   It's amazing how much better researched and thought out RPG Fan's positive review is in comparison to the neophyte negative reviews. The lucidity with which the gameplay, cutscene content and battle system limitations are explained puts the rest of the reviews on this page to shame. VK2 is a challenging game with a story written in by Final Fantasy XII's Miwa Shoda. The contempt for Xseed seems to amount to this: the game is sufficiently hard to wound most reviewers' masculinity. They can't play it, so they condemn the very elements that elevate the game: difficulty, excellent artwork and cutscenes, better than average storytelling. No one has bothered to write a walkthrough yet, which means ordinary users can't brag about finishing in 10 hours in gamefaqs forums. In the old days, every player had to slot through without help. This is a game fit for those days. One thing I'd change about the game is the battle system. You have to continually reset the player's angle during battles or s/he runs off attacking some corner of the battlefield while being assailed by an enemy. That isn't enjoyably difficult, it's an unnecessary glitch. It's also the reason I gave a good action RPG with a good story a mere six stars.… Expand

   I usually love this type of game, but this one is particularly awful in just about every way aside from the graphics. Stats are presented but not adequately explained, the combat is fun to watch but not satisfying at all to participate in, and the exploration suffers from lack of a decent checkpoint system and hours of dull backtracking. Strike two for this series.… Expand
