It's the best game I've ever played!!!!!!! |
| Vince Natoli from St.louis,MO,USA says (19/Aug/2003): |
This game is the best game I've ever played in my entire life! But this game needs to be better than 10 stars to be the best. But at least 20 stars to have this game be the best game that most gamers have ever played in there entire gaming lives.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE GAME! |
| Dragon Master from Alberta, Canada says (21/Aug/2003): |
This is an all around good game! It has action, comedy, a good story line, and it has a great role-playing attitude to it! I loved this game and would play it over and over again! When compairing the second to the first I found that: The graphics improved alot, they had voice actings and dubbing, the storyline was much clearer, and it kept you guessing until the end! I was actually sad to see it beat but, all good things don't last forever!Anyone who doesn't like it must be crazy! (or they just didn't pay attention and get into the characters and story line!)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| steven from washington says (27/Jun/2003): |
I love the challanges and the fact you can change their outfits and inventing items . the ride pod is really cool.the whole thing about getting people on your train and getting them in your party. Its a lot easier than the first Dark Cloud because you don't have to worry about your thirst. I miss getting to rebuild villages, but Dark Cloud 2 offers an invention list that you can make, like weapons, or a new energy pack for Steve.I mean all the other rpg games like zealda and Deus Ex(Witch is vary ,vary changling and good graphics) Dark cloud rules them all. Dark Cloud 2 is one of the best RPG games of the year. The characters in the game are better. It is not as kiddy as the first. Dark Cloud number 2 has more stuff you can do. I can't wait to buy Dark Cloud 3 when they relase it!!!

145 hours and counting |
| suzi from Minneapolis, MN says (8/Jul/2003): |
I have been playing Dark Cloud 2 for over 145 hours now and I have to say that I am still not bored with it. I have become obsessed with doing everything the game has to offer and building up everything is a lot of fun. Dark Cloud 2 is by far my favorite game of all time and I will keep playing until I can't take it anymore, even if it takes 145 more hours.
|
This is one of the best RPGs |
| Amber from Bloomington, IN says (28/Jul/2003): |
I love this game. I am addicted to it. Im 80 hours into it and can not beat Lord Griffon. I love a game that gives me a challenge though. The story is also incredible and very original. The graphics are awesome too. I would give this game a 10!
|
Best game I own, and probably always will be! |
| Stan Man 63 and a third from Maryland, USA says (9/Aug/2003): |
I rented this game and loved it so much I bought it! I've seen numerous PS2 games that aren't up to the standard of graphics, but this game actually has great graphics. Dark Cloud 2 will keep you playing for at least 90 hours. If you like to get everything in a game then it'll take you more like 110 hours. Dark Cloud 1 was good, but it definately needed numerous touch ups, and for once a company took this into consideration. You can also make inventions, raise fish, play spheda(golf), and find scoops. If you are in any way passionate about RPGs, I urge you rent it at least. You'll be glad you did.

this game is awsome |
| katie and wes from brantford ON says (19/Jan/2004): |
this game is very addictive you dont stop playing it...just two days ago me and my boyfriend rented it and were already up to 30 hours into it....its really hard in some parts though were only on level 2 and were having diffacultys on finding how to take the boss out of the pondit doesnt explain anywhere i think it might have something to do with inventing things with the pictures but we still need to find more pictures!!!hint: the more you build up your weapon the bigger and cooler the monsters are and the more pictures of things you take thats unique the more you go along you relize that you need them so take pictures when your up to 30 just save them in your photo book and keep taking more...but if anyone has any hints for level 2 and on e-mail me at.....sexy_mofo04< remove me > at hotmail.com
thanks and enjoy the game if you have it.......

Dark cloud 2 |
| LaMarr from San Diego California USA says (15/Mar/2003): |
This game is the bomb The characters are cool the monster are cool the dungeon is cool . This game should be the greatist hits . I hope they makke anothere dark cloud game and play it for hours . If they rate this game 1 they are stupid . Who ever has PS2 buy this game its called Dark cloud 2 its really fun.

Rent it first; buy if you like it |
| Scott from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada says (22/Mar/2003): |
Personaly, I really enjoyed Dark Cloud 2. Sure, it may not be for everyone, but for a hardcore RPG fan it's a must have. I also think that as a sequel it adds to the prevoius game and improves upon it. For example, the Georamma plays an actual part in the game play. Now you actually have to finish a village in order to continue on with game. I also like the fact that you have to worry about three characters this time around instead of six(boring). The weapon customization has also been improved as has the character customization. But what sets this sequel apart from its predecior is the ability to invent items by taking pictures! Not only that but in order for some of the NPC's to join you, you have to take specific pictures in order to convince them (pretty clever if you ask me). But like I said it's not for everyone. If my review can't convince you to go out and buy it, at least rent it for the weekend and try it for yourselves. Trust me, you'll be glad that you did.

