Impressive time wasters ..

Since there are very detailed reviews for gameplay, I shall be in my review short and to say something about the technology.
First, it should be mentioned that I habe.Umso not played the Wii original gratifying that it has Nintendo dared to press this really extensive title to handheld format. That the title only on the New 3DS models running should be clear. The porting was certainly not so easily possible, and was bought by graphical compromises. Nevertheless, the game looks really good, although you have to take in places stronger edge flares in purchasing. For the foresight in the game is phenomenal and the textures of distant mountains / rock look really good. Beforehand I had read on the Internet, on the N3DS Xenoblade is a "Ruckelorgie". That is absolute nonsense. The game runs as smooth as silk in my eyes, I've noticed only very brief and hardly noticeable during fighting slight framerate fluctuations. The biggest for me gripe is not really on the game itself, but the low resolution of the screen of the 3DS owed. The relatively small font in the menus is somewhat blurred, whether you play in 2D, or 3D. The same problem I have, incidentally, noted even in the two Monster Hunter games on 3DS. You can read it of course, but in times of Full HD smartphones that acts a bit weird ;-)
The sound, however, is beyond reproach and is excellent over.
The controls are precise, in particular to control the camera with the new C-stick works just fine.
If one has to start somewhere with this game, you no longer puts it so quickly out of hand. Away from the main story, I find myself again in how I am seized with the collection and search delusion. So I wanted to yesterday evening actually play only half an hour and at one time it was 2 hours, and I forget everything around me. I think this is the best proof that it is a really good game, which draws a immediately under his spell. It's just fun to explore the vast world to train his party in fighting and to fulfill sidequests.
Anyone who has played the game on the Wii has to decide whether he wants to go into battle again .. who but how I missed the game at that time itself, now gets a chance to catch it. The lightweight Graphic downgrade is bearable.

As the game nothing for the low resolution of the 3DS displays can I forgive the full 5 stars. Strong buy recommendation. An incredible time-waster for not even EUR 40.00 .. Price / performance = Excellent :-)
