GamingShogun reviews Square Enix's latest action-RPG, Nier, for the Xbox 360 platform. Nier tells the tale of a father trying to save his daughter from a deadly plague and, from the looks of it, also takes some seriously weird twists in the process.

"Everything in the game is presented in a serious tone, though it’s hard to take the game seriously when your main party consists of a wisecracking book and a lingerie-wearing hermaphrodite with a filthier mouth than a Tarantino script. Most of the game seems to have been developed around a core concept of “Wouldn’t it be cool if…” though there’s not enough cool to forgive some of the lack of polish to be found within the game.

Nier has loads of ambition but it drops the ball in several areas. There’s something to be said for being able to do one thing well versus doing many things poorly..."
