Not a bad game but...

I enjoyed this game initially very much and played many hours trying to get more bonus fish freed up for aquarium screen saver.  After a while though, the game started to become repetitive and more time consuming than I was willing so I stopped.

Even though I gave average rating, as long as this game is free download then it is worthwhile to play as long as you have the energy and time.

I love Final Fantasy and have been playing each installment ever since I was young. I also enjoyed Final Fantasy 13 even though many did not, it may not have been a great Final Fantasy but I enjoyed the game anyways. Because of the enjoyment I had playing Final Fantasy 13 as soon as I heard Final Fantasy 13-2 was announced I wanted it. Unfortunately, though the game is fun it is not as good as I had hoped.

PROS -
-The game has much more explorations and gives you a lot of freedom from the start.

-The monster mechanic is pretty fun and collecting and infusing to make an ultimate monster in endgame will prove to be very fun.

CONS -
-The story is not even finished, I payed $80 for an unfinished game to say I am angry would be an understatment

-The music though not necessarily bad is by far my least favorite of all the FF games which is disappointing since I payed $40 more for the collectors edition.(since Amazon was giving $20 credit on normal edition)

-The game is unbelievably easy even on normal difficulty. Final Fantasy 13 wasn't necessarily hard but at least it wasn't so easy you dominated everything. The game is so easy I kill bosses usually in less than 90 seconds and I haven't went out of my way to farm at all, in fact I stopped spending crystarium points about 25 hours into the game because I was hoping the game would get harder but no it hasn't I still kill every pack of monsters I run into in less that 5-10 seconds.

-Lastly my biggest gripe which is the scourge of gaming in my opinion and will only get worse, DLC. It has already been announced that things that would normally have been in a Final Fantasy game will be released in the future as DLC, this includes a finished story. Yes, you read right the story is not finished and it has already been announced that extra character stories will be released in the future and that Lightnings would bring about the resolution of the end of the game. Also, in the casino there is a card game that has not been implemented yet and when asking how to play it gives a message saying will be available in future downloadable content. The coliseum which is kind of like the one in Final Fantasy 10 where you can pick a boss to fight is also a mainly dlc feature with the earliest bosses being classic lightning and master sergeant Amodar for $3 being released on February 7th.

CONCLUSION -
This is the first review I have ever written so it is not that great. Yes, I know there is probably lots of grammar errors if you want to point them out in comments so I can correct them in future reviews that would be great. Overall, Final Fantasy 13-2 is still fun which I why I gave it a 4/5 for fun. The reason for the 3/5 rating is because the game is unfinished with the rest of the story being released in DLC at a later date which just sickens and infuriates me, I think my 3/5 is very generous considering this but I am enjoying the game regardless so I will cut it some slack. I can only hope this money milking trend called DLC does not get any worse than it already has but I foresee a future where 75% of a game is with held for DLC. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against DLC my main problem with it is the rampant abuse of DLC currently in the market. I have bought every single Final Fantasy since 7 the day it was released (excluding FF11 and FF14) but if Square continues this disgusting practice it started with FF13-2 I will wait for each one to drop to $20 before I buy them in the future for a couple of reasons. Not only will waiting for it to drop to $20 make up for all the money I will be spending on DLC but I usually do not even bother with DLC even if it is something I would want because after beating a game I rarely go back to it as I am busy with other games.

It's a fact that there is a lack of local multplayer games available. They just don't make games like TMNT (any of then) , Golden Axe , ............ . So I took a risk and tried this one. It's better than expected in some aspects, and not so good at others.

the not so good:
- the camera sucks on multplayer , sometimes you will get total lost.
- drive the vehicles isn't the easier thing

But overall it's won't stop your fun. Just go for an unpretensious gameplay , it's not AC , o Batman Arkham or Dark Souls . it's a take a laught game . It's to get some buddies and just hit some monsters.

It's a 5 star fun game in the end. And a 4 star game , if we had more options on multplayer probably it would be a 3 star game or 2,5 but considering that there isn't many options out there it goes for a 4 star without regret.

and costing $ 2,75 , there is not much thinking to be done

It was a fun gane to play, unfortunately a bit repetitive. The puzzles are the same through the game, but the price was good for what it is. It is mainly a shooting game, and I was expected more form it. Overall, it is a good game though.

Well, first off, let me say the game can be fun if you're into creating armies of Aliens, Predators and Marines, pitting them against your enemies and spending an hour on dragging around bodies, picking up trophies and fixing Atmospheric Processors. I like that kind of stuff, so it was fun for me. But too short. There are many levels in the game that the second time through can be beaten in fifteen minutes. The graphics are okay, control scheme simple to learn, and overall gameplay addicting. But the major flaw is in the fact it's too simple and repetitive. The environments stick close to same for each playable races, aliens are usually in a dank cave or jungle, humans in a building or mine, and Predators in a jungle or Alien hive. The races don't stick to close to the films they appear in, most of the 'new' species of Aliens are infact non-canon, meaning they aren't officially real in the films, but most don't car about that. Another thing is on going back through, there should be some sort of upgrade or cheat allowing you for a more free-play like game. That's not there, which I was a bit disappointed in. But overall, it was fun the first time through, replay value is slim and it was good while it lasted.

