You can tell who hasn't played this when they repeat stuff like "no voice acting" and "empty world". Even people saying it runs at "20fps or lower throughout". While docked it certainly does dip every now and again, but it isn't nearly as bad, mostly hitting the 30fps mark and never dipping below 20fps. Calling it slow to load is also objectively wrong, considering it takes a fraction of the time discs take to load and without mandatory installs. This said, in lieu of the hundreds of false reviews from less than trustworthy users, the game is astonishing. The aesthetic (because it is an artistic direction, not graphics) is beautiful, and with the true to life ambience and fluid animations, it is something that draws you in and keeps you there. It is easy to pick it up for a quick session only to find that hours have passed. There's lots to do in between the 120 shrines and 900 hidden Korok puzzles, including cataloguing items in the world and experimenting with different recipes or just exploring the freedom of the physics engine created, something not common in such large games. NPCs are colorful themselves, flush with personality and providing optional quests for the player should they seek them out. The musical score, while much more hushed and stoic in comparison to the previous entries' adventurous beat, is a welcome change of pace especially for such a large world. The voice acting, a first for the series, is great as well and not something I thought would have been handled as well as it did. All in all, I stand by the critics. The game is fun, engaging, and a welcome entry for anyone interested in the genre and willing to give it the time of day.

Netherealm Studios has completely messed up their series after such a great entry as Mortal Kombat 9. Not even mentioning how broken the PC version is, the story is horrible, the character line-up leaves much to be desired, the fatalities are toned down and the gameplay is a step back from MK9. I can't find it in myself to enjoy this game.

An Action RPG made for the fans of One Piece and the genre alike. Good gameplay, beautiful environments and an intriguing story make this game worth playing. A great port that looks wonderful on the 3DS with just a dab of extra content revolving around the Whitebeard War arc, this is definitely worth your time. I believe this game deserves the critical acclaim it has achieved overseas and that the 9/10 score it claims should speak for itself.
