Pros: Great Combat System, About 70 "Ending", Tons of Side Quests... Cons: Bad Voice Overs (For the Most Part), Not Much Variation in the Many Endings...
Star Ocean: The Second Story
I can still remember the day I picked this game up, I can remember that I only had enough money for 1 game, Star Ocean: The Second Story and The Legend of Legaia, so guess which one I chose? Star Ocean of course,...
Pros: Interesting storyline, unique battle system, and decisions can determine happenings! Cons: Bad voice acting, your only allowed to control one character at a time in battle.
I had borrowed Star Ocean about a week ago simply because I had wanted an RPG to play. Well, little did I know that Star Ocean The Second Story would be one of my favorite RPG's! This has got everything a good RPG needs. Including; an interesting story,...
Pros: Great replay value, Real Time Battle System, Amazing Storyline Cons: Many Glitches
I'll tell you now, this is one of the most underrated games ever. It needed more advertising, and it could've been a lot bigger, because it's an amazing game ^_^. The storyline is enveloping, the characters have radical personalities that will pull you...
Pros: The specialty skills abilities within the game are a great saving point Cons: The story is riddled with holes, music is average at best, combat mode is terrible.
As an avid RPG fan, you get used to sitting through hours and hours of little action and a lot of story. This isn’t a bad thing. Quite the contrary actually. A true fan of the RPG style game savors every detail as if it were a real life story. The...
Pros: Creative skill system, good AI, nice graphics Cons: Mediocre sound, not quite what they advertise
Summer means many things to different people, but for me it's time to catch up on the video games that slipped under my radar during the school year. I have more free time to play, and you can always miss a sleeper if you don't watch out. So among the...
Pros: Longevity, Challenge, Cute Phrases, etc. Cons: NONE
This is the review from a Star Ocean 2: The Second Story master. I have put well over 300 hours into the game, and I have yet to tire of it. It is one of those rare breed of games, a veritable pedigree, that you can play for 40...
Pros: Very meticulous, awesome battle and skill systems, voice acting is present, very decent plot. Cons: Melodramatic voice acting, easy to get lost, mediocre characters.
Back in the ancient days of the SNES and Genesis, RPG's were designed with a single goal in mind: to be fun. Sure, they didn't have ultra-glitzy graphics or spine-chilling storylines, but they were indeed fun. In recent years, things have taken a...
Pros: Great game overall in almost every aspect Cons: Too many possibilities
I bought this game over two years ago, yet I've only started playing it a few days ago. Why? Well, I'm one of those insane people who MUST get EVERY secret in the entire game and see EVERY little inch of it to be completely satisfied, and when I...
Pros: Cool graphics, cool battle system, best cast of characters ANYWHERE! Cons: Side effects may include many sleepless nights, and social retardation
SO2, has got to be my favorite rpg EVER. To me, it beats Chrono Cross, it beats FFIX, it beats FFVII, and it beats Xenogears. It is such a unique game, that it killed me when I finally beat it.
Pros: Excellent graphics, epic music, Innovative and effective play mechanics. Intense and deep battle system, Good story, Excellent characters, Tons of extras and replay value Cons: At times unbalanced, unable to join all characters, voice acting
Star Ocean 2 is an exquisite blend of action, adventure and strategy. Starring one of the greatest cast of characters ever found on an RPG, SO is truly a beautiful game.
I never played the first star ocean, but as a stand alone Rpg, SO2 is one...
Pros: Battle System/Music/Battle System/Endings/Battle Systems Cons: Storyline is weak, evil voice acting, and game gets repetitive...
When my friend bought this game, I remember wanting to play the game badly. It was the only thing I cared about at that current moment. It wasn't like many of the popular RPG's out in stores and in people's homes. In the game, you control one of 4...
Pros: Battle system, innovation, different paths, bonus dungeon Cons: character voices, some graphics, Claude
Star Ocean: The Second Story is one of my favorite RPG's ever. It's great for one main reason: there is so much to do. Star Ocean 2 has more than 80 endings. You can get certain characters depending on what you do. For example, if you Opera, you can...
Pros: Graphics, Music, Gameplay, Takes a long time Cons: Takes a long time
This game is truly one of the most enveloping pieces of work I have been able to get a chance to immerse myself in. The fantastic artwork put into this game can make you stare in awe. 2D 3D style of gameplay is the best choice for a game of this...
Pros: Beautiful cinemas, unique battle system, and interesting storyline Cons: Can easily power-game, and some battles are too easy or too hard
Star Ocean: The Second Story is a very good game for its time. This game has an exceptional story line and beautifully animated cinemas. The graphics for Star Ocean were not exactly extraordinary but they had the same engine as Final Fantasy 7:...
