I got this game on the PS3. While it's a little dumb that online play is locked until you play it for a while, I really like everything else. Even if you're alone, you can find the bones of adventurers that you can revive into AI allies, so you'll rarely be completely alone if you don't want to be. I am playing as the elf right now because my friend intends to be the amazon, and while I wasn't sure if I'd like being an archer I'm actually having a surprising amount of fun with her. The game kinda feels like a D&D campaign thanks to the minimalist story and the presence of a narrator who does pretty much all the voices outside of shop dialogue and battle cries.
On another note, I have yet to run into any framerate issues.
