I bought XIII a few months ago for the 360 for $10 bucks and hated it - never even got to disk two. It started out extremely slow, was way too linear, and the battles consisted of mostly mutton mashing. :/ It had some nice qualities though - the graphics, for one, were outstanding; and the engine used to build the game components off of feels very slick. Since XIII-2 I hear is built from the same engine it's possible they fixed what was crap in the first one game-play wise, but if it's mostly more of the same I think I'll pass. -I was a big fan of ff12, for the record.

Anyone play this yet? Is it much better than XIII?
