the great characters and story

The storyline is overly simplistic and E-rated, taking place in perhaps a total of five (small) locations through which you continually backtrack

Reviews around fantasy (3.22 of 5)
-
(I am a Final Fantasy loving geek, so you have to understand, that is a huge compliment in my mind!
-
I can see the "God of War" and "Devil May Cry" fans going for this, just as much as the "Final Fantasy and other RPG" fans as well!
-
The most important thing in a game is content and gameplay and this game has plenty of it, the graphics are not Final Fantasy 13 great or even this generation great but that is not what makes a fun engrossing game
-
I thought Final fantasy 6 is good because of the absolute epicness of the whole thing

Lovebthis game, great plot and characters. as well as combat
-
The character designs are quite nice, Nier himself does take the award for being one of the ugliest characters in the game.

The game has well developed characters and plot which mean significantly more to me than graphics.

Reviews around combat (3.04 of 5)
-
Pros:+ Amazing soundtrack+ Story/Atmosphere/LoreCons:- Can be repetitive- Shallow combat
-
The combat system and graphics leave something to desire as the combat is clunky, and the graphics are dated
-
cool story line , blew average graphic , nice combat system !
-
Fun but repetitive combat meets a need to get 100% of the game's weapons the game to get all the
-
Perhaps more important for the overall enjoyment of the game, the combat got more fun once I was able to upgrade my weapons and my magic spells to satisfying levels.

Reviews around gameplay (2.64 of 5)
-
The gameplay is very fun and frequently reminded me of a Zelda type game
-
Remember the games on the original playstation where the graphics sucked, but the gameplay was awesome
-
Nier was an interesting experience, the gameplay wasn't complex, but the story was quite intriguing.

Great music, good gameplay, decent graphics and take a point away for the all text story telling

Reviews around time (1.76 of 5)

-
Nier" starts off well, with an intriguing prelude in (relatively) modern times leading into the story of a man trying to save his daughter from a case of the Deadly Scribbles in the year 3,160ish.
-
, there's fishing but only good to sell for money or side quests, platforming that was only used in 2 area, and material gathering for weapons upgrade which will Completely waste your time because spawning rate is extremely low
-
To prevent the game from being too short, you have to do the same dungeons multiple times, just with stronger enemies.
-
Also, the character model borrows from Nier Replicant, which had a younger protagonist, making the much older, in the U.S. version, Nier move a little oddly times.

The sidequests were still horrible (well, the fishing was kind of cool), but the more enjoyable combat made them tolerable
-
I found the combat bland, the graphics average at best, the sidequests were ridiculously bad, and story was weak

I picked this up on a whim after seeing it on sale and hearing the game praised by a lot of users despite the poor critical reviews.

I put off buying Nier due to the lukewarm reviews, but I tried it when I was betwen other "must-have"
-
I was a little apprehensive about buying this game because the reviews where less than kind, I would really have been mad at myself if I let this one slip by.

Reviews around daughter (1.29 of 5)
-
The two travel around searching out sealed verses that they think hold the key to curing the daughter's sickness
-
The game's basic plot involves Nier, a man that must take care of his sick daughter while ridding the world of horrible creatures
-
To keep it simple, you play in Nier as one character, who is searching for a cure for his sick daughter
-
I don't like having to feel guilt tripped by a sick dying daughter all the time

You start as a man/mercenary that is trying to find a cure for his sick daughter

Reviews around people (1.26 of 5)
-
The people that are bashing this game for stupid unimportant things like the graphics don't look like a Pixar movie have no idea what gameplay is all about, those are the same people that play with the box because it is pretty and not the toy inside
-
People with a certain mindset will simply hate this game or see it as an insult to gamers
-
Some people complain about the loading, but they are not as frequent and as bad as Bayonetta was
-
Nier will very much be a niche title, appealing to those who like Japanese RPG's first and foremost, people who like action RPG's but don't necessarily like JRPG's, may want to consider renting this before purchasing.
-
I'll keep this review short, since I mainly wanted to post it to counter all the hate people project at this great game

and you will be sent into it for many reasons, to deliver fragile packages that will break if you are knocked down or jump, to kill sheep and harvest mutton to a fussy lady with tons of fat children, or to run off and save your Daughter.

Reviews around hour (1.00 of 5)
-
A couple of times I had to waste over an hour of progress because I had to quit, and there was no save point in sight.
-
All this being said, the game will still kill 20 some odd hours if you want to complete it
