    It takes everything about the genre and puts it together in one comprehensive package. Unfortunately, though it still remains a fun experience...you feel like you played it all somewhere before. On top of that...the story is seriously lacking for an RPG. Even if it is an Action RPG.

    This game is good but I can't say its the best RPG Its just you must like something else then this game whell, it is a very long which is great more fun but the ending between good and bad makes it no good I would expect a better ending and better story from a good company with good graphics the ending is something you expect from a kid seriously!

    Very similar to the last CON that is my only complaint. I've finished the game at all levels and am just about to start the side levels. I imagine it will be another 2-3 weeks before I tire of it.

    Great hack n'slash game play and the online features are a big improvement from the last game. Gameplay is similar to the last version but that isn't a bad thing and not worth losing marks on. If this were Madden (i.e. same game every year with a few updates), everybody would have given it a 10.

    Yeah, its basically the same game, but it is fun to play. The side quests and the option to return to planes that have been completed are a welcome addition. Return to Arms would have received a 9 if there were not an annoying bug in the very last boss fight. I simply could not rotate the camera without the game being stuck. Other than that, I am very satisfied that Sony and Snowblind have enhanced one of my favorite games. I am about to beat the Return to Arms for the second time to raise my character's level to 80.

  1. Solid game, just not that much different than the first.
  2. For those of you fans of the original wishing for better online support should definitely check out Return to Arms, because I think it just may have what you are looking for.
  3. There's a whole new story, working multiplayer, thousands of new items, new mini-games and sidequests, new classes to play, and the ability to play evil and good plot paths. On the other side of the coin is gameplay that most of us have seen before, following the same formula, and not taking any real chances in the process.
