Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music

What did Eternal Sonata leave in you?
on: May 04, 2010, 02:51:26 AM
I played (and I want to play it again) the videogame Eternal Sonata.

In my opinion, it is one of the greatest videogames I've ever played. Great soundtrack, great storyline.

It's educative and appears one of my most favourite pianist in the world.

Has anyone played it? What is your opinion about it?

I guess it's left a void.  A giant black void.  A soulless, giant, black void, but that's a given, of course.

I played it and was disappointed, great idea but too redictable, too childish and lousy plot. Great battlesystem though.

"Eternal sonata" did leave nothing within me because it has yet to be composed....
