7, 9, 8 for me. Granted, I've only played the LR demo, and it's nice (if extremely short), but XIII-2 is still the high point IMO.
I also think that XIII-2 will remain the high point for me. Guess my personal verdict will be like:
XIII: 7
XIII-2: 9
LR: 8 (based on what I've played of the jp version + impressions)
Gameplay was a bit barebones for me in XIII. I don't know why I prefer the sequels as they are 'not good' in the story department, but I had a blast with them.
XIII-2 is one of the most fun jRPGs of this gen imo. And I think that it should've been a standalone game rather than being part of the XIII series.
