GET OUTTA MY WAY!
Well here we are, first on top of the news as always, and Gaming Age Forums tells it like it is. I got Xenogears 2 yesterday after work, and after a few hours of playing I'm ready to tell you, all my friends and even some coworkers, what I think of this Playstation 2 episode.
First thing's first, you do not need to know any foreign languages to play this. I do not include Japanese because if you're playing it, you probably know Japanese already. There's a secret to the title, but I won't tell you, because then who knows, maybe it won't come true.
EL BREAKDOWN:
GRAPHICS: They call it the "Land of the Rising Sun" for a reason: when it rises, they're hard at work, and Namco has worked its tail off making this game so beautiful. I don't know what they do to make graphics this lifelike, but if we could use it in modern movies I'd like to see it. Characters will smile and laugh when appropriate, and you might laugh, too. It's funny sometimes.
AUDIO: The guys (and girls) at Namco are what I call Modern Day Mozarts. Sound so good it should be illegal (but not here in California). I turned my speakers up really loudly just so it'd hit my ears a little harder. The clangs of the weapons and rata-tata-tata scared me half to death. Check your fears at the door.
STORY: I will say this first off: I like watching cutscenes. OK there you go, you can make fun of me now. There are a lot in this game, but I have stayed glued to the television morning noon and night watching this thing, and for some reason I can't say no. Last night I missed my favorite TV shows. You know why? I spent all night watching this. And although I will not spoil there story, let me say... what you thought you knew, well it isn't true anymore. The true enemy is yet to come.
GAMEPLAY: I can do this! Sometimes when I get RPGs I'm a little overwhelmed by the complexities of it all, but this one is OK for me. I really feel accomplished now with my characters, and KOS-MOS and all that can beat up on even the worst enemies. Look out, cause here I come.
Overall I must say that this is a game for the ages. Something for everybody is here, and you won't be left out. It's very fun so far, but if you don't know Japanese (or have a Japanese cousin like I do) then you might have to leave this one out in the rain.
Until then, goodbye and happy day.
