  • Summary: RPG Maker 2 for PlayStation2 gives players a virtual blank screen and every conceivable tool they?ll need to create the RPG of their dreams. By providing fully rendered 3D models for all characters, monsters, backgrounds, and items, RPG Maker 2 lets the players create intricate, detailed worlds of their own. No other game in the history of video games has ever provided this much incentive for gamers to use every ounce of their creativity! Expand

  1. An RPG-making beast that requires serious time and dedication. [Holiday 2003, p.40]
  2. 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.

    If you’re really serious about this, better game-creating titles do exist, especially on the PC, offering easier interfaces and more freedom to mess with the basic building blocks. Still, this makes for an entry point into the vast realm of game design.
  4. "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]

    This game looks VERY fun. The graphics are polygons, which some people might dislike. Although I haven't played this game, it seems pretty fun. BE WARNED: MANY game magazines have stated that this game is terribly confusing. 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
