Description
The forces of evil are at work again, and it's up to a boy, a sorceress, and a rebel to turn the tide in Wild Arms 2, Sony's latest role-playing game.
Each character starts out alone and must fight bosses and enemies as well as develop his or her own personal set of special moves. Aside from the traditional turn-based fighting, Wild Arms 2 throws in a bit of action, and characters get weapons that they can use to solve puzzles.
The graphics in this game are fully 3-D with huge bosses, but the story is a little thin. It's your typical "beat the megalomaniac before he takes over the world" plot, which players familiar with the genre have seen far too often in games past. Still, there's a large cast of characters, with the playable characters eventually joining forces, and it's fun getting them there. For fans of action role-playing games, this one shouldn't be missed. --Robb Guido
Pros:
- Action blended into traditional turn-based fighting gameplay
- Three characters, each playable separately
- Doesn't emphasize story as much as gameplay
