Beautiful! |
| Azreal Darkskies from Wonderland says (3/Jan/2004): |
After a short rental period, I went out and bought this game and have enjoyed every bit of it.
DC2 is a wonderful RPG adventure, quite possibly one of the best released to date.
What adds to the magic is a perfect combination of effects, with drop dead gorgeous visuals done in a crisp looking cell shaded style, replayablity, and a humorous plot with excellent voice acting.
One of the things that separates this game from the rest is a unique feature called "Georama" which actually lets you rebuild a shattered world however you see fit. By collecting pieces to various buildings you can house the various residents of the world as you choose. This feature was also included in the original DC but that system was linear in which you collected items for specifaclly for certain buildings and place them where the residents tell you. Now in DC2 the system is dramatically opened up, allowing you to build how you choose and place the worlds residents where YOU want adding a whole new level of gameplay and replayablity.
The invention system is another unique twist which scores pretty well with me. Aided with the help of a camera you can take hundreds of thousands of pictures which can be used later for invention ideas. You can make litterally thousands of things using pictures of mundain items found everywhere. After gathering an a collection of pictures you can use them to find ideas to invent, while the invention system is essentially a trial and error sytem in which you take three pictures and see if they can form an invention, it still adds on hours of gameplay.
The weapon system is a pretty cool feature as well. You start of with one weapon, well not anything special it develops quickly. After fighting with a weapon for a while that weapon gains experience that can be used for level ups, but before you level it up you can customize it with various items, like a stonecrusher that adds bonuses to your weapon when you fight against a stone enemy. Soon you have a unique weapon. However there are other weapons that you can buy, they just won't have the bonuses that you have aquired with experience. Once you meet certain requirements with a certain weapon, you can upgrade and turn it into something better. Watch out though your weapons have stamina and if it gets too low your weapon will break making all of your effort in vain! This effect can be easily countered by keeping its stamina up with various items.
I honestly can't think of anything wrong with this game! Dark Cloud 2 has an undeniable charm to it that will keep you entranced for many, many hours! If you don't like this game you probably eat babies.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Brandon P from not telling says (3/Jun/2004): |
This the most entertaining game that level 5 inc has made! The story is exelnt the graphics are cartoony...............but, WHO CARES!!!!!! 100s of comibinatoions to make of the ride pod cloths and invetions! Taking pictures of anything in the game is most exicting! The whole thing is good. Better than the first. And building can be like Sim city....................... Sort of. The battles and music is very good. The game is always challenging! I love this game almost as much as I love FF X! (FIANL FANTASY X!!!!!!! All who play this game are bound to like it! The final bosses though is too easy. That is probally the only thing I can complain about! The rest of the game is just AMAZING! I'm looking for ward to Dark Cloud 3! (look up Dark cloud 3 at google .com type in the words "Dark Cloud 3") I hope it 's as good as these two master peices!(DC1&Dc2) Good-bye. I like this game.

LOSS OF SLEEP!!!!!! |
| Anthony from Indianapolis Indiana U.S. says (15/Dec/2003): |
This game is addicting and great for the hardcore gamer that likes to play a game more than once. This game called my name every night for at least 2 months untill i beat it. It took me just over 120hrs. to beat and i still didnt do everything. This game is unique in combing alot cool in game challenges like spheda(golf) timed levels item invention which i here there are some 25 items to invent with me only inventing 10 to 15. Great storyline and plot in the best RPG you could buy right now maybe even ever buy. Great cheracters and bosses combine for an all around challengeing and fun game. Better than Vice City.

Dark Cloud 1 ain't got anything on Number 2 |
| Jeremy A. Deming from Madison,Florida,USA says (24/Feb/2003): |
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 like the way you can fish, you can even keep the fish you catch and raise them. Then you can even Race the fish you raise or catach in the Fish Racaes. That is cool in my book. You have a password contest. You even have a Ridepod(a robot).
I like the Level Up, Spectrumize, Synthesize, and Build Ups in this game much better than the last. You can even tack pictures in this one. You use the pictures to invent an item then you create the item. If you take pictures used for inventions or unusual "Scoop" photos, you will earn Photographer Points. Your Photographer Level is determined by the number of photographer points you have earned. Good thing happen as your photographer level goes up. You can also use two yes two weapons at once your sword with one hand and a gun in the other. The Dungeons are harder than the first. Most of all it is different unlike the first Dark Cloud you aren't doing the same thing over and over. There is more stuff to do side missions and all. That is my Review. If you like it are not you have to give it the respect because there is not another game like it.

