Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Bose for PlayStation 2

Pros: Great story and battle system.
Cons: Lotsa cutscenes, battle system can be complex for inexperienced players.

Other than your requisite Final Fantasy release, no other RPG on the PS2 was ballyhooed as much as Namco’s Xenosaga. A quasi-prequel to Square’s beloved RPG Xenogears, Xenosaga had a lot to live up to in the shadow of its ‘predecessor’ and as the 1st in ...

Pros: Great story, more streamlined battle system
Cons: Battle/skill system still complicated, out of place j-pop

Xenosaga II: Jenseits von Gut und Bose finds itself in a position very different from the original. Xenosaga Episode I was a heavily hyped role-player, with the legions of Xenogears fans eagerly awaiting the 'prequel' to that PlayStation RPG classic. In ...

Pros: Clever new puzzles and battle mechanics, engrossing storyline, and some well-put-together visual and sound elements.
Cons: Battle system little better in first. Story telling better, too. New KOS-MOS not as good.

Disappointment. Fear. Ignorance. Intolerance. Shame. Rage. These were some of the emotions that many gamers who bought Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht were feeling while they ventured through this 2003 space-based RPG. Emotional and epic, ...

Pros: Great looking CG cutscenes, excellent battle system, decent RPG elements
Cons: Too many cutscenes, in-game graphics uneven, too linear, short if you skip cutscenes

I had never played XenoGears... maybe I should to see why there was so much hype for this game. I w ...

Pros: Story, cut scenes, tons of side quests
Cons: Voice acting, no currency, no equipment, just not as great as the first

Naturally with the success of Xenogears for the PS1, there would be a sequel. Or rather in this case, sort of an un-official sequel that really doesnt have anything at all in common story wise. The supposed six part Xenosaga was later released for the ...

Pros: Great combat system, decent music.
Cons: Music gets monotonous, horrid voice acting, terrible story, too many freaking cut scenes.

The RPG, personal staple of console gaming, and the prime reason I even own consoles to begin with. Without them, my television would do nothing than show me the wonders of the History Channel, Comedy Central and Cartoon Network.

Many a year...

Pros: good grahpics and good VA
Cons: confusing combot system, can be frustrating, can get stuck in some areas.

I got Xenosaga a couple of months ago when I found it at a gamestop for only 17 dollars and after hearing all the hype I decided to get it. Well this is probably the only RPG I have played in a while that I stopped in the middle and didn’t want to get ...

Pros: Great Storyline. Most of the Characters. Good Battle System.
Cons: Mo-Mo and Shion. Cutscenes may bore people with small attention spans.

XenoGears was one of the best games that were created for the original playstation. Since the PS2 came out, the saga has continued with the prequel series to XenoGears, XenoSaga. In Episode I, you find yourself taking on the perspective of Shion, an ...

Pros: A good game, decent RPG elements, engaging storyline
Cons: There is a LOT of storyline, bosses are unbalanced in their difficulty

Do you like RPGs? Does the thought of kicking alien butt using a curvaceous female android excite you? Does the thought of over 8 hours of cinematics cause you to drool? How about a heavily religious overtoned, philosophical, and ...

Pros: Um, the game's at least very short
Cons: The music, the story, the fights, the puzzles, and everything else

I was a tremendous fan of the original "Xenogears" game for the Playstation 1 that the current "Xenosaga" series is based on, as well as the 1st installment in the Xenosaga storyline for the Playstation 2. Both games had an intriguing plot, even if they ...

Pros: Great Story, Music, Graphics, really a great game !
Cons: Short, kind of short in music to...

Okay, now, I will be clear : This game isn’t for everyone. If you don’t like Science Fiction, if you don’t like long cut scenes, if you don’t like having to level up, then, maybe this game isn’t for you. If you’ve played...

Pros: Very involved storyline, Cinematic
Cons: Linear as all get-out, only the first episode of many

I'll start by saying that it's been a long while since I've actually played the game. I got it back when it came out in Japan (It's so nice to live where the games come from), and cleared the game a few months ago, but I figured that since it's available...

Pros: Fantastic graphics, continuation of the Xenosaga story
Cons: Convoluted gameplay, awful storytelling job, bad voice acting, sharp quality drop from the previous game

Xenosaga II is positively not worth playing unless you've played, and beaten Xenosaga I. I'd give Kudos to the development team for following through with this "ground breaking notion" (you know, a sequel require you to have watched the previous movie, ...

Pros: graphics,length, 2 great characters (KOS-MOS and MOMO)
Cons: everything else,(painfully)long, 2 GREAT CHARACTERS???

Let me make this very clear, even to all of you who are afraid to open up the full review from the comfort of the Review List page. I HATE THIS GAME. I HATE IT WITH ALL MY HEART, WITH ALL MY SOUL, AND WITH ALL MY MIND (though it wouldn't take too much ...

Pros: inspiring storyline, good cutscenes, torture makes the end so much sweeter
Cons: useless walking, annoying battle features, unexpected super attacks, ugly menu, disgusting music

I loved Xenosaga I; it was an amazing game but the ending didn't satisfy me-so I just had to get number 2 to see if it could answers all of the questions that went unanswered. Unfortunately Xenosaga 2 was mere torture and, while I did get the story ...
