Grandia II for Dreamcast

Pros: Lovely graphics and an amazing battle system, make this one worth a look.
Cons: Grainy FMV sequences, linear story, and a cliche-filled plot hold it back.

Back in the latter half of the mid ‘90s, the original Grandia appeared on Sega's short-lived Saturn system. Of course, as is generally the case, American gamers got the shaft when Sega decided to not release the title here in the US (Sega...

Pros: Great Graphics, Great Battle System, just a Great Game!
Cons: Skies of Arcadia is a Better Buy...

GRANDIA 2
The DreamCast has had a poor RPG collection for the longest time, well that is unless you like running around as an egg in armor (E.G.G.) but I certainly don't! Sega finally realized that the DreamCast needs RPGs, and GameArts...

Pros: Sensational graphics, battle engine with lots of depth, most of the soundtrack
Cons: complete lack of challenge and originality, a few moments of storyline tedium

Overall: 8.4 / 10.0

{Note: This review contains a few storyline spoilers, so beware! I also bolded the most important parts of the review so yous peeps with lil' time on your hands can get all the important information without...

Pros: Great battle system, detailed graphics, great sound
Cons: There's not a whole lot here that will be new to RPG fans

While I love the heck out of my Sega Dreamcast, even I'll admit that finding a good roleplaying game for the console is a bit of a challenge. Well, actually, it's a huge challenge. In fact, after completing the fantastic ...

Pros: Great story, many hours of play, many skills to earn!
Cons: Nothing really

Just a few months ago I got my Dreamcast. I have been a big fan for RPG's for many years now and I was looking for a really good RPG. I had heard Grandia 2 was something I should get and it would be really good. I ended up buying it with my Christmas...

Pros: Gameplay and battle system.
Cons: Voice-overs.

Pros: Innovative battle system, character development customization, good voice acting, impressive score and graphics.
Cons: Character designs stink except Ryudo and Millenia, linear story, game is a bit too easy.

Wow, I just don't get it. This is by far one of the greatest RPGs of all time, but it is sorely underappreciated. Grandia was a magical little RPG that was first released on the now defunct Sega Saturn, but found more applause by...

Pros: Beautiful graphics, cool combat system, new story, rich colors and detail
Cons: Over played concept, grainy cut-scenes, not enough new to attract much attention

In the wake of the magical experience that is Skies of Arcadia I approached my still sealed copy of Grandia 2 with caution and a glint of doubt in my anticipating eye. Arcadia was such an experience, such a complete manifestation of what I...

Pros: Battle system, decent graphics, nice soundtrack
Cons: Unbalanced combat near the end, linear, no mini-games/side quests

Grandia 2 follows a familiar tale of good versus evil. The world is at war; the gods of Light and Darkness are at it again. You assume the role of Ryudo, and your first task is to escort a songstress to a ceremony for the Church of Granas (the ...

Pros: Interesting combat, beautiful soundtrack
Cons: Awful voice acting, short, linear storyline

After stockpiling a load of fighting games for my Dreamcast, it was about time I picked up an RPG. Grandia 2 proved to be nice addition to my growing library of budget DC games (is that an oxymoron nowadays?).


Story
...

Pros: Engaging story, wonderful soundtrack, simple to pick up
Cons: Jarring sound, infrequent save points, on the short side

Normally, RPGs and I get along about as well as water and electricity. I think I've been rather vocal in the past about my distaste for RPGs, and have gotten a decent amount of ribbing for calling myself a hardcore gamer and not appreciating RPGs. So,...

Pros: Gorgeous graphics, great role playing game, lots of items and spells, long game
Cons: dialogue becomes painful rather quickly, pseudo-religon gets old quickly

I don't know how many people will actually bother to read this review given that the Dreamcast is a dead system, but oh well.

Grandia 2 was a role playing games (RPG) that was touted to be THE definitive rpg for the Dreamcast. It's primary...

Pros: battle system,Millenia, voice acting
Cons: load time, only one cd

The RPG world is a world I never should’ve been introduced to. If it had not been for one of my friends who showed me what exactly a RPG was. The first one I was Final Fantasy III and I haven’t stopped since. I still need to play Chrono Trigger, Final...

Pros: Fun game that is not too challenging
Cons: After you get so far it seems like it just goes on and on

I had been looking for a rpg for Dreamcast for awhile when I found out about this game at ign.com. It got a decent rating so I decided to pick this game up. I wasn't blown away by the game but it is a fun and entertaining game.Grandia 2 has some...

Pros: Great story, stunning graphics, great characters
Cons: short story

Grandia took every RPG lover's heart when it appeared on the Playstation. It was a great game, great story, even if it had those 32 bit graphics. Well what do you get when you add a great story, great characters, and amazing graphics..... Grandia 2 for...
