I just got the game a few days ago and I think it's great. After I got it I was reluctant to play it due to the reviews I've read, but once I loaded it up and defeated the first boss I knew it was a good game, despite the linearity and lack of certain elements that was to come. Great graphics, which I'm usually not an advocate of (gameplay > graphics IMO), and a great soundtrack, plus one of the best battle systems of the series makes it a must-have for any fans of Final Fantasy. The story so far I enjoy as well, though I'm not too fond of traveling 30 yards to watch another flashback. All in all, it's a great game, and I hope I don't finish it too soon :P
Disregard the bad reviews, as the linearity serves the plot (a lot like FFX). No shops? Big deal. I can't remember when shops were important other than stocking up on healing items anyway, which is still the only use for them in FFXIII. Anyone skeptical about buying it, just go ahead and buy it :D