Zelda Killer? no. Happy companion? yes. |
| Jeremy from Kentucky, USA says (6/May/2003): |
STORY: The story is okay. In fact, it's kinda weak compared to the story driven epics of Final Fantasy, Xenosaga and anything else from that console RP powerhouse, Squaresoft. But, that's perfectly fine; Dark Cloud 2 isn't a story driven game. It's a character and gameplay driven game. Unlike Final Fantasy and Zenosaga, you don't have 500 hours of FMV guiding you by the hand to the end of the game. You actually have to play this one folks. It's an action RPG in the style and spirit of Zelda. The cutscenes in this game are short and sweet, and placed where appropriate. Also added is a handy feature: since the cutscenes aren't FMV, you can pause them, in case nature calls in the middle of a crucial movie, or you can skip them altogether. The story is just fine for the style.
GAMEPLAY: This is where Dark Cloud 2 shines. The controls are solid, simple, and easy to learn. In fact, there's a help system in game in case you forget something. The majority of gameplay is dungeon crawling, supplemented and driven by the Georama system, which leads me into a sub-category of gameplay that well call dungeon crawling. Dungeon crawling should be familiar to the older FF players, and anyone that's played Zelda. Thing is, there is quite a bit of it in this game. Some of the dungeons are massive, to the point of becoming monotinous. This is broken up a bit by the dungeons being segmented into "floors" between which you can leave the dungeon, and return to the floor you were about to play. But there's still a lot of it. Almost too much. But, if you're like me, you have the stones to tough it out.
CHARACTERS: Holy $#< remove me > at ! on a stick Batman! We have support characters coming out our nose! There's only 2 playable characters: Max and Monica. Max is the rougeish Han Solo-esque son of the first town's richest citizens. He kicks ass, in the fact that he's not a puss like some unnamed characters *cough*Zidane*cough*, he carries a gun, which is good for ranged attacks, and he can be armed with either a wrench, which is what you start with, or a hammer. Basically, he's an armed repair technician and inventor. Yes, Max can use his overly bulky digital camera to take idea pictures, and combine them into inventions. Some of the game's most powerful weapons cannot be found: Max has to build them. Max also has a mecha. I think Max is short for "Maximum Destruction" which becomes true later, when Max gets a laser pistol and his mech gets the "nova cannon".
The female lead, and other playable character is Monica, a hottie from 100 years in the future. She's a princess, to boot. She uses swords and magic; in using a sword, she gets way more weapons than Max, and she's faster, though not as powerful. Her magic armband allows her to toss fireballs, or absorb enemy elemental magic, and use it herself. Max and Monica can both get multiple costumes, but I only focus on getting Monica a costume: You can get her a Lum bikini. (Lum is a popular anime character in Japan. Why am I saying this, RPG players are anime freaks.)
There's too many support characters to count, and all of them offer useful abilities. You can choose one to take into a dungeon with you, which saves you the trouble of having to hunt for them, wherever you put them.
Overall, this game is a good one for Zelda players. I'd suggest you rent before you buy, though, as DC2 won't be everyone's cup of tea.

who needs the zealda games when you have this |
| Wes from USA says (10/Jun/2003): |

| Kenny Ristich from Plainfield,U.S.A says (21/Jun/2003): |
the best part of dark cloud 2 is that it's better than the origanal,you get to choose what you want to do when you want to,you'll fall in love with the charecters,you get to ride in a large (customizible) robot thingy, you can create an item with the make feature, the items are cool, the story line has twists and turns , the enemys are very mindblowingly awsome,you can play again and again with a diffrent party of charecters, the extras are pretty cool, and you restore forests and stuff! you'll love this creative, ultra-fun, super-cinnamatic,gem of a rpg! dark cloud 2 is defainitly a fantastic game.

awsoem the best rpg game that i'v seen all summer. |
| robert f from oregon-city oregon-state U.S.A. says (24/Jul/2003): |
it's one of the best games i have seen in a while cuse it gives you the abillity to build and creat thing that you find from a camra wich is sorta wierd and then get the part's to actually build it and like the first one you can build-up the weapons and save the world from evil again but it can be hard some times that's y they call it vigeranc it's like the saying eat or be eatin survival of the fittess plus it can and might teach you leadership,teamwork and possibly other skill's like those who aim at great deeds must also suffer greatly and Many a time . . . frome a bad beginning great friendships have sprung up. as well as Fortune helps the brave.and last but not least
He who is wies tries everything before arms.

One of the most enjoyable games I've played |
| Dexter from CANADA EH (AB BEEF ROCKS) says (6/Aug/2003): |
I have just recently bought this game and I am already hooked on it, it is a unique and challenging game, the graphics aren't bad. The storyline is really good and i find taht it really cool that u can invent stuff. It's really enjoyable to play, but it isn't the best game I've ever played (Final Fantasy X all the way)
|
THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| stuart troncalli from USA says (10/Aug/2003): |
I totally recomend this game.If you don't have it go out and buy it.But I'm stuck on chapter 4.I'll figure it eventually.You can event items using Max's invention menu,and the georama menu is even better than before.You can makecopies of houses and stuff like that.[P.S.you find georama items in dungeons or\and you can buy them].The monsters are even cooler and you can build up weapons.
|
Even better than DK1! |
| Brady from Texas,USA says (8/Nov/2003): |
This game is awsome! I'm currently at the Starlight canyon.
This is by far better than DK1 and the best game i have ever played.. (hint) if you get corrine on your train... you can buy hair-clips for monica. (most of them are really pretty!) You can buy outfits for everyone... CLOTHING SHOPS: Max's overalls-Jurak mall,Max's shoes-Max's family butler after recruited,Monicas hair accesories-after recruting corrine,ALOT of extra and extreme outfits-mayor after recruited. As you can tell, my main priority is to get all the outfits... have fun playing this game and acquiring your charecters wardrobes! If you need any help that has to do with Clothing in DK2... E-MAIL ME!

This game is addictive. |
| Kyle from Bellville ,Michigan, U.S.A says (9/Nov/2003): |
when I first heard about Dark Cloud 2, the concept of creating your own towns that you could acctually interact with, and populate was very intriging to me. I saved my money and bought it and at first it seemed kind of cliche.;
A boy stuck in a town he cant leave seeks to see the outside world and have adventure, etc, etc, etc.
I am not going to give away the whole story to you.
This is not "The best game ever made" but it is a good game that will keep you coming back for more. This game does have over 50 hours of gamplay like the package reads, but its more about the replayability than the story line or the battle system, it is more about the addictive elements that keeps you coming back for more.
In conclusion this game is worth the 50 bucks you will lay down at your local best buy, just dont expect an epic story line.
