Good story, great visuals.

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.

After completing Nier, it is actually difficult to start playing other games, since their story seem so silly, bland and shallow (I tried the original

The flipside to all this, unfortunately, is that this grand story is supported by a game that only provides a mediocre gameplay experience.

The story is not bad but the sidequests lack any real story, most of them are simply go grind for these items, go back, get reward, rinse and repeat.

It has a good story line, excellent gameplay, and the characters are well developed.

Long story short, play this masterpiece.

Story is interesting enough, but really fun on the second play through.

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

The good story is just a side-effect of that

To give you a baseline, before this game I thought Final Fantasy 6 and 10 had the best stories of all time and was torn between them as to which one was best

The story is the best I have ever experienced in Video games, bar none.

While it is by no means perfect, the story is well worth going through and took me around 24 hours played to get all four endings

I like the characters and story

It mixes hack-n-slash and JRPG gameplay and tells one of the best stories I have EVER experienced in gaming

The story and music are absolutely amazing, and if you are looking for a good story, look absolutely no further.

The game has four different endings and the overall story is quite good

The story is really intriguing, the characters are interesting, the music is extraordinary, and the scenery is exactly what a dying world should look like - lonely, endless, and beautiful.

The story is AMAZING (be sure to google and read "grimoir Nier" but don't do it until after you finish the game [...])

The story, so far, is like nothing I have seen before.

I personally think it's the best video game soundtrack of all time, but you should decide for yourself (by searching youtube for the soundtrack).Story: This is what makes this game good, and it's not obvious that it has a great story until you get to the second playthrough

Lots of places to go, amazing story line, had a lot of fun with this one.

The story felt very gritty and realistic

From what I played (about 6-8 hours) of it, the story was pretty good, and the voice acting was decent as well.

If you are a fan of JRPGs, Anime, Great stories or strange

I the game has 4 endings, all revealing more shocking and unexpected story twists... new cut scenes, and other FUN stuff.

but overall this game should not be skipped by anyone that appreciates a deep story in their gaming.

The story was fascinating, more so after completing the game the first time and seeing where the Shades come from and what they are saying.

I found the combat bland, the graphics average at best, the sidequests were ridiculously bad, and story was weak

The story was decent but left a lot of things open.

The story takes place in the future earth where a disease/plague dubbed the scourge is killing everyone it infects

Excellent story that murders your emotions and really is heart-wrenching

The story is good enough to keep you interested

You have to beat the game to unlock her back story but nonetheless her back story is sad and gripping

But to those who enjoy a deep and unique story and characters this is a must have

The story is very complex and you won't understand the whole thing on the first play through, and there's a total of 4 play throughs so it has a good amount of replay value

The story is THAT good.

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.

I will not spoil anything, but I simply can not give the story enough praise!

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

if u like action RPG games and good story ,than thats ur game .

What I will tell you is that the story is incredible and amazingly somber and sad.

Outstanding, original story that actually gets better with multiple playthroughs...check

Nier's story is exceptionally dark and quite depressing at times.

and I would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable story.

In addition, the story starts out strong and intriguing, but generally fails to deliver in later areas

If you miss games which are actually fun and have a good story as well, then don't miss out on Nier

Though if you don't see yourself as a gamer, or are an older gamer who has become bored of competitive games, and want an amazing story that will make you think, learn, and potentially change the way you see the world, give Nier a try.

Nier was an interesting experience, the gameplay wasn't complex, but the story was quite intriguing.

The main story is original, though very depressing at times, but the side missions lack variety.

It's really strange - the story of the game is a sap-filled joke for the first half of the game

For those of you gamers who loved the memorable and emotional stories of the classic Square games of days past, you'll feel right at home here, thrust into the middle of one of the best stories that the medium of video games has ever produced

ive been told its story is good such rare gem

cool story line , blew average graphic , nice combat system !

It has one of the most beautiful story and intriguing combat system

Engrossing story and great characters combined with beautiful music makes this one of the best "niche" games in recent years.

The main story is original, though very depressing at times, but the side missions lack variety.

In addition, the story starts out strong and intriguing, but generally fails to deliver in later areas

While the quests are fairly interesting, story-wise, in gameplay terms they amount to an annoying amount of running back and forth delivering stuff to people

This game has a great story and great gameplay.

While not the longest game by any means, it has an engaging story that really pulls you into the game.+Engaging Story+Multiple endings, each playthrough you get more information, and the final ending.... does something no other game does

The fun gameplay is eclipsed only by the great characters and story

I started off playing it and doubted buying it at first, but the story was so ambiguous and mysterious it makes you want to play more so you can find out what's going on
