    An RPG-making beast that requires serious time and dedication. [Holiday 2003, p.40]

    Playing the included pre-made RPG is simple, but creating your own is a daunting task that most will probably give up on before their vision comes to fruition.

    "Fu-Ma" (the included game) is both useless and boring. It's blurry graphics and awkward control (in an RPG?!) provide a sickening surety that no matter how much time you spend in design, the final result won't be worth playing. [Feb 2004, p.88]

    RPG Maker 2 is a very sophisticated game which enables you to design medium class games through a series of various editors. These remarkable editors, such as a dungeon editor, a map editor, and a building editor, rate this game a 10. However, as the player engages further into the programming, he or she will find him or herself travelling in a loop because of the heart of the game: The scripting editor. If the player does not manage to persevere this perplexion, he/she will find great disinterest in the program and rate in something low, such as a 3/10. Nevertheless, if the player does manage to articulate the great information within the program, they will be overjoyed and thus give it a 10/10. The method I would suggest to aclimate to the script and event functions is Trial and Error. The joy of the program is not the freedoms or great editors, it is the fact that you can literaly create a virtual universe where you are God! Then you can make another individual play your game and challenge them to defeat your immagination, which you inputed into the game. (Visit: teamdragoon.proboards44.com for more information)… Expand

    This game does great in all but one category. Yup, it's the scripts. It's too complex!!! So, this will hurt the rating I give RPG Maker 2. So sorry...… Expand