Several of the components in the box were severely worn, which was really frustrating. But I am going to assume I just got the unfortunate copy and review the game itself.

Overall the game itself is okay. There is some strategy in there behind all the dice rolling, but at the end of the day its still just a yahtzee variant. I would prefer to see a lot more variation between the characters so I might get the expansion and give it another chance, but for now my gaming time is too precious to waste on this game as there are several other medium group size filler games that are just more fun.

If you aren't into the hobby game scene, this might be a good gateway game into bigger and better games as its very simple to pick up and play.

After the first madden came out on the 360 I was pretty upset at what ea did to the greatest football franchise ever. It lacks alot of what the ps2 model had. Player movement was horrible and you could not really control the linebackers in anyway. I was looking forward to the new un-rushed title of ncaa football 07 for the 360. Luckily I rented the game first before buying. Overall the game is not terrible terrible,its just not the best that I have played. I don't know about you but if I payed 500 bucks for a console, I would want a great football game at least. Ncaa is somewhat dissapointing because of player movement and lots of features that were left out from the xbox and ps2 version. Although the camera angle was corrected and you can play alittle defense in this game somewhat,overall play is average not excellent. Madden is the cream of the crop when it comes to football games and now I don't think I will be buying it when it comes out next month. I will be trading in my 360 for a ps3 when it comes out. Hopefully Madden is not as dissapointing.

An enjoyable game, but could be better.  The rules could have used better wording.  I looked on line for a faq, but the game designers seem to be mum on some of the confusing parts.  We've made up some "house rules" where they were unclear and enjoy it nonetheless.

Another survival game.  It's not bad but it's not great either.

It's a pretty average game. There have been plenty of improvements such as movement where you can now climb walls of reasonable heights and can bash through doors by sprinting to them. There are also more assignments to help level up. The "power" weapons scattered through the map aren't that bad, and many run to them.

The one thing I do hate is the small amounts of weapons and the minimized amount of customization (hmm... bayonet or no bayonet which do I choose?), and just to add insult to injury you will need to buy more weapons through dlc. Turns out, a dlc will come with a double barreled shotgun which I know I will like, but it just doesn't feel right to pay for something that is literally already in the game to put it into your original 4 soldier classes. The way the spawning works or map design feels too chaotic. You are getting attacked from all sides. The weapons take some time to get good with, and in my experience, I have found only one gun I enjoy using, which makes the game boring.

While I do like the giant maps in this game, I don't think it fits in to this game; there is a small amount of transport leaving you to run to the objective in the open. Pretty soon, your moving for multiple minutes to the objective just to get killed. There are extra weapons depending on the vehicle you chose, like the cavalry gets a lever action rifle, the tanker gets a modified pistol turned into a carbine, and more. The unfortunate thing to me is the guns I really want to try and regularly use aren't in your standard four classes. I would love to have a double barrel sawn off shotgun, or a rifle chambered by a revolver, but they are only offered to the pilot or tanker classes.

I liked it but the controls are somewhat difficult. And It seemed to me that the player really never did what I wanted him to do. It got me caught/dead before because of this. The graphics and story line are ok enough to keep you interested in the game.

I enjoy this game, though it is a little slow-moving for me.  Sometimes I miss some of the obvious words, but I guess that's normal.  I just keep plodding along until I either solve them all or just give up and go on to the next level.  All in all, a fun way to pass the time.

I think it's better than the rating I gave it but something about this game still makes me think a little less of it. But wouldn't mind playing this game again if I had time.

A decent game, but it's not exactly the type that you can just jump right in and play with no warm-up. Its got cool mechanics and such but it can be hard to get used to. It's extremely stealth-based as well and any frontal-assaults you try to pull off will guarantee you a swift death. The graphics.... while not horrible are definitely showing their age, you have to keep in mind that this was originally made for different systems.

This could be argued, but my personal experience with the story didn't have me interested, granted this is only after playing the first mission. There were a lot of elements I didn't pick up on and I kept wondering if there was a part of the story I was missing.

Its not a very pricy game in the first place so it cant hurt to pick it up, but just remember what you're getting into.

This game is not bad but I wasn't that impressed either.  I got it for a good price so I feel like I got my money's worth.  I was ready to be done with it towards the end though.  If you can get it for under $20, I'd say go for it.

I have two reasons why I gave the game a three stars. The first reason is that the game improved from the last one but not quite what I expected. I feel that the grown mechanics improved but it is really hard to control. The second and final reason is the online lag. I thought that the previous game had really bad lag but I guess this one is worse. Apart from that, the game is okay but not great.

I have been a fan of GG for a long while and was exicted when I heard that the next game would be an action game, but sadly it falls short of my expectations. Don't get me wrong the game is not terrible it just gets repetitive. Most of the missons involve a  kind of "capture the base" where you and your enemy battle for control over "ghosts" and then once you've captured all the ghosts you must destroy the enemys "masterghost" which is their base. One thing that disappointed me was the lack of characters, the only ones from the original game series are Sol Badguy and Ky (but Ky is nonplayable) while the rest are newcomers. Also in the game are these things you can summon on the battlefield called "servents" which fight along side you, it kinda reminded me of Chaos Legion for PS2. Overall its a decent game if you're a fan of Guilty Gear if not you might want to look elsewere.