This game is the best in a while, its the reviews and more...... |
| mike from Arlington, tx says (20/Mar/2003): |
I bought this game cause I was in the mode for a good game. I'll be honest when I picked this up I was expecting something else, but this game was truly worth the money.....and then some.
I played the first one with a friend and I thought that one was fun, but then I played this one and I found out that(a little austin powers, but who cares)that was fun but nothing compared to the sequal. I have a ps one, an n64, a ps2, an xbox (and a regular nintendo plus a super nintendo; which were both great in their times, but.......) this game on this platform puts everything to shame. i have played some zelda and final fantasy, but I still like this the best, its everything. Right now I havent been moving ahead in the story because Im training fish and watching them grow and making new ones. Ive got several freinds that have named fish and are so into their fish that they dont care about the game anymore, they only care about their fish. Anyways its a cool game, worth some time.

This Game is Fun |
| Honesty from USA says (28/Mar/2003): |
I don't usually play these kinds of games. I usually go for easy games. Like the Sims, but I decided to try it. And it isn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. It is a challenge for people who don't usually go for these games. Like myself. And its worth the occasional frustration.

The Only real Zelda Killer on PS2 |
| Ramon from Harlingen, Tx Us says (11/Apr/2003): |
This game has it all. With tons and tons of stuff to do its know wonder the game offers over one hundred hours of gameplay. The weapon upgrade system is wonderfull and theres no telling how powerfull you can make your weapons. This time there are only two characters to upgrade with the add on of Steve and the ability to trasform into monsters. My only major grip is how you can jump to the side fast enough to avoid getting hit by enemy fire and Max's battle stance is so horrid you'll want to just use the girl.

This has been one of the best games I have played for a long time. If your looking for realtime fighting other then that kingdom hearts this is it. I mean This game has an ok story line but gameplay is great and The graphics are sur real. I Think you'll need a little help from faqs and such but this game is great.
|
THE BEST DAMN GAME THIS YEAR!!!!! |
| DSJ from USA says (26/Apr/2003): |
I love the Real-time battle system like Kingdom Hearts. I also like the invention system and Georama system. But I love the soundtrack the most. The game play is very long and I love the GREAT storyline and the buliding up of weapons. I can't wait to buy Dark Cloud 3 when they relase it!!!
|
This is a great game! |
| Chensey from Rochester, MN, USA says (28/Apr/2003): |
I think this game was very unique. It is defently worth buying because of it's long lasting gameplay. I realy think RPG players will love this game. I thought the plot was good and the graphics are awsome. I bet Dark Cloud 3 will be really good. If you are thinking of buying a ps2 game this is it!

NOT A GREAT GAME. |
| Trevor from Mcalester, ok says (29/Apr/2003): |
This game is not a great game like people keep tellin me. first of all it gets really annoying doing the same crap over and over again.."oh some stupid place gets its origin point erased and their the only ones that know how to help you but they just point you to another stupid place that has had its origin point erased.)Second, the main people (Max,monica, and griffon) are all kids. i thought that was pretty dumb. and griffon was a rabbit lookin kid..oooohhhh scary..the game has potential but it is far from being great.. or good. i think it was OK.
|
This game is grrrrrrrrrrrreat! |
| BIZ from USA says (29/Apr/2003): |
Still playing, but so far the game is terrific! Very interactive and a great improvement from Dark Cloud 1! The graphics are realistic. This reminds me of Kingdom Hearts (fighting techniques)but with a very different story line. A Very addictive game! Can't wait to see what lies ahead.
|
fun as hell |
| santiago from atlanta, usa says (30/Apr/2003): |
this game from the begining caught my eye, because i loved the first DC, but the story and graphics and the charcters are so detailed. this is such a great game. very well done and a hell of alot of fun. the steve functions in the game make this game go to a hole nother levels. theey really out did themselves with this game.

Dark Cloud 2 is a great game with minor mistakes |
| LordLard from Prather.Usa says (20/May/2003): |
Dark Cloud 2 is a fun games because of the fact that it is an RPG and is a unique game. The weapon upgrading and city building is good but could be better... For instance weapon upgrades take SOOO long and get boring after a while and the city building is practically the same thing in all the chapters. Thats another thing all the levels inside each chapter are the same thing with 1 or 2 added monsters and different mapping. But despite all this Dark Cloud 2 is a Great game.

Better than the first.... |
| Ang3lFir3 from Oklahoma, USA says (26/May/2003): |
okay DC was good but we are talking on whole new levels now!!!. Better Graphics..(way to use those polygons guys!!) and as we know the dungeon crawling and weapons build up parts do take some time.BUT.. come on if you are playing an RPGish game you better expect it damn it!!. I love the inventing. Now I am not much of a console player. FPS player mostly bt when it comes to PS2 console games this is by far worth the time and effort. even if you just play to see the freaking amazing graphics.still trying to get over the grpahics after 100+ hours of gaming (i can't quit without building up everything!)
In three words I LOVE IT !
