Wikipedia on Infinite Undiscovery Reviews:

Infinite Undiscovery has recieved average reviews with an average of 69 on Metacritic and 70 on Gamerankings. IGN gave it a 7.1 saying “This isn’t a game marred with horrendous bugs or unplayable combat. And it’s not boring. It’s just misguided. The story is intriguing enough that RPG fanatics should at least give this a rental.” 1UP gave it a B saying “Undiscovery is absolutely worth playing through at least once, with the regrettable caveat that it really could’ve been so much more.” Gamepro gave it a 3 out of 5 saying “In the end, Undiscovery isn’t a bad game but it is seriously flawed. I’d recommend renting it before you invest your hard earned cash on a purchase, especially if you’re new to the RPG genre.” GamesRader gave it a 7 out of 10 saying “When it’s acting like a run-of-the-mill JRPG, it feels clichéd, but reasonably enjoyable. When it tries to be innovative, however, its unsatisfying combat, superfluous subsystems and wasted ensemble cast make the whole experience feel half-hearted.”
