The GameDaily One-Minute Review

With Eternal Sonata, Namco Bandai managed to create a quality adventure gamers should appreciate. Somewhat strangely, despite all of the musical references that fill the world, the emphasis on music is not as strong as some might expect, and this can lead to some disappointment, as can the sub par voice acting. It's by no means perfect, but with an enchanting story, a fairly unique combat system that is both real-time, turn-based, and gorgeously colorful landscapes to traipse through, most players will find more than enough in the roughly 30 hours of play time to justify the $60 purchase.
