Mean Machines gave it 47% iirc, looked and sounded great, played quite well but maaaassively fell down on those lastability points. I had it on MS before I got a MD. That one had 5 stages as it cheekily counted Tech Noir as a whole one.

It's about a girl who is playing a real life MMO (a bit like Westworld, except it's in a JRPG type setting, and you have your own fabricated avatars). She's lost her memory in the game and is trying to find out why. There's more to it than that.
It's a bit subversive in that you are playing a pretty standard JRPG story but with characters who are playing along with that. It doesn't wink at the camera too much and works pretty well. Combat's really fun and challenging too, and it has zelda style dungeons. Only done a couple but they're pushing me.
It's a neat little game, and the only issues I have with it so far are the side quests (which are pretty dull and unfortunately necessary, if you want to be sufficiently levelled up) and platforming (the angle of the camera is such that it's hard to tell what layer of scenery you're supposed to be leaping too. Frustrating stuff and adds little to the game). Well worth a look if you enjoy action rpgs, pretty cheap too.
