Presentation
A fantastic Anime opening only begins to highlight a game that's filled to the brim with personality, panache, and individuality. 9.0
Graphics
The character designs and townships look great, but the enemies remain uninspired and the occasional slowdown knocks it down a bit. 8.5
Sound
You've got your memorable tracks and you've got your not so memorable tracks, but on the whole, quite enjoyable (where's the surround sound?). 8.5
Gameplay
Fast and easy, the classic Suikoden gameplay model is back with all the proper improvements. Oh how I do miss those massive-scale battles though. 9.1
Lasting Appeal
There are mini-games, 108 characters, secret point-of-views, hidden spells, special items, multiple endings, and a list of things I can't even begin to remember. Awesome! 9.7
OVERALL SCORE (not an average) 9.4
